BDI agents have been used with considerable success to model humans and create human-
like characters in simulated environments. A key reason for this success is that the BDI …

JACK TM is an implementation of the Belief/Desire/Intention model of rational agency with
extensions to support the design and execution of agent systems where team structures, real …

This paper discusses the use of BDI agents for the development of human-like synthetic
characters. The folk psychological roots of the paradigm map closely to the way people …

There is an increasing need for autonomous systems that exhibit effective decision-making
in unpredictable environments. However, the design of autonomous decision-making …

In communication refinement with multiple communication protocols and abstraction levels,
the system specification is described by heterogeneous components in terms of …

The work presented in this thesis has been undertaken during my candidature at the
University of Melbourne, although for three months of this period I studied under Frank E …

BDI (Belief/Desire/Intention) models have a long and successful track record of use in CGFs
(Computer-Generated Forces). Over the last two decades, cognitive architectures have been …

This article describes a virtual village we are currently assembling. Called NonKin Village,
this is a gameworld that brings life to factional agents in a sort of an emergent SimCity. It …

ABSTRACT A key requirement in military simulation is to have executable models of tactical
decision-making. Such models are used to simulate the behaviour of human entities such as …

With the recent upsurge in interest in agents for 'serious games,'there has been a focus on
the 'believability'of agents in these settings. In this paper, I argue that when evaluating …
