“…A system that incorporated intelligent agents within virtual environments was mVITAL (multi-agent VITAL) which allowed the definition of agent societies so that intelligent agents could communicate through simple speech acts, co-operate and help each other to achieve goals (Vosinakis et al, 1999) (Anastassakis et al 2001a) (Anastassakis et al 2001b) . The mVITAL viewer allowed human supervisors to observe the activity inside the environment.…”

“…A wide range of approaches may be found in literature following this choice. For instance, DIVA [34] (and its evolution, VITAL [35]) is developed to use a Prolog-based engine for deliberation. Another approach is to develop a virtual environment with only one agent acting as a wizard agent for training and educational purposes such as STEVE [36].…”

This paper presents a new environment for teaching (in a practical way) AI subjects. The main purpose of such environment is to make more appealing AI techniques to the students along with facilitating the approach of these students to toolkits that are currently and widely used in research and in development. This new environment is composed of a toolkit for developing and executing agents, called JGOMAS, and a web-server dedicated to it where students may access to different documentation and information and interact with teachers. Lastly, it is presented a real case of application of this environment to the practical work of an advanced AI subject.

“…mVITAL [1] and SimHuman [23] appear as two close systems in the literature of virtual humans but they are not focused on collaborative 3DIVA. The system presented in this paper, though, follows the Co-X definitions for agent interactions [22] and it exhibits Collaboration.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a set of mechanisms oriented to incorporate social information into the decision taking of task-oriented 3DIVA. The aim of this approach is to integrate collaborative skills in different character's roles (seller/buyer, worker, pedestrian, etc.) in order to enhance its behavioral animation. The collective intelligence expected in this kind of multi-character domains (e.g. storytelling, urban simulation, interactive games, etc.) requires agents able to dialogue/interact with other characters, to autonomously group/ungroup (according to their goals), or to distribute tasks and coordinate their execution for solving possible conflicts. The social model implemented follows the definitions for collaborative agents, since agents use communicative acts to cooperate. In this context, collaboration derives mainly from two points: team formation (grouping for 3DIVA) and task coordination (reducing dependences between agent activities). Finally, we show the results obtained in 3D multi-character simulations (resource competition), created to verify the social behavior introduced.
