La géo-simulation multi-agent. Un support pour la planification dans un environnement réel

In this paper, we propose an agent-based geo-simulation approach to assist planners when planning under strong spatial constraints in a real space. The approach consists in drawing a parallel between the real environment (for example, a forest on fire) and the simulated environment based on georeferenced data. This virtual environment uses software agents which are aware of the space and equipped with advanced cognitive capabilities, in order to support planning and coordination of operations within the real terrain. Since plans in the studied case (forest fires) are mainly paths, we also propose a new approach based on agent geosimulation in order to solve particular Pathfinding problems. Finally, when applying our approach to firefighting, we use MAGS as a simulation platform and Prometheus as a fire simulator.
