I will present a brief overview of  the several areas of research that the

group I led has followed in the last few years, and then focus on 

several topics related to the subject of large crowds:
•Simulation and rendering in real time, using GPUs via GLSL.
• Image based rigging for crowds.
•Generation of Diversity and Level of Detail.
•Simulation in CUDA.
•Path Planning and Planning.
•Data driven simulation.
