چکیده

This paper presents a model to generate and animate groups which emerge as a function of interaction among virtual agents. The agents are characterized through the following parameters: sociability, communication, comfort, perception and memory. The emergent groups are characterized through the cohesion parameter which describes the homogeneity of ideas of the group members. In this work we are mainly interested in investigating the formation of groups (membership and time for grouping), the groups characterization (cohesion parameter) and their visual representation (group formation). The overall results suggest that the interaction among agents contributes to larger groups and higher crowd cohesion values.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents

Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

Electrical Lesion of Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta; An Alternative and Convenient Way to Generate the Animal Model of Parkinson’s Disease

The unilateral or bilateral lesion of the Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) by chemical neurotoxins such as 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA) or 1- Methyl-4- phenyl -1,2,3,6 – tetirahydro pyridine (MPTP) are the most commonly and the main used methods for generating the animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD). But these agents are expensive, dangerous, difficult to use and inacce...

A comprehensive model using modified Zeeman model for generating ECG signals

Developing a mathematical model for the artificial generation of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is a subject that has been widely investigated. One of its uses is for the assessment of diagnostic ECG signal processing devices. So the model should have the capability of producing a wide range of ECG signals, with all the nuances that reflect the sickness to which humans are prone, and this ...

Toward life-like agents: integrating tasks, verbal communication and behavioural engines

We present a platform for animating communicative autonomous virtual humans. This is indeed a great technical challenge that involves the low-level animation capabilities (using the notion of tasks to handle concurrent gestures) to the high-level behaviour simulation as computed by our Intelligent Virtual Agent. In order to exchange information, a verbal inter-agents communication is also possi...
