Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach to agent modeling that follows a signal based metaphor where agents are modeled as dissipative structures and their cognitive structures are modeled as compositions of multiple energetic potentials. This uniform representational support is used to model both reactive and deliberative processes. To illustrate the descriptive adequacy of the model, two experimental cases are presented where reactive and deliberative processes are modeled based on the proposed approach.
