Abstract:In this paper, we propose an agent-based geo-simulation framework EKEMAS to assist human planners when planning under strong spatial constraints in a real large-scale space. The approach consists in drawing a parallel between the real environment (for example, a forest in fire) and the simulated environment based on GIS data. This virtual environment uses software agents which are aware of the space and equipped with advanced spatial reasoning capabilities. In addition, we suggest some enhancements for the Continual Planning approach. Our aim is to demonstrate how EKEMAS, when coupled with a continual planning approach and agent’s spatial reasoning capabilities, can assist human planners overcoming obstacles related to real world constraints: dynamic, uncertain, and spatially constrained environment. We illustrate this idea on the forest firefighting problem and we use MAGS as a simulation platform and Prometheus as a fire simulator. Finally, and since plans in the studied case (wildfire fighting) are mainly paths, we also propose a new approach based on agent geo-simulation in order to solve particular Pathfinding problems.
