Using Belief Theory to formalize the agent behavior : application to the simulation of avian flu propagation
International audience Multi-agent simulations are powerful tools to study complex systems. However, a major difficulty raised by these simulations concerns the design of the agent behavior. Indeed, when the agent behavior is lead by many conflicting criteria (needs and desires), its definition is v...
