RADIC: a generic component for the integration of existing reactive and deliberative layers

Hybrid architectures have been developed to preserve the responsiveness of reactive layers while also providing the benefits of higher level deliberative capabilities. The challenge of hybrid architecture design is to integrate layers of very different functional roles. We propose a component, called RADIC, that uses a generic technique for the construction of hybrid architectures from pre-existing reactive and deliberative layers that requires only minimal modifications to each layer. In particular, we give a high-level description of the operation and benefits of the component and its algorithms.
