Abstract
We present a new approach for crowd simulation in which a BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model is introduced that makes it possible for a character in a simulated environment to work adaptively. Our approach allows the character to realize realistic behavior by adapting its action with the sensed information in a changing environment. We implemented a demo system simulating the BDI model-based NPCs that extinguishes a forest fire with a 3D game engine, Source Engine. We measured the performance to evaluate the scalability and the bottleneck of the system.
