We are investigating algorithms for automatically tracking and modeling the behavior of multiagent systems. We have selected social insects as research subjects because they can be observed in a laboratory environment and they provide a rich source of data for testing our algorithms.

Our goals are

• new multiagent science: our observing technologies will provide a wealth of data for testing and developing multiagent observation algorithms. We envision a multiagent system (multiple cameras and computers) observing multiagent systems (insects, people).

• new biological science: we can use the technologies developed in our lab to substantially advance the state of knowledge of social insect behavior.
