Trust-based decision-making system for action selection by autonomous agents

Virtual agents can play the trainee's teammates in Collaborative Virtual Environments for Training (CVET). In such teams, trust is essential since people rely on each others. We propose a decision making system for agents in CVET based on an agent model inspired from works on trust in organizational psychology. Agents dimensions are integrity, benevolence and abilities, and agents have trust-beliefs about their teammates integrity, benevolence and abilities. Based on their personal dimensions and trust beliefs, agents compute the importance of their goals and then the utility of actions to select the most appropriate action.
