Simulated hornet attack on crowd in a virtual environment

Abstract

Simulation of natural phenomena in a virtual environment is an intriguing and mathematically complex open research area. The main contribution of this research is to simulate the behaviour of hornets by exploring the dynamic behaviour of swarm of simple agents. Swarm has been formed with collection of simple agents where each agents acts relatively independent from other agents in the environment. Here the swarm intelligence is gained through Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) algorithm combining with principles of flocking behaviour which can be used in entertainment industry as well as in military applications.
