We give a formal framework for studying real-time discrete-event systems. It describes concurrent processes as sets of possible behaviors. Compositions of processes are processes ...
In this paper, we first discuss the meaning of physical embodiment and the complexity of the environment in the context of multi-agent learning. We then propose a vision-based rei...
: Although avatars may resemble communicative interface agents, they have for the most part not profited from recent research into autonomous embodied conversational systems. In pa...
The long range goal of the “Virtual Design Team” (VDT) research program is to develop computational tools to analyze decision making and communication behavior and thereby to ...

Robotic soccer is a challenging research domain which involves multiple agents that need to collaborate in an adversarial environment to achieve specificobjectives. In this paper...
Crowd simulation for virtual environments offers many challenges centered on the trade-offs between rich behavior, control and computational cost. In this paper we present a new a...
Abstract. The real-time process algebra (RTPA) is a set of new mathematical notations for formally describing system architectures, and static and dynamic behaviors. It is recogniz...
- It is important to identify how much the appearance of a humanoid robot affects human behaviors toward it. We compared participants' impressions of and behaviors toward two ...
This paper presents a Hierarchical Context Hidden Markov Model (HC-HMM) for behavior understanding from video streams in a nursing center. The proposed HC-HMM infers elderly behav...
Constructing the controller of a mobile robot has several issues to be addressed: how to automate behavior generation procedure, how to insert available domain knowledge effective...
