AbstractThe simulation of different kinds of human behaviour has been used in many different contexts for years. The areas of interest range from simulation of crises to traffic planning to the simulation of virtual humans in interactive applications such as computer games.

The purpose of this project is to clarify what is needed to simulate groups of people by using autonomous agents. This is achieved by implementing a simple system, which functions as the prototype for a general simulation system. A description of such a general simulation system is developed based on the documentation and analysis of the prototype.
