This article deals with a humanmodel of interaction based on a psychological experiment. It presents an original architecture called BDIGGY where interaction and planning are linked homogeneously thanks to the BDI concept.

Generating user interfaces out of semantic models is still an issue because of the semantic gap between ontologies and user interfaces. We bridge this gap through semantic model-driven development. More precisely, we show how to automatically generate high-level interaction models (in the form of communication models representing discourses) out of (annotated) ontologies, using model-transforma...

Khalil, 2005), this paper aims to examine certain “noncanonical” interactions amongst these domains. In particular, I shall be looking at instances where a potential referent is evoked within a highly presupposed, d...
