      abstract     = {The behavior of autonomous characters in virtual
                      environments is usually described via a complex
                      deterministic state machine or a behavior tree driven by the
                      current state of the system. This is very useful when a high
                      level of control over a character is required, but it
                      arguably does have a negative effect on the illusion of
                      realism in the decision making process of the character.
                      This is particularly prominent in cases where the character
                      only exhibits idle behavior, e.g. a student sitting in a
                      classroom. In this article we propose the use of discrete
                      time Markov chains as the model for defining realistic
                      non-interactive behavior and describe how to compute
                      decision probabilities to normalize by the length of
                      individual actions. Lastly, we argue that those allow for
                      more precise calibration and adjustment for the idle
                      behavior model then the models being currently employed in
                      practice.},
