A cell-centered, agent-based framework that enables flexible environment granularities

Towards a Distributed, Environment-Centered Agent Framework

This paper will discuss the internal architecture for an agent framework called DECAF (Distributed Environment Centered Agent Framework). DECAF is a software toolkit for the rapid design, development, and execution of “intelligent” agents to achieve solutions in complex software systems. From a research community perspective, DECAF provides a modular platform for evaluating and disseminating re...

A Cell-centered, Agent-based Method that utilizes a Delaunay and Voronoi Environment in 2- and 3-Dimensions

A Flexible Agent-Based Framework to Control Virtual Characters

We present a generic platform, called IViHumans, for materializing a system of multiple intelligent agents into virtual humans. It is intended to be flexible and applicable to diverse realistic simulation environments. The platform is composed of two layers: the Graphical Layer, and the Artificial Intelligence Layer, that can run autonomously. The architecture of our platform was conceived in o...

A Flexible Agent-Based Framework for Process Management

Information technology support for complex, dynamic, and distributed business processes as they occur in engineering domains requires an advanced process management system which enhances currently available workflow management services with respect to integration, flexibility, and adaptation. We present an uniform and flexible framework for advanced process management on an abstract level which...

A Flexible Framework for the Creation of Narrative-Centered Tools

To better support the creation of narrative-centered tools, developers need a flexible framework to integrate, catalog, select, and reuse narrative models. Computational models of narrative enable the creation of software tools to aid narrative processing, analysis, and generation. Narrativecentered tools explicitly or implicitly embody one or more models of narrative by their definition. Howev...
