Behaviour Alignment as a Mechanism for Anticipatory Agent Interaction

چکیده

In this paper, we present a formalism to de ne agents' behaviours (as exhibited in agent to agent interactions), by an extension of Petri Nets, and show how behaviours of di erent agents can be aligned using speci c alignment policies. We explain why these agents are anticipatory, and the link between Business Information Systems and anticipatory systems is elaborated. A mechanism is proposed for automatic choosing of an alignment policy by the agent, in order to make the system more reliable, and to reduce the necessary human intervention. Due to the preliminary nature of this work, future directions of research are pointed out.

Anticipatory Alignment Mechanisms for Behavioral Learning in Multi Agent Systems

In this paper we present a conceptualization and a formalization to de ne agents' behaviors (as exhibited in agent to agent interactions), via an extension of Petri Nets, and show how behaviors of di erent agents can be aligned. We explain why these agents can be considered anticipatory, and the link between Business Information Systems and anticipatory systems is elaborated. We show that align...

Agonistic acts as possible indicator of food anticipatory activity (FAA) in rainbow trou (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Food anticipatory activity (FAA) was assessed in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) in two small raceways using demand-feeding (T2) and hand-feeding (t2). The fish of both raceways were subjected to restricted feeding (RF) at two times in two places and the fish distribution and/or trigger actuation, total agonistic behaviour between fish, and swimming speed were measured. Food anticipatory ...

Cognitively Inspired Anticipation and Anticipatory Learning Mechanisms for Autonomous Agents

This paper describes the integration of several cognitively inspired anticipation and anticipatory learning mechanisms in an autonomous agent architecture, the Learning Intelligent Distribution Agent (LIDA) system. We provide computational mechanisms for variants of payoff, state, and sensorial anticipatory mechanisms. The payoff anticipatory mechanism in LIDA is implicitly realized by the acti...

Levels of Conscious and Unconscious Anticipatory Behaviour for Artificial Creatures

Recently, anticipation and anticipatory learning systems have gained increasing attention in the field. The interest of researchers in anticipation did not started over night. Anticipation observed in the animals combined with the multi-agent systems and artificial life gave birth to the anticipatory behaviour. This is broad multidisciplinary topic, but there are little thoughts on relation of ...

Using Anticipation to Create Believable Behaviour

Although anticipation is an important part of creating believable behaviour, it has had but a secondary role in the field of life-like characters. In this paper, we show how a simple anticipatory mechanism can be used to control the behaviour of a synthetic character implemented as a software agent, without disrupting the user’s suspension of disbelief. We describe the emotivector, an anticipat...
