The functionality of human-machine collaboration systems - mind model and social behavior

As machine evolution continues, human-machine collaboration systems are increasing their importance. In this paper, a social and intelligent agent is discussed as a strategy for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of human-machine collaboration. The proposed approach uses an embedded mind model, which enables agents to interact with the human user consistently, context-dependently, and socially. The relationship between the mind model, personality, and social behavior of the agents is studied through implementation of a prototype system as an e-learning application.
