Journal ArticleDOI

The distributed simulation of multiagent systems

TL;DR: The authors identify the efficient distribution of the agents' environment as a key problem in the simulation of agent based systems and present an approach to the decomposition of the environment that facilitates load balancing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Griefing in virtual worlds: causes, casualties and coping strategies

TL;DR: Negative behaviour, or ‘griefing’, inside one virtual world is studied through a series of observations and focus groups with users to examine why griefing happens and who the likely targets and perpetrators are, and suggest strategies for coping with it.
Journal ArticleDOI

Building cognitively rich agents using the SIM_Agent toolkit

TL;DR: An interest in modelling human mental functioning, a desire for more interesting synthetic agents (‘believable agents’) in games and computer entertainments, and the need for intelligent agents capable of performing more complex tasks than hitherto are motivation for such research.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Programming norm-aware agents

TL;DR: It is shown that N-2APL agents are rational in the sense of committing to a set of plans that will achieve the agent's most important goals and obligations by their deadlines while respecting its most important prohibitions.
