CROCADILE's crowd modeling: An investigation from social network analysis perspective

This paper proposes to investigate the existence of communications network within the CROCADILE system, an agent based distillation system for protesting crowd simulation and utilize it for understanding the collective behavior of the crowd agents. For it, we designed and implemented a model of communication networks and plugged in CROCADILE. To validate the proposal, we setup a scenario for the protesting crowd simulation. The simulation results indicated that CRODACILE served well as the platform for protesting crowd modeling simulation and the reliability of the network analysis tool for behavior analysis.
