Abstract :
Compared to live exercises, agent-based simulation is an inexpensive method to perform ‘what-if’ style experiments of emergency response. However, the lack of a user-friendly interface often prevents such software being widely adopted by practitioners. This paper describes the STORMI Scenario Designer, a program designed specifically to facilitate practitioners in setting up agent-based simulations of emergency scenarios.
