This research was done by Purav Shah under Dr. Prasad for his master's thesis. This research presents a bio-inspired approach to modeling and simulation of unknown and uncertain dynamical systems. It is clear that observing flocks of birds, schools of fish, flight of a hummingbird, and so on, including perhaps observing terrorist networks and militant insurgency, yield valuable state information that allows examining more>>
