Created from two words with opposing meanings, the expression virtual realities is absurd. If
someone were to talk to you about the color black-white, you would probably think that …

This study lies in the context of cognitive ergonomy and virtual engineering. We propose to
model and implement the behaviour of autonomous virtual agents, using ideas from …

We present a one-dimensional model of electrons coupled to localized moments of spin S>~
1 in which magnetism and superconductivity interplay in a nontrivial manner. This model has …

This study lies in the context of virtual engineering and human information systems. We
propose to model and implement the behaviour of believable virtual agents, using ideas …

Writing a good story requires immense patience, creativity and work from the author, and the
practice of writing a story requires a good grasp of the readers' psychology to create …

This chapter provides a brief overview of those virtual agent implementations directly
inspired by the cognitive architecture: Soar. This chapter will take a qualitative approach to …

Le but de ce travail est de donner plus d'autonomiea des acteurs virtuels en les dotant d'une
capacité d'imitation. Un acteur virtuel est un agent autonome ayant sa propre personnalité …
