TOWARDS THE AGENTIFICATION OF A VIRTUAL SITUATED ENVIRONMENT FOR URBAN CROWD SIMULATION

Research works in urban and crowd simulation tend to study systems, which are more and more complex, large and realistic. In such a case, the environment of the simulated system is a key concept which represents and manages the virtual world in which the agents are living. This paper starts from a modular object-oriented environment model, JaSIM, and proposes to agentify its components to enhance the modularity of the environmental model and its execution performances
