SecondLife® as an evaluation platform for multiagent systems featuring social interactions
Matthias Rehm, Peter Rosina · VBN Forskningsportal (Aalborg Universitet) · 2008
In this paper we propose to use SecondLife as an evaluation environment for multiagent systems that model social group dynamics and social interactions. To this end we developed a control interface for NPCs in SecondLife that allows for running supervised or unsupervised long-term evaluations. Thus, this platform offers the possibility to move evaluation studies from the laboratory into a “natural” setting for the participants. First tests show the potential for this kind of evaluation.
