title = "An event modeling language (EML) to simulate use patterns in built environments",
abstract = "In this paper we contribute a method to model and simulate use patterns in built environments. The aim is to assist architects in analyzing the implications of design decisions as far as human behavior is concerned, prior to committing to a building construction. Use patterns are modeled using Events, computational entities that encapsulate descriptions of the dynamic unfolding of human behavior patterns in a designed space, over time. An Event Modeling Language (EML) allows modeling Events in a modular and hierarchical fashion. Event building blocks can be assembled into larger compositions describing context-dependent behaviors at increasing level of detail. We demonstrate the approach in a hospital domain, where multiple use patterns involving collaborative activities unfold in space, while adapting to the dynamic conditions of the spatial and social environment.",
