Most of hybrid agent architectures are made by a hierarchical succession of a reactive (at a lower level) and a cognitive (at a higher level) layers. Each of these layers represents a behavior, a function, a decision, etc. Instead of using such functional layers, we propose in this paper a generic model of social hybrid agent, which is rather based on natural (animal/human) motivations of the a...
