Abstract :
This paper proposes a system that supports effective evacuation from danger using a framework of Distributed Constraint Optimization. The main feature of this system is that it does not need a central server. The system uses the mobile devices (phones, PCs, etc.) of evacuees and performs distributed calculation while estimating the location of evacuees. By using this system, the evacuee can know the evacuation timing. This paper reports the experimental result which used multi-agent simulation about the systems efficiency.
