 <blockquote>LIREC aims to establish a multi-faceted theory of artificial long-term companions (including memory, emotions, cognition, communication, learning, etc.), embody this theory in robust and innovative technology and experimentally verify both the theory and technology in real social environments. Whether as robots, social toys or graphical and mobile synthetic characters, interactive and sociable technology is advancing rapidly. However, the social, psychological and cognitive foundations and consequences of such technological artefacts entering our daily lives - at work, or in the home - are less well understood.</blockquote> <blockquote>LIREC aims to establish a multi-faceted theory of artificial long-term companions (including memory, emotions, cognition, communication, learning, etc.), embody this theory in robust and innovative technology and experimentally verify both the theory and technology in real social environments.

 The architecture will consist of 3 layers of abstraction: The architecture will consist of 3 layers of abstraction:
-  * Level 1 - The device layer, hardware drivers +  * Level 1 - The device api layer, hardware drivers 
-  * Level 2 - platform dependant -> logical mappings+  * Level 2 - Logical mappings of devices into competencies
   * Level 3 - ION, platform independent   * Level 3 - ION, platform independent
  
 Level 2 will provide a reference architecture with modular capabilities called competencies. Not all competencies will make sense for all platforms, and different implementations of the same competency will be needed for different platforms. Level 2 will provide a reference architecture with modular capabilities called competencies.
