Knowledge based simulation of an organization: an agent's behavior in a dynamic environment

Abstract

MOMo's general purpose "playground" enables the user to test and study the behavior of AI-models (intelligent agents) in a knowledge based simulation environment. Agents and environment form an interacting system: During discrete, event-driven simulation the agents act according to "prototypical images" that reflect their perception of the environment. The actions carried out by the agent are inputs to the environment, causing its state to change. The state of the environment, in turn, defines what the agent may act upon.
