Description
Barron Associates proposes to develop probabilistic extensions for the model-based programming environment Simulink, developed by The MathWorks, Inc. These extensions will allow developers to model random variables, vectors, and matrices, as well as both discrete and continuous random processes as first-class objects within the Simulink language. Barron Associates will also develop extensions that developers can use to process those random quantities, including arithmetic functions, differential and integral calculus operators, and statistical decision theory/machine learning algorithms. These capabilities will be demonstrated in the context of coordinating multiple autonomous UAVs and will be commercialized in the form of a Simulink block library that will bring probabilistic programming constructs to a large and commercially active model-based development community.
