It was developed by James S. Albus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), using the Real-Time Control System which is a hierarchical control system.

During the 1990s, Dr. Albus led a team of researchers in developing an open architecture Enhanced Machine Controller ( EMC ) for intelligent machine tools and next generation inspection systems based on the RCS principles.

Dr. Albus has extended the 4D / RCS reference model to a Cognitive Architecture for Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems.

Most of them derive from early models formulated by David Marr and James Albus, which were motivated by the observation that each cerebellar Purkinje cell receives two dramatically different types of input: On one hand, thousands of inputs from parallel fibers, each individually very weak ; on the other hand, input from one single climbing fiber, which is, however, so strong that a single climbing fiber action potential will reliably cause a target Purkinje cell to fire a burst of action potentials.
