Modeling interactions in a mixed agent world
Authors: Wafa Johal, Julie Dugdale, Sylvie Pesty
Abstract
The emergence of mixed agent-human societies poses challenges in designing companion agents that are able to form meaningful relationships with humans. This paper describes the first step in developing companion agents. Problem/situations have been identified where companion agents may provide important social contact with humans. Based on a scenario, interactions between human and artificial agents have been modelled in the Brahms modelling and simulation environment. This provides us with a far deeper understanding of the roles that a companion agent should fulfil and how it could switch from one social role to another.
