Impact of different belief facets on agents' decision -- a refined cognitive architecture to model the interaction between organisations' institutional characteristics and agents' behaviour
This paper presents a conceptual refinement of agent cognitive architecture inspired from the beliefs-desires-intentions (BDI) and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) models, with an emphasis on different belief facets. This enables us to investigate the impact of personality and the way that an agent weights its internal beliefs and social sanctions on an agent's actions. The study also uses the concept of cognitive dissonance associated with the fairness of institutions to investigate the agents' behaviour. To showcase our model, we simulate two historical long-distance trading societies, namely Armenian merchants of New-Julfa and the English East India Company. The results demonstrate the importance of internal beliefs of agents as a pivotal aspect for following institutional rules.

Modeling Uncertainty: Constraint-Based Belief States in Imperfect-Information Games
In imperfect-information games, agents must make decisions based on partial knowledge of the game state. The Belief Stochastic Game model addresses this challenge by delegating state estimation to the game model itself. …
