Abstract
We introduce two Japanese national projects on disaster mitigation which seriously involve massively multi-agent simulation system. We describe a simulation integration architecture that combines various natural phenomena and huge number of human activities to estimate and predict a complicated disaster progress and countermeasures effects. We describe the state of the art of our system design and implementation related mainly about multi-agent programming. Finally, we discuss about the rationale of massively multi-agent simulation for the purpose of disaster mitigation.
