AO and HCSE – a fit?
 Implicitly, some AO architectures, frameworks and
methodologies suggest good compatibility, e.g.
 BDI – via Folk Psychology
 ShadowBoard – via Analytical Psychology

A Gap in Agent
Architectures:
 The Human Computer Interface is important
in AO systems, as it was in OO.
 Data Modellers know something in general
about models and meta-models.
 This work is aimed at enhancing AO
concepts, architectures and technology wrt
application to computer games in
particularly.

AO and HCSE – a fit?
 This work is aimed at enhancing AO
concepts, architectures and technology wrt
application to computer games in
particularly, however:
 Much of it generalises to:
 AO applications with a graphic or rich media
user interface.
 Human-in-the-loop AO systems, that use a
computer screen within the human-agent
interaction interface.
