Dissertation and application

I've been continuing to work on the first draft of my dissertation. I've managed to get a very large chunk of the Literature review out of the way and have finished a new introduction which is a combination of the proposal introducting, plus more up to date and more relevant information.

Hopefully I will have the first draft of the introduction and literature review finished by a week tomorrow (which will be the 26th Feb)

AS for the application, I now have acceptable boundaries within the MADTFDA. I am able to check if the data fed into the graphs is under specific thresholds (such as high population but low resources or vice versa) and also to get the threshold with the highest priority returned.

Next on the list is to actually make the manager start to alter variables to help restore the system. To do this, the variables with the largest impact will have to be found. Once this has been set up for the herbivore population, it can then be applied to the carnivores and after that the omnivores.

Further enhancements to the flocking algorithm and environment code will also have to be made, such as over grazing on areas of vegetation causing it to take longer to grow back
