Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of the RoboCup Rescue Environment tools for simulations based on the firespread phenomenon. Its main purpose is highlighting the features of two simulation tools: the Agent Simulation and the Swarm platform, simulating a fire spread in a particular city. Two simulations had been run using the Agent Simulation unit: one with a model that gives a fire spread that cannot be controlled by the agents and a second one using a model which the agents can control that fire spread, providing an environment and a framework for future studies about the connection between fire spread and collective behavior. Also, this paper shows a theoretical analysis of the Swarm platform and it suggests integration among the tools presented herein.
