Abstract
This research focuses on designing affective roles in agent-based social simulation (ABSS) focused on ethology. Synthetic agents are addressed as autonomous, intentional software entities capable of managing primate-like (hierarchical) social relationships in small-scale societies. The critique involves discussion of potential affective roles in socio-cognitive agent architectures, both in terms of individual action-selection and group organisation. With the diversity of social and emotional accounts, primate-like ABSS is put forward with individual behaviour related not only to reactivity or focused on function-optimisation.
