Crowd Modeling in Military Simulations: Requirements Analysis, Survey, and Design Study

Abstract

This report provides a comprehensive requirements analysis, literature survey, and engineering design study of crowd modeling in military simulations. This report has five main sections. An introductory section is followed by a brief overview of the research effort, with descriptions of the project motivation, history, and methodology. An analysis of requirements for crowd modeling in military simulations is detailed. Following that, a survey of the state of the art in psychological and computational models of crowd behavior is presented. Then a design study of a crowd simulation federate, which is based in part on a set of implementation experiments, is reported. Finally, a statement of findings and recommended research concludes the primary content of the report. The appendices of this report include a list of references, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a partial list of sources for the requirements analysis process, and brief biographies of the authors.
