A chapter in Smarter as the New Urban Agenda, 2016, pp 149-170 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The concept of smart cities is one that relies on the use of new information and communication technologies in order to improve services that cities provide to their citizens. The resilience of a city is one of the services that it can provide to its citizens. Resilience is defined as its capacity to continue working normally by serving citizens when extreme events (EEs) occur. This chapter will propose a new framework based on multi-agent systems to help cities build simulation scenarios for rescuing citizens in the case of an EE. The main contribution of the framework will be a set of models, at different levels of abstraction, to reflect the organizational structure and policies within the simulation, which involves the integration of truly dynamic dimensions of this organization. The framework will also propose methods to go from one model to another (conceptual to simulation). This framework can be applied in different domains, such as smart cities, earthquakes and building fires.
