Abstract
Recent disasters have shown the need to improve emergency plans and the importance of the communications while managing the emergency. These communications can be modeled as an information transmission problem in multiplex social networks in which agents interact through multiple interaction channels (layers). Here, we propose a hybrid model combining Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS), Network theory and Monte Carlo Simulation. We explore how the information spread from agents in an emergency plan taking into account several communication channels. We developed formal and simulation models of information dissemination in such emergency plans. We reuse a model architecture based on ABM, DEVS & Network Theory taking into account the behavior of the nodes in the network and the different transmission mechanisms in the layers. Finally, we execute a scenario to observe the communications using a DEVS network modeling platform powered by VLE.
