                         high-level behavioral interface based on smart objects paradigm as 
                         support for a virtual agent to perform autonomous tasks. In our 
                         model, virtual {"}smart objects{"} encapsulate information about 
                         possible high-level interactions between the agent and its 
                         environment, including sub-tasks defined by scripts that the agent 
                         can perform. We use the information provided by low-level sensing 
                         mechanisms to construct a set of local, perceptual features, with 
                         which to categorise at run-time possible target objects. Once 
                         objects are activated, based on their interactivity information 
                         and on the current task plan, the agent can reparametrize its 
                         behavior, according to its mission goal defined in a global plan 
                         script. A challenging problem solved here is the construction 
                         (abstraction) of the mechanism to link individual perceptions to 
                         actions. As a practical result virtual agents are capable of 
                         acting with more atonomy, enhancing their performance.",
