Fast-Forwarding Crowd Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The processing time to simulate crowds for games or simulations is a real challenge. While the increasing power of processing capacity is a reality in the hardware industry, it also means that more agents, better rendering and most sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods can be used, so again the computational time is an issue. Despite the processing cost, in many cases the most interesting period of time in a game or simulation is far from the beginning or in a specific known period, but it is still necessary to simulate the whole time (spending time and processing capacity) to achieve the desired period of time. It would be useful to fast forward the time in order to see a specific period of time where simulation result could be more meaningful for analysis. This paper presents a method to provide time travel in Crowd Simulation. Based on crowd features, we compute the expected variation in velocities and apply that for time travel in crowd simulation.

In mobile crowd sensing networks data forwarding through opportunistic contacts between participants. Data is replicated to encountered participants. For optimizing data delivery ratio and reducing redundant data a lot of data forwarding schemes, which selectively replicate data to encountered participants through node’s data forwarding metric, are proposed. However most of them neglect a kind ...

Due to the increasing use of wireless communications, infrastructure-less networks such as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) should be highly considered. DTN is most suitable where there is an intermittent connection between communicating nodes such as wireless mobile ad hoc network nodes. In general, a message sending node in DTN copies the message and transmits it to nodes which it encounters. A...

Pedestrian crowd simulation explores crowd behaviors in virtual environments. It is extensively studied in many areas, such as safety and civil engineering, transportation, social science, entertainment industry and so on. As a common phenomenon in pedestrian crowds, grouping can play important roles in crowd behaviors. To achieve more realistic simulations, it is important to support group mod...
متن کاملIP Lookup using Two-level Indexing and B-Trees
Networks are expanding very fast and the number of clients is increasing dramatically, this causes the router forwarding table to become very large and present more demand on faster router operations. In this paper, we address the problem of packet forwarding in the routers aiming to increase the speed of address lookup and minimize the memory required for storing the forwarding table. We propo...
