A Unified Perspective on Explaining Dynamics by Anticipatory State Properties
In Cognitive Science, recently Dynamical Systems Theory (DST) has been advocated as an approach to cognitive modelling that is better suited to the dynamics of cognitive processes than the symbolic/computation...

Reasoning by Assumption: Formalisation and Analysis of Human Reasoning Traces
This paper shows how empirical human reasoning traces can be formalised and automatically analysed against dynamic properties they fulfil. To this end, for the reasoning pattern called ‘reasoning by assumption...

Automated Evaluation of Coordination Approaches
How to coordinate the processes in a complex component-based software system is a nontrivial issue. Many different coordination approaches exist, each with its own specific advantages and drawbacks. To support...

Case Analysis of Criminal Behaviour
In this paper, it is shown how behavioural properties can be specified for three types of violent criminals. Moreover, it is shown how empirical material in the form of informal descriptions of traces of crime...

Modeling Decentralized Organizational Change in Honeybee Societies
Multi-agent organizations in dynamic environments, need to have the ability to adapt to environmental changes to ensure a continuation of proper functioning. Such adaptations can be made through a centralized ...

Comparing a Cognitive and a Neural Model for Relative Trust Dynamics
Trust dynamics can be modelled in relation to experiences. Both cognitive and neural models for trust dynamics in relation to experiences are available, but were not yet related or compared in more detail. Thi...

Designing Social Agents with Empathic Understanding
This paper addresses the design of an agent model for a social agent capable of understanding other agents in an empathic way. The model describes how the empathic agent deals with another agent’s mental state...

Modelling Greed of Agents in Economical Context
A classical debate in economics addresses the advantages and drawbacks of modelling from a macroeconomics perspective as opposed to modelling from a microeconomics perspective. Form the latter psychological as...

Learning to Believe by Feeling: An Agent Model for an Emergent Effect of Feelings on Beliefs
An agent’s beliefs usually depend on cognitive factors, but also affective factors may play a role. This paper presents an agent model that shows how such affective effects on beliefs can emerge and become str...

Modelling the Interplay of Emotions, Beliefs and Intentions within Collective Decision Making Based on Insights from Social Neuroscience
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...

An Ambient Intelligent Agent Model Based on Behavioural Monitoring and Cognitive Analysis
This paper proposes a way in which cognitive models can be exploited in practical applications in the context of Ambient Intelligence. A computational model is introduced in which a cognitive model that addres...

A Computational Agent Model for Hebbian Learning of Social Interaction
In social interaction between two persons usually a person displays understanding of the other person. This may involve both nonverbal and verbal elements, such as bodily expressing a similar emotion and verba...

On Rationality of Decision Models Incorporating Emotion-Related Valuing and Hebbian Learning
In this paper an adaptive decision model based on predictive loops through feeling states is analysed from the perspective of rationality. Four different variations of Hebbian learning are considered for diffe...

Agent-Based Modelling of the Emergence of Collective States Based on Contagion of Individual States in Groups
This paper introduces a neurologically inspired computational model for the dynamics and diffusion of agent states within groups. The model combines an individual model based on Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypoth...

Patterns in World Dynamics Indicating Agency
In this paper, the question is addressed which patterns in world dynamics are an indication for a conceptualisation of a world’s process as an agent. Six criteria are discussed that provide an indication for t...
