FEATURED SPEAKERS:
Mubbasir Kapadia, Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department, Rutgers University
Title: Crowds, Stories, and Games
This talk will present a birds eye eye of our recent efforts in the following three research areas:
Modeling, Validating, and Optimizing Crowd Dynamics: We are developing agent-centric models for simulating crowd dynamics that challenge foundational assumptions in crowd modeling, while providing solutions that are validated using comparisons to real data, and virtual reality experiments. These solutions can be used to optimize the behavioral dynamics of real crowds and model the relationships between crowd flow and environment features, with applications in predictive analytics and crowd management, and environment layout design.
Computational Narrative: We are developing intelligent, accessible, visual interfaces to allow anyone to create their own digital stories and exploring solutions to transform traditionally passive experiences into immersive interactive experiences while preserving the original story.
Serious Games: I will briefly showcase some of our recent efforts in the use of games to study collective human behavior.
