1 Characteristics of the models

  1.1 Each person (p) is represented in the model individually.

  1.2 The abilities of each person are determined by a set of parameters, some of which are probabilistic.

  1.3 The movement of each person is recorded.

  1.4 The parameters should vary among the individuals of the population.

  1.5 The basic rules for personal decisions and movements are the same for everyone, described by a universal algorithm.

  1.6 The time difference between the actions of any two persons in the simulation should be not more than one second of simulated time, e.g. all persons proceed with their action in one second (a parallel update is necessary).
