This project is based on massim simulator project

Notes:

• Disaster Simulation System

• Interaction between the Agents and the Simulator.

• Agent it's a being that recognizes its location and can decide upon that information.

• The development of Agents isn't part of the scope.

• Our mission is to develop the Simulator so than the agents can use it

• There is no worry about which language the agents are made of.

• Multi-Agent Programing Contest - MAPC (simulator example)

• The Agents would be autonomous robots and humans.

• The simulation takes place in pre-defined steps.

• The Agents interact with the Simulator through a protocol.

• Stochastic simulation - chances of an event to happen.

• Graphic interface (part of a city)

• Generation of data - logs of data generated in the graphical interface (decoupling * of the graphical interface).

• Definitions: Perceptions, Actions, Events.

• Important:

  • The simulation should be replicable;
  • Simulation Report - output log;
  • Documentation and code must be in English.

• AGENTS types (documentate characteristics):

• Fixed Agents:

  • battery;
  • velocity;
  • physical storage;
  • virtual storage (memory (photos));
  • locomotion (water, road, air);
  • dextery;
  • resources (water catcher, camera).

• Variable agents (social assets) ⇒ do not start the simulation (they are called as volunteers):

  • velocity;
  • dextery (cooking);
  • resources;
  • energy (fatigue) -> can only help for a while.

• Actions of AGENTS (documentate)*:

  • Locomotion (in which it must respect the environment, latitude and longitude - command center);
  • Photographing (space check);
  • Analyze photo (task: find victims - chance of finding a victim on a spot for photo analysis);
  • Collect water samples (task: to collect - occupies physical space);
  • Recharge battery;
  • Deliver physical item;
  • Deliver virtual item;
  • Rescue Victim (if the agent can rescue after analyzing the photo - verify agent conditions);
  • Search for social assets (search for volunteers within a specific radius - server will open a new connection and look for a new agent .. simulator expects another connection from another agent);
  • Requesting Social Asset.

• Events - Floods (documentate features)*:

  • Duration range
  • Flood form (rectangle, circle)

• Related Events

  • Photography

    • Number of flood photography events
    • Photo size (virtual space)
    • Find a victim
      • Chance of a photograph to have related victims

  • Wather Sample

    • Number of water collection events by flood
    • Sample size (physical space)

  • Victims (generate, but still hidden) (within the flood area)

    • Chance of a victim arising with location revealed during flood
    • Number of victims per event
    • Weight of the victim
    • Lifetime
