Abstract

In this paper we emphasize the strengths and weaknesses of human planning and especially within a geographic space. We propose a multi-agent simulation approach in order to overcome some of these limitations while reasoning about a large-scale geographic space. A cognitive complementarity between software agents and human beings emerges from this approach. An illustration on wildfire fighting is presented.
