Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of tools from RoboCup Rescue Environment for the phenomenon of fire spread based on simulations. It is intended to highlight the features of two tools: the Agent Simulation and the Swarm platform, simulating a fire spread in a particular city. Two simulations had been run using the Agent Simulation unit: one with a model that gives a fire spread that cannot be controlled by the agents and a second one using a model which the agents can control that fire spread, providing an environment and a framework for future studies about the connection between fire spread and collective behavior. Also, this paper shows a theoretical analysis of the Swarm platform and it suggests an integration among the tools presented herein.
