ABSTRACT
In a previous paper we generated animated agents and their behavior in XML. These agents were specified as FSMs. We make the system more useful by implementing probabilistic FSMs. We show how more interesting behaviors can be generated. Then, we make the system more flexible and structured by implementing layered FSMs and hierarchical FSMs. We show how both of these approaches, used independently or together, allow the user to write more complex behaviors.

Mapping of bibliographical standards into XML
The most popular bibliographical standards, which prescribe the exchange of bibliographical data in machine readable form, are MARC (Machine Readable Cataloguing) and UNIMARC (Universal Machine Readable Cataloguing). This paper presents two schemas, ...

Purpose - XML Schema is used to define schema of XML documents that have become standards for data exchange in various Web-based information applications. The main problem of XML Schema is that it emphasizes syntax and format rather than semantics and ...
