abstract = {The development of applications with intelligent virtual agents
(IVA) often comes with integration of multiple complex components.
In this article we present the Agents United Platform: an open
source platform that researchers and developers can use as a starting
point to setup their own multi-IVA applications.
The new platform provides developers with a set of integrated
components in a sense-remember-think-act architecture. Integrated
components are a sensor framework, memory component, Topic Selection Engine, interaction manager (Flipper), two dialogue execution
engines, and two behaviour realisers (ASAP and GRETA) of
which the agents can seamlessly interact with each other.
This article discusses the platform and its individual components.
It also highlights some of the novelties that arise from the integration
of components and elaborates on directions for future work.},
