A Cognitive Social Agent Architecture for Cooperation in Social Simulations

Abstract

Abstract. We present a cognitive agent architecture to allow its agents to exhibit social behaviors influenced both by rational and cognitive motivators. Currently, our focus is on cooperation and our objective is the observation or emergence of non-scripted behavior in social cooperative environments. We present the results of applying our architecture in the design of virtual agents in which they spontaneously cooperate to achieve their individual and social goals.

On designing migrating agents

“…hybrid models) perform deliberative and reactive operations, simultaneously. COGNITIVA [Spinola and Ricardo 2012] is a reactivedeliberative agent architecture that consists of reactive, deliberative and social layers. In those situations that there is no time for planning, the reactive layer reacts to the situation.…”
