Abstract

Throughout the last decade, research in cognitive sciences has proven emotions to be playing a prominent role in human behaviour.

The military is being more and more interested in modelling human behaviour for simulation and training purposes.

The aim of our work is to, from models coming from physiology and psychology, give to such models an operative semantics in order to simulate the human behaviour. We propose a DEVS model of stress states as well as a model of physical tiredness.The latter models interact with the behavioural model within an architecture that we also present.
