Human Behavior Modeling with Ego-conception

[Valentin]

Our laboratory is engaged into studying of behavioral mechanisms of
human psychics, the principles of motivational hierarchy formation and
its functional apparatus. The main goal of our work is building a
self-governing system able not only to response external stimuli like a
live thing does, but also adapting its needs and goals to its own
functional abilities and environment. In order to realize this task we
had to develop a new element in the AI domain - the function of
intentionality. After the integration of this element with the control
system we had built the Ego-conception apparatus (for more detailed
explanation see the Theoretical Base chapter). Without intentionality
any attempts to build an adequate model would be just a commonplace
realization of the SR-algorithm which has an explicitly and rigidly
defined set of the model's needs (aims). Thus, the solution search
algorithms realized in our system are merely instrumental and
subsidiary. The leading role is charged to the logical block of
individual goals (aims) that controls the needs evolution and monitors
the aim hierarchy formation (motivational structure) of the subject
under modeling.

During realization of this task we have developed a unique technology
of motive formation. And on the base of this technology some
instrumental software has been built. This software can be demanded:
1. Artificial Intelligence research and development;
2. behavioral processes and adaptation studying;
3. developers of the Artifical Personality with elements of
intentionality in behavior (academical investigations and applied
research, for example - in entertainment industry and
robotics-building);
4. sociologists and HR-managers (interpersonality transactions,
conflict management, etc).

You can request appropriate documents via email v...@melos.info. We will
be glad to answer your questions. Also you can download this

At present moment the Melos system is a unique technological know-how
that has no analogues in the market of application software nor in
academical works. Besides the evolution and perfection of the Melos
system are going on. The system's features are not bounded to the list
mentioned above. Having approved their functionality from the first
experiments our instrument will be interesting for commercial or
scientific use as for:
a) realization realization of behavioral algorithms as engine-modules
(category embedded-software);
b) building a complex of all-sufficient software (category
socio-psychological instruments);
c) transfer the complete Melos technology, source code and all
documents «in toto».
Furthermore our workgroup appreciates any proposition of collaboration
- especially oriented to the further development and evolution of the
Melos system.

We hope that this material will be interesting for the people involved
into studying of the cognitive psychology and into Artificial
Intelligence investigations. We are looking forward to share the result
of our research and development (which is the foremost technology in
this area) with all people involved into the business of the Artificial
Personality building and human behavior modeling.
