: We consider socio-technical processes, i.e. processes where machines as well as humans participate. Typical examples occur in sales processes in e-commerce. Three modeling tasks ...
We propose a new discriminative framework, namely Hidden Dynamic Conditional Random Fields (HDCRFs), for building probabilistic models which can capture both internal and external...
This paper defines an approach to simulation of natural systems, inspired by complex systems theory. A complex natural system is modeled as a multi-agent simulation system, agents...
This paper presents the Agent MOdeling LAnguage (AMOLA). This language provides the syntax and semantics for creating models of multi-agent systems covering the analysis and design...
Recent research has shown that virtual agents expressing empathic emotions toward users have the potentiality to enhance human-machine interaction. To provide empathic capabilitie...
