Abstract

Social Simulations need agents with a realistic behavior to be used as a scientific tool by social scientists. When simulating a human society, a realistic behavior implies the use of cognition, social relations between people but also to take into account emotions and the dynamic between these features. However, developing such a behavior is often too complex for people with little knowledge in programming. In this paper, we present a formalism to represent cognition, social relations and emotions, which is integrated in an agent architecture to give a dynamic emotional behavior to social agents. This architecture is implemented in the open-source multi-agent platform GAMA. A use case about evacuation during bush fires in Australia is used to show the possibilities of our work.
