VIRTUAL-ME: A Library for Smart Autonomous Agents in Multiple Virtual Environments

Emulating human behaviour is a very desirable characteristic for virtual agents. There is plenty of literature that focuses on a single specific aspect of human behaviour emulation, but it is quite rare to find a collection of implementations encompassing several aspects of the problem. In this work we present VIRTUAL-ME (VIRTUal Agent Library for Multiple Environment), a library that provides programmers with a complete set of classes that assembles various human characteristics and makes it possible to build smart agents. The assessment of the library capabilities to populate a generic virtual environment is also discussed through the analysis of different case studies.
