Visualisation of Collective Systems with Sequit and Sibilla

The analysis of Collective Systems involves the usage of several tools and techniques for addressing the different intricacies typical of this kind of system. One of these techniques is the simulation that, starting from a quantitative model of the system under analysis, is used to generate a set of possible computations. Typically, these data are used to perform statistical analyses and to infer performance measure. However, being able to represent results in an effective manner is crucial to help users to understand the meaning of collected simulation data. In this paper, we introduce Sequit a tool that, integrated with Sibilla, permits rendering in a 2D or 3D environment the evolution of a set of agents. A simple example, based on a flock behaviour, is used in the paper to show the use of Sibilla and Sequit.
