In line with cloud computing emergence as the dominant enterprise computing paradigm,
our conceptualization of the cloud computing reference architecture and service construction …

Modeling pedestrian dynamics and their implementation in a computer are challenging and
important issues in the knowledge areas of transportation and computer simulation. The aim …

In this paper, we present a formal approach to reciprocal n-body collision avoidance, where
multiple mobile robots need to avoid collisions with each other while moving in a common …

In this paper, we propose a new concept-the" Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle"-for real-time
multi-agent navigation. We consider the case in which each agent navigates independently …

Since the first edition of this book in 2007, there has been a fast evolution in Virtual Reality.
Palmer Luckey designed a prototype for what would become the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality …

In the everyday exercise of controlling their locomotion, humans rely on their optic flow of the
perceived environment to achieve collision-free navigation. In crowds, in spite of the …

Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed
extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film …

Crowd simulation techniques have frequently been used to animate a large group of virtual
humans in computer graphics applications. We present a data-driven method of simulating a …

As a collective and highly dynamic social group, the human crowd is a fascinating
phenomenon that has been frequently studied by experts from various areas. Recently …

When simulating large crowds, it is inevitable that the models and motions of many virtual
characters will be cloned. However, the perceptual impact of this trade-off has never been …
