Abstract & Keywords
This article presents a generic interaction model between autonomous agents and human users in a Virtual Environment for Training (VET). We define interactions as the way an agent acts on the environment and the way these actions can be perceived by other agents. This model is based on three types of agents. 1) The reactive agents represent the environment. 2) The cognitive agents represent human-like characters that have to collaborate in team to realise a shared plan. The collaboration is defined by a set of roles. A role is considered as a set of actions and the plan is temporal organisation of these actions. 3) Avatars, that are also cognitive aents, can collaborate in the agents' team and represent the users (learners and teachers). Between these three kinds of agents there is potentionally six types of interactions: our model exhibits four major types of interactions. The first type is agents' interactions (reactive interactions), the second is the collaboration between cognitive agents and the two lasts are the interactions users/reactive agents and users/cognitive agents. This model has been applied in a fire fighter VET. This simulator aims to educate officiers to manage teams of fire fighters. Keywords: Virtual Environment for Training, Autonomous agent, Interactions, Human immersion
