Over the last few years, the use of agent-based simulations to study social systems has spread to many domains (e.g., geography, ecology, sociology, economy). These simulations aim to reproduce real life situations involving human beings and thus need to integrate complex agents to match the behavior of the simulated people. Therefore, notions such as cognition, emotions, personality, social relationships or norms have to be taken into account, but there is currently no agent architecture that could incorporate all these features and be used by the majority of modelers, including those with low levels of skills in programming. In this paper, the BEN (Behavior with Emotions and Norms) architecture is introduced to tackle this issue. It is a modular architecture based on the BDI model of cognition and featuring modules to add emotions, emotional contagion, personality, social relationships and norms to agent behavior. This architecture is integrated into the GAMA simulation platform. An application of BEN to the simulation of the evacuation of a nightclub on fire is presented and shows the complexity of behaviors that may be developed with this architecture to create credible and expressive simulations.

BEN：社会代理人行为的架构

在过去的几年里，使用基于代理的模拟来研究社会系统已经扩展到许多领域（例如，地理、生态学、社会学、经济）。这些模拟旨在重现涉及人类的现实生活场景，因此需要集成复杂的代理以匹配模拟人的行为。因此，必须考虑认知、情感、个性、社会关系或规范等概念，但目前还没有代理架构可以包含所有这些特征并被大多数建模者使用，包括那些低水平的建模者。编程技能。在本文中，引入了 BEN（带有情绪和规范的行为）架构来解决这个问题。它是一种基于 BDI 认知模型的模块化架构，具有添加情感的模块，情绪传染、个性、社会关系和代理人行为规范。该架构集成到 GAMA 仿真平台中。介绍了 BEN 在模拟夜总会火灾疏散中的应用，并展示了可以使用该架构开发的行为的复杂性，以创建可信和富有表现力的模拟。
