Consistently exhibited personalities are crucial elements of realistic, engaging, and behavior-rich conversational virtual agents. Both nonverbal verbal cues help convey these agents’ unseen psychological states, contributing to our effective communication with them. We introduce a comprehensive framework design agents that express personality through non-verbal behaviors like body movement fac...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

In this paper we use formal argumentation theory to study the deliberation cycle of the BOID cognitive agent architecture. We combine goal generation with a planning approach recently proposed by Leila Amgoud. In her formal argumentation framework plans for fulfilling a desire are represented just like arguments that support a conclusion; the framework can thus deal with conflicting desires. In...

The main aim of my PhD thesis is to develop a theory for arguing in groups and apply it to allow agents in open MultiAgent societies to reach agreements by using argumentation. The thesis proposes a computational argumentation framework for agent societies. Also, a protocol that allows agents in multi-agent societies to engage in argumentation processes is also being developed. ACM Categories: ...

This paper deals with strategical issues of arguing agents in a multi-agent setting. We investigate different scenarios of such argumentation games that differ in the protocol used for argumentation, i. e. direct, synchronous, and dialectical argumentation protocols, the awareness that agents have on other agents beliefs, and different settings for the preferences of agents. We give a thorough ...
