Meetings: Friday 1st November 2013

Not much work was done on the background for the project this week due to other coursework deadlines.

Went over techniques that could help with the flow of the document as it is felt that this could be better. This includes writing everything up and then going back at the end and adding in a couple sentences to each section to help with the flow. It may also be helpful to create a flow diagram for each section and follow this.

Also discussed the existing work chapter, rather than having a heading for each paper instead talk about the main points of the paper and use the paper as a reference. For example talk about parallel AI and some of the considerations that need to be taking into account as referenced in the paper by Timothy Johnson and John Rankin and then talk about a* pathfinding and reference the paper by Owen Mcnally. Rather than talking about the paper on collaborative diffusion in this section, discuss it in the section on diffusion.

The week 9 meeting is scheduled to be for Friday the 8th if the second marker is available. For this the draft of the background is to be sent to the second marker the day before and a 1 to 2 page report on the technical work needs to be written up.
