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.

The explosion of available data along with the need to integrate and utilize that data has led to a pressing interest in data integration techniques. In terms of Semantic Web technologies, Ontology Alignment is a key step in the process of integrating heterogeneous knowledge bases. In this paper, we present the Edge Confidence technique, a modification and improvement over the popular Similarity Flooding technique for Ontology Alignment.

Combat Management System training uses simulation of an overall tactical situation. This involves the real-time management of numerous and diverse entities to keep the simulation scenario consistent in a highly dynamic environment. To address this difficult problem, we propose an adaptive multi-agent system in which each entity is considered as a smart sensor/effector mobile. The autonomy and the dynamic behaviour offered to each entity leads the simulation to self-adapt to inevitable disturbances of the user. According to the cooperation paradigm, this approach also allows the mobiles to highlights a coherent global behaviour with mutual helping. Finally, the system shows the relevance of the Emergence Technologies in the elaboration of a new generation of sensors. This software is currently under development in GATES, a project of the DCNS company. Article published by EDP Sciences c EDP Sciences, ROADEF, SMAI 2010Résumé. L'entraînement sur les Systèmes de Gestion de Combat requiert la simulation de théâtres d'opération complets. Cela implique la gestion en temps réel d'entités nombreuses et de types variés afin de conserver le scénario de la simulation cohérent malgré un environnement très dynamique. Pour aborder ce problème difficile, nous proposons un système multi-agent adaptatif dans lequel chaque entité mobile est considérée comme un capteur/effecteur intelligent. L'autonomie et le comportement dynamique apportésà chaque entité amène la simulationà s'adapter automatiquement aux inévitables perturbations induites par l'utilisateur. Suivant le paradigme de la coopération, cette approche permetégalement aux mobiles de mettre enévidence un comportement global cohérent avec aide mutuelle. Au final, le système tendà montrer la pertinence des Technologies de l'Emergence dans l'élaboration d'une nouvelle génération de capteurs. Ce logiciel est actuellement en développement dans le cadre de GATES, un projet de la société DONS.
