Abstract
The creation of virtual humans capable of behaving and interacting realistically with each other requires the integration of interdisciplinary theories, methods and approaches. Although Intelligent Virtual Simulation has focused on realistic interactions of their inhabitants, it still reflects the necessity of a common framework capable of integrating all the technological advances developed separately. This paper combines some of the successful approaches carried out with the purpose of defining an openness framework that help making the development of Intelligent Virtual Agent based systems as easy as possible by the integration of these independent and different domains. The paper also presents a case study based on a virtual assistant helping a human and learning from him to use UML (Unified Modelling Language) for modelling different systems.
