Abstract
Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are agents imitating behaviour of a human or an animal, graphically embodied in a 2D or 3D virtual world. In our university, we have established a novel interdisciplinary course, including a practical seminar, on modelling behaviour of such agents.
The course focuses on action selection from the perspective of artificial intelligence, computer games, and ethology, but covers also various introductory topics from cognitive psychology and neurobiology. This paper details the curriculum of the course.
