	Crowd Dynamics Ltd - Advantages and disadvantages of computer simulation
		Building a crowd simulation is a complex exercise in applied modelling and it is important that the modeller understands the differences between a simulation, an animation and a model.
		Show, by simulation, that the model is capable of generating the observed behaviour (as an emergent phenomenon).
		The simulation process must be conducted for many periods in order to establish the long-run averages for the decision alternatives or other changes in the system.

	Jager, Popping and van de Sande: Clustering and Fighting in Two-party Crowds
		The spatial crowd simulations that have been developed are usually based on identical actors that are stable with respect to their behavioural rules.
		Conclusions for the Multi-agent Simulation of Crowd Behaviour
		Especially when the simulation model and the empirical data are matching on some critical macro-level variables (e.g., number of agents, number of parties and symmetrical distribution), it may become possible to test various rules at the micro level by comparing the resulting macro level dynamics against empirical data.

	Weblog
		A weblog which tries to understand simulation: what it means to different disciplines, how and why it is done, how the skills and technologies involved can be best used to everyone's advantage, and how it may shape our 'real' world.
		I read Cliffski's Mumblings regularly because Cliff is a good example of a solitary developer struggling against the giants like EA and Ubisoft, and successfully carving a niche for himself, by making games that people enjoy even if they don't have 2 million lines of code.
		Having just come back from a short visit to Saudi Arabia, I was intrigued by a simulation of crowd movements in Mecca during the Haj, conducted with software from the Swiss company Savannah Simulations.

	Crowd Control Simulation in Java Based Environment
		Crowd control can be applied to many different areas, such as police operations [10], shopping center design, public park re-organization [5], rail station re-engineering [3] and epidemic diffusion.
		Particle dynamics: In this approach, each entity in the crowd is represented as a single particle interacting with the other particles by some predetermined attraction/reaction and collisions [6] rules.
		Unfortunately, analyzing crowd behavior using particle dynamics in a complex environment such as a large stadium (where the combination of the size of the crowd and the interactions of individuals entities in the crowd are computationally expensive) is still difficult.

		The Crowd Simulation Framework is a Diploma Project of the University of Applied Sciences Biel/Bienne (CH).
		A Massive Crowd Simulation is a computer simulation of a crowd of agents.
		The user of the Crowd Simulation Framework has always to remember that a simulation is only an approximation of the reality.

		Crowd simulation is an emergent problem nowadays, because of a growing interest on behalf of industries and certain organisations.
		We propose, in our model, to simulate crowd motion by association of a multitude of individual behaviours, and to analyze results in order to extrapolate a levels of services classification.
		That is made possible thanks to a tool for crowd simulation allowing data extrapolation which will then be synthesized in levels of services.

		Crowds of non-combatants play a large and increasingly recognized role in modern military operations, and often create substantial difficulties for the combatant forces involved.
		To address this problem we are developing a crowd simulation capable of generating crowds of non-combatant civilians that exhibit a variety of realistic individual and group behaviors at differing levels of fidelity.
		The crowd simulation is interoperable with existing military simulations using a standard distributed simulation architecture.

	Crowd Simulation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Crowd simulation for virtual environments offers many challenges centered on the trade-offs between rich behavior, control and computational cost.
		In this paper we present a new approach to controlling the behavior of agents in a crowd.
		Our method is scalable in the sense that increasingly complex crowd behaviors can be created without a corresponding increase in the complexity of the agents.

		The behaviour was being simulated on a dual-Cell blade, a client was rendering the scene with a GPU.
		The single field you see in the video or the photo was one of four that the blade is simulating at one time (presumably each has circa 4,000 chickens).

	DESCRIPTION FOR THE EGRESS SIMULATION PROTOTYPE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		We design and implement this prototype following the multi-agent simulation paradigm - each human is modeled as an independent agent equipped with sensors, mind (i.e., decision-making rules), and actuators (i.e., the faculties of being able to walk, run, stop, side-shift and turn).
		Finally, based on their own assumptions about a crowd, users are able to simulate the movement of a crowd under the influence of a certain type or a combination of different types of behaviors, such as random, competitive, queuing or herding behaviors.
		The Crowd Dialog appears next to the Visualizer when the system starts, and it provides a set of functions that allow users to interact with the simulation in real time.

	pedsim - a pedestrian crowd simulation
		Note that the simulation presented here is very similar to the one used in our academical project, but was basically rewritten from scratch.
		The simulation core takes care of the physical aspects of the system, such as interaction of the agents with the environment or with each other.
		The project uses simulated people (agents) who ''see'' the landscape as surrogates for real people, in order to test their reactions against the simulated scenarios.

		Neat idea...I got stuck into a crowd simulation script for a bit, until I found out how difficult it was to make one object to track another, anyway...It's bloody hard work, AI not withstanding
		Once you can make two groups of dots swarm across the screen and engage each other in realistic battle formations, then you start putting in the mocap, the hand-to-hand combat simulation, etc. Just the other day I was wondering if WETA could be persuaded to release Massive as open source.
		I, for one, is really interested in crowd simulation, behavioral motion and boids, and I think it would be a good idea to maybe gather a team together and establish some code base and such.
