In this paper, we propose virtual agent vision perception techniques to approximate realistic
vision while maintaining low execution time. We discuss virtual agent vision in large scale …

In order to create realistic simulations, virtual agents need to learn about their environment
through perception. To date, most multi-agent simulation systems that implement some form …

Crowds of pedestrians are complex entities from different points of view, starting from the
difficulty in providing a satisfactory definition of the term “crowd”.“(Too) many people in (too) …

We adapt a scalable layered intelligence technique from the game industry, for agent-based
crowd simulation. We extend this approach for planned movements, pursuance of …

Abstract Situated Cellular Agent (SCA) is a modeling and computational tool based on multi-
agent systems principles whose roots are on cellular automata. In this chapter, after an …

Among the steady progression of disasters worldwide lie the numerous instances of fatality
where crowds gather. The scale of these is particularly high at the Hajj in Makkah, where …

In this paper we present a self-organizing model for open virtual environments in multi-agent
based simulation systems. Open environments are inaccessible, non-deterministic, dynamic …

Ce travail présente une nouvelle approche de modélisation des phénomènes de panique
dans le cadre de crise. L'approche proposée vise à couvrir la dimension cognitive …

With the advent of multi-core and even many-core processors, massively parallel computing
processing has presented a trend of low cost and popularity. It provides new technical …

Agent based computational approach can be fruitfully applied to study the behavior and
dynamics of crowds as resulting from the interactive behavior of huge numbers of …
