Abstract

When operating in virtual communities, intelligent agents should maintain a high-level awareness of the physical and social environment around them in order to be more believable and capable. However, due to the inherent differences between virtual worlds and agent systems such as BDI, such a high-level of awareness has not been achieved for IVAs. In this paper we present a system that enables IVAs to maintain a high-level awareness of their environment by identifying complex events taking place in their environment, as well as by being able to monitor for the fulfilment and violation of their expectations.
