This project presents a functional, relational, and mathematical model to analyze species interactions, focusing on migration patterns. The model incorporates user-defined environmental and species population disruptions, easily accessible through an intuitive interface built with HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL. It calculates survivability indices for species across different regions based on food availability and environmental factors. The project also addresses various challenges, including data availability, database issues, and the need for improved methods to determine migration patterns and instincts. Future development aims to refine these models for more accurate predictions.

Species Migration Model Attack of the Invisible Retreating Cows Mark Jenne, Chandler Kent and Derek Hammer
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
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
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
Challenges • Database Problems • MySQL • Data Problems • No data available • GUI Problems • PHP / MySQL Interaction • Google Maps API • Team Problems (Sriram) • Time • SVN • Experience
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.
Questions • Well, are there any?
