| Description: |
The field of Socially Intelligent Agents (SIA) is an important area that comprises highly active research activities and strongly interdisciplinary approaches. This book addresses topics such as: social robotics, embodied conversational agents, affective computing, narrative and story-telling, social aspects in multi-agent systems, and more. |
| Synopsis: |
Socially situated planning provides one mechanism for improving the social awareness ofagents. Obviously this work isin the preliminary stages and many of the limitation and the relationship to other work could not be addressed in such a short chapter. The chief limitation, of course, is the strong commitment to de?ning social reasoning solely atthe meta-level, which restricts the subtlety of social behavior. Nonetheless, our experience in some real-world military simulation applications suggest that the approach, even in its preliminary state, is adequate to model some social interactions, and certainly extends the sta- of-the art found in traditional training simulation systems.
