Emergency management is crucial to finding effective ways to minimize or even eliminate the damage of emergent events, but there still exists no quantified method to study the events by computation. Statistical algorithms, such as susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) models on epidemic transmission, ignore many details, thus always influencing the spread of emergent events. In this paper, we first propose an agent-based modeling and experiment framework to model the real world with the emergent events. The model of the real world is called artificial society, which is composed of agent model, agent activity model, and environment model, and it employs finite state automata (FSA) as its modeling paradigm. An artificial campus, on which a series of experiments are done to analyze the key factors of the acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) transmission, is then constructed to illustrate how our method works on the emergency management. Intervention measures and optional configurations (such as the isolation period) of them for the emergency management are also given through the evaluations in these experiments.

Natural Slopes

We report a series of experiments in which spatial judgments of the real world were compared with equivalent judgments of photographs of the real-world scenes. In experiment 1, subjects judged the angle from the horizontal of natural slopes. Judgments of slope correlated with true slope (r=0.88) but judgments were in general overestimates. Equivalent judgments of slope in photographs again correlated with true slope (r=0.91) but judgments tended to be overestimates for small angles (6°) and underestimates for larger angles (up to 25°). In experiment 2 slope judgments were made under laboratory conditions rather than in the natural world. The slopes, which were viewed monocularly, varied from 5° – 45°, and were either plain, or textured, or included perspective information (a rectangle drawn on the surface) or had both texture and perspective. Judgments were overestimates, but the correlation with true slope was high (r=0.97). Slopes with either texture or perspective were judged more accurately than plain slopes, but combining texture and perspective information conferred no further benefit. Judgment of the angle of the same slopes in photographs produced similar results, but the degree of overestimation (closer to the vertical) was greater than for the real slopes. In experiment 3, subjects either judged the distance of landmarks ranging from 200 m to 5000 m from the observation point, or judged distance to the landmarks in photographs. In both cases subjects' judgments were well described by a power function with exponents close to one. Although there are large individual differences, subjects' judgments of slope and distance are accurate to a scale factor, and photographs yield similar judgments to real scenes.

Indoor Navigation System

Due to the popularity of indoor positioning technology, indoor navigation applications have been deployed in large buildings, such as hospitals, airports, and train stations, to guide visitors to their destinations. A commonly-used user interface, shown on smartphones, is a 2D floor map with a route to the destination. The navigation instructions, such as turn left, turn right, and go straight, pop up on the screen when users come to an intersection. However, owing to the restrictions of a 2D navigation map, users may face mental pressure and get confused while they are making a connection between the real environment and the 2D navigation map before moving forward. For this reason, we developed ARBIN, an augmented reality-based navigation system, which posts navigation instructions on the screen of real-world environments for ease of use. Thus, there is no need for users to make a connection between the navigation instructions and the real-world environment. In order to evaluate the applicability of ARBIN, a series of experiments were conducted in the outpatient area of the National Taiwan University Hospital YunLin Branch, which is nearly 1800 m2, with 35 destinations and points of interests, such as a cardiovascular clinic, x-ray examination room, pharmacy, and so on. Four different types of smartphone were adopted for evaluation. Our results show that ARBIN can achieve 3 to 5 m accuracy, and provide users with correct instructions on their way to the destinations. ARBIN proved to be a practical solution for indoor navigation, especially for large buildings.

Real Time Strategy is one of the genres in computer games that have a characteristic form of war. The attractive and preferably game usually approach to the real world. Generally on RTS games do not have food distribution that makes the game less humane. On other models troops was returning from war, need to takes recovered, but when the condition that the player wants to war again, the energy not fully recovered, so need a method that the food supply target is precise. This experiment using Hierarchical Finite State Machine to design the behavior ofagents and refers to the scheme of supply chain management so that the behavior approach to the real world. Placement agent location coordinates using a scheme of supply chain approach to gravity location coordinates of the model in order to produce an optimal position so that the time and costs in the food distribution can be minimized. The results show the average percentage cost and time savings for 52.97% and 48.47%.Keywords: Supply Chain Management, HFSM, RTS Game AbstrakReal Time Strategy merupakan salah satu genre dalam permainan komputer yang memiliki ciri khas berupa permainan perang. Permainan yang menarik dan disukai biasanya hampir mendekati dunia nyata manusia. Umumnya pada game yang ada, tidak memiliki distribusi makanan, sehingga menjadikan game kurang manusiawi. Pada model lain pasukan yang kembali dari perang, membutuhkan waktu agar pulih, namun ketika kondisi dimana pemain ingin kembali berperang, energi pasukan belum sepenuhnya pulih, karena itu dibutuhkan suatu metode agar pasokan makanan bisa tepat sasaran. Percobaan ini menggunakan metode Hierarchical Finite State Machine untuk mendesain perilaku agen game RTS dan mengacu pada skema supply chain management agar perilaku agen dalam mendistribusikan makanan mendekati dunia nyata. Penempatan lokasi koordinat agen dirancang mengacu pada skema supply chain dengan pendekatan gravity location model agar menghasilkan posisi koordinat yang optimal sehingga waktu dan biaya dalam distribusi makanan bisa diminimalkan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan rata-rata penghematan biaya dan waktu masing – masing 52.97% dan 48.47 %.Kata kunci: Supply Chain Management, HFSM, RTS Game

Environment model is an important component of an artificial society. To level up the resolution of residence-building environment models in artificial Beijing, we divide residential buildings in Beijing into two categories, which are noncommunity residential buildings and community residential buildings, and statistically analyze the numbers of floors and areas of the real residential buildings. In this paper, we have exhibited the distribution of numbers of floors in noncommunity residential buildings and community residential buildings. Furthermore, we analyze the distribution of areas of noncommunity residential buildings and residence-use proportions of community zones by Nonlinear Regression. Results indicate that areas of noncommunity residential buildings in Beijing obey the log-normal distribution and residence-use proportions of community zones obey normal distribution. According to the statistical models, the virtual residential buildings in artificial Beijing can be endowed with rational attribute values.

This paper addresses the application of a computational theory and related techniques for studying emergency management in social computing. We propose a novel software framework called KD-ACP. The framework provides a systematic and automatic platform for scientists to study the emergency management problems in three aspects: modelling the society in emergency scenario as the artificial society; investigating the emergency management problems by the repeat computational experiments; parallel execution between artificial society and the actual society managed by the decisions from computational experiments. The software framework is composed of a series of tools. These tools are categorized into three parts corresponding to “A,” “C,” and “P,” respectively. Using H1N1 epidemic in Beijing city as the case study, the modelling and data generating of Beijing city, experiments with settings of H1N1, and intervention measures and parallel execution by situation tool are implemented by KD-ACP. The results output by the software framework shows that the emergency response decisions can be tested to find a more optimal one through the computational experiments. In the end, the advantages of the KD-ACP and the future work are summarized in the conclusion.
