Cellular Automata (CA) models have been a good source of scientific knowledge to study crowds and pedestrian dynamics. It is an intrinsic multidisciplinary research area, and the current literature involving CA and agent-based models is disseminated in a vast range of conferences proceedings, journals and books belonging to different disciplines, from physics to urban planning, fire engineering and psychology.
As in its previous editions, the goal of this Third International Workshop is to enable a meeting for researchers coming from different disciplines and using Cellular Automata and CA-based computational models for the modeling and simulation of the dynamical behavior of the crowds, pedestrians, societies and worlds. The workshop is open also to all issues related to the adoption of computer simulation as a tool for crowds’ studies, compared to CA approach. Application demonstrations and domain analyses are welcome. Overviews and states-of-the-arts about social and psychological aspects to be modelled following CA and Agent-based approaches of crowds are also welcome.
