ASAP: Agent-Based Simulator for Amusement Park

In this paper, an innovative application of scheduling methodology is advocated for the emerging service, which is named “social coordination” in the ubiquitous information environments. The author explains the concept of “ubiquitous scheduling” that eludes congestions in the society by scheduling people’s activities efficiently and rationally. To evaluate effectiveness of the concept, a multi-agent scheduler for an amusement park problem is implemented, which coordinates the demands for rides by tens of thousand people and makes suggestions as to when they should visit attractions in the amusement park to avoid waiting in a long line.
