  1. Species Migration Model Attack of the Invisible Retreating Cows Mark Jenne, Chandler Kent and Derek Hammer

  2. The Problem • We aimed to create a functional, relational and mathematical model of species interaction • The model was intended to have user defined environmental and species population disruptions that could easily be applied • The model was intended to be accessed through an intuitive interface using HTML, PHP, Javascript and MySQL

  3. The Solution

  4. Algorithm • For each region • For each species in that region • For each adjacent region • For each prey of the species • For each predator of the prey • calculateSurvivability • survivabilityIndex = ( foodAvailability + heatIndex ) / 2 • foodAvailability= prey – predator / species

  5. ER Diagram

  6. Relational Schema

  7. Constraints • Entity Integrity Constraints • All _ID Fields are auto incremented, unique and not null • Certain fields have a floor (e.g. Population, Sunlight, …) • Referential Constraints

  8. Challenges • Database Problems • MySQL • Data Problems • No data available • GUI Problems • PHP / MySQL Interaction • Google Maps API • Team Problems (Sriram) • Time • SVN • Experience

  9. Future Development • ASEE Conference • Optimize NextYear procedure • Beyond that • Develop better methods for determining a species probable migration pattern. • Accurately control range of migration for each species. • Include instinctual patterns of movement where necessary. • Define species to have more characteristics.

  10. Demonstration

  11. Questions • Well, are there any?
