In this paper, we propose architecture of an informational Server founded on the multi agent paradigm. Our proposition is based on the EASI model (Environment as an Active Support for Interactions) which implements the concept of the mutual awareness in the multi agent domain. The goal is to permit agents to evolve in a strongly interactional environment. We have applied our proposition to the ...

This paper outlines the application of interactional structures observed by various researchers to the development of artificial interactive agents. The original work from which these structures are drawn has been carried out by researchers in a range of fields including anthropology, sociology and social psychology. We briefly discuss the application of heuristics derived from this work to the...

In this paper we describe the computational and architectural requirements for systems which support real-time multimodal interaction with an embodied conversational character. We argue that the three primary design drivers are real-time multithreaded entrainment, processing of both interactional and propositional information, and an approach based on a functional understanding of human face-to...

This chapter outlines the application of interactional structures observed by various researchers to the development of artificial interactive agents. The original work from which these structures are drawn has been carried out by researchers in a range of fields including anthropology, sociology and social psychology: the ‘local approach’ described in this paper draws particularly on conversat...

This study examines whether the perceived boundary between in-role and extra-role behaviors varies depending on workplace conditions, emphasizing how interactional justice influences an employee’s role definitions. We collect data through a questionnaire survey and adopt Tobit regressions for hypothesis testing. The study results indicate that perceived interactional justice enlarges the breadt...

Autonomous robot soccer system consists of a multi-robot that need to cooperate in unknown, dynamic, and competitive environment. In the cooperation, the interactional behavior of robots is accomplished by their communication. Thus, it is a crucial issue how to realize the real time communications among multi-robots. In this paper, we based the architecture of a communication subsystem of auton...

PURPOSE This study explored contributions that patients' companions (seizure witnesses) make to interactions in the seizure clinic and whether the nature of the companions' interactional contributions can help with the differentiation of epilepsy and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). METHODS Conversation analysis methods were used to examine video recordings and transcripts of neurolo...
