Toward a Unified Catalog of Implemented Cognitive Architectures

This work is a review of the online Comparative Table of Cognitive Architectures (the version that was available at http://bicasymposium.com/cogarch on September 20, 2010). This continuously updated online resource is a collective product of many researchers and developers of cognitive architectures. Names of its contributors (sorted alphabetically by the represented architecture name) are: James S. Albus (4D/RCS), Christian Lebiere and Andrea Stocco (ACT-R), Stephen Grossberg (ART), Brandon Rohrer (BECCA), Balakrishnan Chandrasekaran and Unmesh Kurup (biSoar), Raul Arrabales (CERA-CRANIUM), Fernand Gobet and Peter Lane (CHREST), Ron Sun (CLARION), Ben Goertzel (CogPrime), Frank Ritter and Rick Evertsz (CoJACK), George Tecuci (Disciple), Shane Mueller (EPIC), Susan L. Epstein (FORR), Stuart C. Shapiro (GLAIR), Alexei Samsonovich (GMU BICA), Jeff Hawkins (HTM), David C. Noelle (Leabra), Stan Franklin (LIDA), Pei Wang (NARS), Akshay Vashist and Shoshana Loeb (Nexting), Cyril Brom (Pogamut), Nick Cassimatis (Polyscheme), L. Andrew Coward (Recommendation Architecture), Ashok Goel, J. William Murdock and Spencer Rugaber (REM), John Laird (Soar), and Kristinn Thorisson (Ymir). All these contributions are summarized in this work in a form that makes the described architectures easy to compare against each other.
