Abstract

Behavioural models offer the ability to simulate autonomous agents like organisms and living beings. Psychological studies have shown that human behaviour can be described by a perception-decision-action loop, in which the decisional process should integrate several programming para\-digms such as real-time, concurrency, and hierarchy. Building such systems for interactive simulation requires the design of a reactive system treating flows of data to and from the environment, and involving task control and preemption. Accordingly, in this paper we address the adequateness to the decisional part of the behavioural model of Hierarchical Parallel Transition Systems (HPTS).
