Abstract
Agents need some kind of autonomy to act in open and dynamic environments. However, the resulting behavior is not always well adapted to the situation. The use of models that combine different reasoning levels creates other difficulties. The management of the control transfer and balance between abstract time-consuming reasoning processes and reactive quick low-level behaviors are particularly complex. Our model is based on the self-observation and control of agents. The main topic is the inconsistency detection used to transfer the control between contiguous levels. This is detailed in the context of virtual pedestrians design.
