Hi Everyone,

We here in Canada are in the final few months of a research effort on Cro=
wd
Behaviour and Crowd Control Modelling. We have taken two parallel approa=
ches =96
SD and Agent Based Modelling. We have learned a lot and now want to fini=
sh up
the work by linking the two models together. The SD approach is primaril=
y based
on observable behaviour whereas the Agent Based Model is primarily focuse=
d on
the
dynamics related to social identity. We were wondering if anyone has adv=
ice for
us or has done similar work in other fields linking SD and Agent Based Me=
thods.=20
We would like to learn from you since we are coming quickly to the end of=
our
research program.

Thanks in advance,
