Summary
This paper proposes a SCA-based model for crowd dynamics phenomena. SCA (Situated Cellular Agents) is a modeling and simulation approach based on Multi Agent Systems principles that is characterized by the representation of an explicit spatial structure. This paper is focused on the crowd aggregation phenomenon described by Elias Canetti. This work will provide a methodology example of translation of a social theory into a SCA-based computational model.
