Abstract

Constructing accurate animal behavior models often requires close interaction between a diverse group of domain experts in fields such as biology, ecology, modeling and simulation. To ease the effort and time involved in creating these models, we propose on-the-fly automatic behavior model generation.

Automatic code generation is a well-established software engineering technique. It has proven valuable in GUI generation, web service specification and in multi-agent systems design. But while these techniques have served programmers well, there is still a lack of tools that are targeted towards domain specialists utilizing modeling and simulation frameworks.

To address this deficiency we present a tool that leverages robot control architectures to provide automatic code generation of animal models using an intermediate language that is readable and writable by both human and machine.
