Abstract

An environment is described for using behavioural patterns, extracted from past actions of different collaborating or competing agents, in order to predict through simulation their possible future interactions. The architecture and functioning of the environment are outlined and illustrated via an example involving a simplified database application. The underlying machinery comprises plan recognition and generation methods, as well as the use of rules to infer new goals in response to problems and opportunities arising at successive states. A prototype implementation in Prolog augmented with constraint programming features is operational.
