= Multi Agent System (MAS) =

With r3159 a Multi Agent System (MAS) has been added to PALM. It can be used to simulate the movement of pedestrians ('agents').\\
This documentation contains several sections:
 [wiki:doc/app/agtpar INPUT]:: List of all namelist parameters that can be used to steer the MAS\\\\
 [browser:palm/trunk/EXAMPLES/agents/ EXAMPLE SETUPS]:: Files to carry out example runs using the MAS\\\\
 [wiki:doc/tec/mas/agent_preprocessing VISIBILITY GRAPH]:: Description of the **manditory** preprocessing step and its usage\\\\
 [wiki:doc/tec/mas/agent_pathfinding A* - PATHFINDING]:: Description of the navigation mechanism used by agents to find their way through obstacles towards their target\\\\
 [wiki:doc/tec/mas/social_forces SOCIAL FORCES]:: Core of the MAS, governing the movement of agents and their collision avoidance\\\\
 [wiki:doc/tec/mas/output OUTPUT]:: Description of all output given by the MAS: files, messages and CPU measures\\\\
