Abstract
This paper describes an application of conceptual graphs in knowledge engineering. We are developing an assistance system for the acquisition and the validation of stereotyped behaviour models in human organizations. The system is built on a representation language requiring to be at expert level, to have a clear semantics and to be interpretable. The proposed language is an extension of conceptual graphs dedicated to the representation of behaviours. Tools exploiting this language are provided to assist the construction of behaviour models and their simulation on concrete cases.
