Objective
The framework of the project is "artificial life control in mixed-societies". The project will:
study formal behaviour protocol models for mixed-societies;
develop tools for using these models; provide a general methodology towards the control of mixed-societies;
validate the concepts by applying the tools to the control of laboratory experiments and to agriculture environments. The framework of the project is "artificial life control in mixed-societies". The project will: study formal behaviour protocol models for mixed-societies;

OBJECTIVES
(1) LEURRE will develop a formal behavioural model for mixed-societies and study its properties. LEURRE will formalise the behaviours in a formal language and provide a library of tools for dealing with them;
(2) LEURRE will show that this behavioural model gives an understanding of the capabilities of animal groups. Experiments on "real" mixed-societies will prove this point;
(3) In LEURRE we will show that it is feasible to change the global behaviour of a mixed-society and a demonstration will be provided on our "real" mixed-societies;
(4) LEURRE will propose guidelines towards some general methodology for performing such control on mixed-societies;
(5) Applications to agriculture will be provided. This will enhance the relevance of our results to the quality of live and the management of living resources.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
LEURRE will be carried on in five workpackages:
(1) Specification of a formal behaviour model which is divided into several tasks: definition of the behaviour model; definition of the generic elementary behaviours, their algorithms, their constraints; implementation of these behaviours in insect-like micro-robots (insbots); specification of a formal language for the description of these generic behaviours and of the corresponding algorithms and constraints; definition of a interface between a behaviour database and simulation languages; definition of a general methodology;
(2) A laboratory realisation of a mixed-society of cockroaches and insbots which is divided into several tasks: simulations; control; validation of the formal model;
(3) Real-life applications in agriculture. There are two additional work packages:
(4) Demonstration and dissemination and
(5) Management.
The work will be performed by a team of specialists in the field of ethnology and artificial systems.
