A common limitation of conventional video games is that players quickly learn the positions and behavior of computer-controlled characters , which usually take the form of monsters. Software developers pre-program these characteristics so, after playing the game several times, the player comes to know exactly how and when the monsters will act. The game eventually becomes boring because the pla...

The newest adult consumers were willing to use intelligent agents when businesses were normally closed. Acceptance during normal business is around 30% and females are more accepting than males.

As a result of the versatility of modern phased array radar systems and the complexity of the modern battlefield, it is necessary to design planning algorithms that allow the full exploitation of the sensor’s capabilities. Optimising the radar’s performance is shown to belong to the class of NP-complete problems, thereby excluding the posibility to find an algorithm capable of providing solutio...

In this paper we present DIVA, an architecture for Intelligent Virtual Environments. In DIVA, systems consist of three different modules. There is a World Server that represents the environment in an abstract way, an arb itrary number of Intelligent Agent Clients acting as the world’s inhabitants and a set of Visualisation Clients that generate the system’s visual output. All client modules are...

1.1 Introduction Intelligent agents are a new paradigm for developing software applications. More than this, agent-based computing has been hailed as 'the next significant breakthrough in software development' (Sargent, 1992), and 'the new revolution in software' (Ovum, 1994). Currently, agents are the focus of intense interest on the part of many sub-fields of computer science and artificial i...
