Intelligent Virtual Environments for Training: An Agent-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose an architecture for the development of Intelligent Virtual Environments for Training, which is based on a collection of cooperative software agents. The first level of the architecture is an extension of the classical Intelligent Tutoring System architecture that adds to the expert, student, tutoring and communication modules a new module which is called World Module. Several software agents compose each module. Moreover, the proposed architecture includes agents able to simulate the behavior of human students and tutors, as well as agents able to plan the procedures to be taught (given an initial state and a desired final state) prior to the tutoring process.

The use of agents is spreading as a means to develop different kinds of software systems, among which we can find Intelligent Virtual Environments for Training. The agent community has already started to pay attention to software engineering issues to develop agentoriented systems, but they are mainly focused on methodologies and, to some extent, design patterns. However, not much attention has...

In a good team, members do not only perform their individual task, they also coordinate their actions with other members of the team. Developing such team skills usually involves exercises with all members playing their role. This approach is costly and has organizational and educational drawbacks. We developed a more efficient and flexible approach by setting training in virtual environments, ...
