A Multi-agent System Architecture for Modeling Multicultural Interaction
Résumé
This paper presents an approach for managing a synthetic model of culture based on the cognitive processes that allow humans to display culturally biased behaviors. We present cognitive agents as the underlying methodology for simulating such processes, introducing their main capabilities and using them to simulate the main processes involved in culture management. We present the architecture of an agent with cultural background based on the OMAS cognitive agent architecture. As a study case, we give some examples showing how cultural conflicts in intercultural interactions are recognized.
