Serious games can be used to improve people’s social awareness by letting them experience difficult social situations and learn from these experiences. However, we assert that, when moving beyond the strict realism that social simulations offer, techniques from role play may be used that offer more possibilities for feedback and reflection. We discuss the design of two such serious games for in...

Moving object detection is one of the most challenging tasks in intelligent video surveillance system. It aims to detect targets with a camera instead of human eyes and assist people to complete monitoring and control tasks. Moving target detection, classification, tracking, behavior understanding and description are included in intelligent video surveillance, but moving target detection is the...

We present a method for the generation of real-time dynamic autonomous agents in game environments. The method is based on the use of dynamical systems theory which allows us to express intelligent behaviors using systems of differential equations. These differential equations operate at two distinct levels. At one level, the differential equations governing movement comprise a carefully design...

The Trial The Trail is an interactive drama running on an immersive VR system. Imagine Tarkovsky’s Stalker, crossed with Alice Through the Looking Glass, crossed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Now imagine embarking on a guided journey through this warped yet familiar landscape. Your guides are two intelligent agents, Patofil and Filopat. We consider a virtual reality drama to be a script...

This paper describes an accelerated resource allocation of autonomous moving multi-agents, whose agents stochastically move on a resource consisting of cells in accordance with transition probabilities in synchronization, depending on other agents. Then, each agent has an accelerated average moving speed for their moving directions randomly and independently. We assume interactions or coordinat...

he battlespace is increasingly dynamic and challenging. The volume of information available to decision-makers is ever increasing. The uncertainties about the battlespace, whether due to cyber attack, miscommunication, mechanical fault, or other problem, prevents rapid, effective, informed decision-making. The mere application of so-called “big data” technologies cannot address the scope of the...

Negotiation is a decentralized decision-making process that seeks to find an agreement which will satisfy the requirements of two or more parties in the presence of limited common knowledge and conflicting preferences. Negotiation participants are agents who negotiate on their own behalf or represent the interests of their principals. When electronic negotiations enter the stage, these agents c...

he battlespace is increasingly dynamic. The volume of information available to all decision-makers is increasing. The uncertainties about the battlespace, whether due to cyber attack, miscommunication, mechanical fault, or other problems, prevents rapid, effective, informed decision-making. Clearly, the mere application of so-called “big data” technologies cannot address the scope of the coming...

The paper presents a detailed set of intelligent agents for the modelling of learner’s emotions in intelligent tutoring systems. Functions and interaction of the agents, the overall decision making process and the involvement of the agents in the affective loop of an intelligent tutoring system are described. The most widespread categories of inputs for the determination of a learner’s emotiona...
