Abstract: This paper aims to present a Cell-DEVS model for emergency evacuation systems, which behave uncertainty and are intricately driven by the social factors. The model introduces social interaction factors such as familiarity degrees, individual vision, communication and conduction, and velocity zones as the state variables, describing the relationship between the evacuees and environment, as well as the interactions with each other. The algorithm optimization enhances reality of simulation. The RESTful CD++ is applied as middleware to execute remote simulation. The results confirm the existence of social interaction. This work benefits to the architecture design, evacuation planning and public safety management.

Key words: emergency evacuation, social interaction, Cell-DEVS model, RESTful remotely simulation
