Generalizations of Steering - A Modular Design

Steering and its many variants have been used to model multi-agent behavior in simulated worlds. Each variant of the steering algorithm introduces its own concepts and components. This work aims to generalize those in a modular building block design which allows to recreate existing steering algorithms and draft new versions. The concept is demonstrated in small-scale study on aggregation functions which shows the impact of a single building block on the agents’ behavior.
