Abstract

This article introduces a reflection about behavioral specification for interactive and participative agent-based simulation in virtual reality. Within this context, it is necessary to reach a high level of expressiveness in order to enforce interactions between the designer and the behavioral model during the in-line prototyping. It is required to consider the needs of semantic very early in the design process. The intentional agent model is exposed here as a possible answer. It relies on a mixed imperative and declarative approach which focuses on the link between decision and action. The design of a tool able to simulate virtual environment implying agents based on this model is discussed.
