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.
