Open AccessHealing the next generation: an adaptive agent model for the effects of parental narcissism
Parents play an important role in the mental development of a child. In our previous work, we addressed how a narcissistic parent influences a child (online/offline) when (s)he is happy and admires the child. ...

Open AccessVerification of temporal-causal network models by mathematical analysis
Usually dynamic properties of models can be analysed by conducting simulation experiments. But sometimes, as a kind of prediction properties can also be found by calculations in a mathematical manner, without ...

Agent-Based Modeling of Emotion Contagion in Groups
To avoid the development of negative emotion in their teams, team leaders may benefit from being aware of the emotional dynamics of the team members. To this end, the use of intelligent computer systems that a...

Open AccessModelling collective decision making in groups and crowds: Integrating social contagion and interacting emotions, beliefs and intentions
Collective decision making involves on the one hand individual mental states such as beliefs, emotions and intentions, and on the other hand interaction with others with possibly different mental states. Achie...

Open AccessAn ambient agent architecture exploiting automated cognitive analysis
In this paper an agent-based ambient agent architecture is presented based on monitoring human’s interaction with his or her environment and performing cognitive analysis of the causes of observed or predicted...

Article
Open AccessAn intelligent agent model with awareness of workflow progress
To support human functioning, ambient intelligent agents require knowledge about the tasks executed by the human. This knowledge includes design-time information like: (i) the goal of a task and (ii) the alter...

Open AccessA virtual human agent model with behaviour based on feeling exhaustion
A computational agent model for monitoring and control of a virtual human agent’s resources and exhaustion is presented. It models a physically grounded intelligent decision making process within the agent mod...

Open AccessOn the reciprocal interaction between believing and feeling: an adaptive agent modelling perspective
An agent’s beliefs usually depend on informational or cognitive factors such as observation or received communication or reasoning, but also affective factors may play a role. In this paper, by adopting neurol...

Formal Analysis of Dynamics within Philosophy of Mind by Computer Simulation
Computer simulations can be useful tools to support philosophers in validating their theories, especially when these theories concern phenomena showing nontrivial dynamics. Such theories are usually informal, ...

Article
Formal modeling and analysis of cognitive agent behavior
From an external perspective, cognitive agent behavior can be described by specifying (temporal) correlations of a certain complexity between stimuli (input states) and (re)actions (output states) of the agent...

Open AccessA specification language for organisational performance indicators
A specification language for performance indicators and their relations and requirements is presented and illustrated for a case study in logistics. The language can be used in different forms, varying from in...
