Dear Friends,
Here's our team's proposal for 2004 competitions.
Our proposal consists of several parts. In this
e-mail I have only attached proposals regarding
the simulation environment.

-----------------------------------------------------
a) Simulation Environment
a-1) In a real situation, when an earthquake occurs,
it is usually followed by a chain of [often
weaker] earthquakes. This chain also causes
building collapse and road blockades. We propose
that the blockades and collapse simulators support
this feature for 2004 competitions.
a-2) Kernel should generate random IDs for units in
each simulation. This means that the ID generated
for a building in each simulation should be
different from the next one.
a-3) Agents should be able to specify exactly to which
part of a road do they want to move. In other
words agents should be able to set PositionExtra
property for a target road.
a-4) Multiple Nozzles: There are two points about the
concept of multiple nozzles :
1) Is there any limits on sum of the amount of water
in an agent's nozzles in a cycle?
- Our proposal is: Yes! There should be such a
limit. But how much? We think that if it is
possible for an agent to have 'n' nozzles of
power 'p', then it should also be possible
for it to have a single nozzle of power 'n*p'.
It means that this limit should exactly be
equal to the limit for a single nozzle. In the
real world, if we consider a tank which
contains water and the robot applies a certain
amount of pressure to the water from inside the
tank to pour a certain amount of water outside
the tank, then two facts are obvious :
) First, there is a limit on the amount of
pressure that the robot can apply to water
from inside to pour it out and the amount
of water pouring outside is proportional
to amount of this pressure.
) If we have a tank with 2 holes then because
of the fact #1, maximum sum of poured water
from these 2 holes is not more than the
maximum sum of poured water from a single
hole.
And our proposal for the amount of water is
1000 [m^3/cycle](Like previous years).
2) Is there any limits on the number of nozzles?
- Our proposal is: No! As long as the first
limit is applied, there is no need to limit
the number of nozzles.
