The Eighth Week: July 3 - July 7

During the eighth week, I didn't make very much progress on any of the code, mostly because I was out of town for the 4th of July. So the most interesting part of the eighth week was the end of the week when I attended the Game-Theoretic and Decision-Theoretic Agent workshop of the Fourth International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems, in Boston. I heard quite a few paper presentations, and I was able to have lunch with some of the IBM researchers that I had been sharing code with. The workshop was an excellent learning experience. The exposure to a variety of ideas and applications in people's research, as well as methods of presentation, was very inspiring.
