This is particularly important for social simulation where agents represent people. We provide a general solution to this problem through infrastructure that allows the integration of state-of-the-art Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) and ABM systems. In this paper, we demonstrate how this infrastructure is being used to help emergency services in Australia plan for community evacuations.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2017/780","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/780","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/0780.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/780.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/bibtex/780","volume":{"slug":"2017","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2017","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/","year":2017,"location":"Melbourne, Australia","dates":"19-25 August 2017","editors":"Carles Sierra","isbn":"978-0-9992411-0-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2017"},"section":"Demos","track":"Demos","number":780,"pages":{"first":5249,"last":5251},"keywords":["Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Agent Theories and Models","Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Agent-Based Simulation and Emergence"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Braubach et al., 2005] Lars Braubach, Alexander Pokahr, and Winfried Lamersdorf.
