Abstract

A multi-personal-agent system — EPMPAS (Emergent Process Multi-Personal-Agent System) --- is built for emergent process management in a university faculty environment. Personal agents’ interaction performance plays important role in process performance. Applying different interaction strategy to interact with different individual agents by understanding their behavior so that to obtain higher interaction performance is our research goal. Understanding an agent’s behavior is to understand an agent’s APR, i.e. Abilities, Personalities and Relationships. An agent’s APR can be observed and assessed from agents’ interaction history. After several months of works as the assistants of process performers, the interaction performances of EPMPAS are measured according to a defined interaction performance scale.
