= Overview =
Decision making package is being actively developed by Cogniteam [[http://wiki.ros.org/cogniteam-ros-pkg]].
The goal of this package is to implement light-weight, generic and extendable tools for writing, executing, debugging and monitoring decision making models through ROS standard tools.

= Installation =
Create your catkin workspace
{{{
#!bash
mkdir catkin_workspace
cd catkin_workspace
mkdir src
cd src
catkin_init_workspace
cd ..
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
}}}

Check out and compile decision_making packages
{{{
#!bash
cd src
git clone https://github.com/cogniteam/cognitao.git
cd ..
catkin_make
}}}

= How to use =
Navigate to your catkin workspace source directory (in our case .../catkin_workspace/src), and create new package:
{{{
catkin_create_pkg decision_making_tutorial roscpp decision_making decision_making_parser
}}}

Now you can create your decision making models. 
After creating your model, add the following line to the CMakeLists.txt file (just after target_link_libraries command):
{{{
decision_making_parsing(src/your_dm_model.cpp)
}}}
This command ensures that your model will be converted to xml and dot formats (for visualization)
