Applying Multi-Agent Approach for the Disaster Rescue Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the disaster rescue process, how to reduce disaster losses as far as possible has become an important research topic. Based on MAS and complex adaptive system theory, this paper constructs a multi-agent model which contains rescue agents and victim agents. Through the full analysis of behaviors and influencing factors during the process, this model includes judgments of the rescue members, behaviors among victims and the impact of relief supplies.
