3D agent-based virtual communities

Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach to 3D agent-based virtual communities in which autonomous agents are participants in VRML-based virtual worlds to enhance the interaction with users or serve as intelligent navigation assistants. In addition, an agent communication language (ACL) is designed as a high-level communication facility, in particular for the realization of shared objects in virtual communities. As a typical example of 3D agent-based virtual communities, a VRML-based multi-user soccer game has been developed and implemented in the distributed logic programming language DLP. We discuss how DLP can be used for the implementation of 3D agent-based virtual communities.

Aplicando Conceitos de Sistemas Multiagentes na Elaboração de um Jogo de Estratégia Simulado

“…Alguns livros também trazem a aplicação de outras técnicas de IA no desenvolvimento de jogos, tais como lógica fuzzy, redes neurais e bayesianas, algoritmos genéticos, algoritmos de busca, sistemas markovianos, aprendizado de máquina, planning, porém em relação aos agentes ainda há espaço para exploração, principalmente considerando conceitos de organização, ambiente, negociação, reputação etc [13,14]. Por fim, outras propostas que utilizam SMA em jogos podem ser encontradas em [15,16,17,18,19,20].…”

XSTEP: a markup language for embodied agents

“…We have implemented STEP for H-anim based humanoids in the distributed logic programming language DLP [2]. 3 DLP is a tool for the implementation of 3D intelligent agents [7]. 4 STEP introduces a Prolog-like syntax, which makes it compatible with most standard logic programming languages, whereas the formal semantics of STEP is based on dynamic logic [5].…”
