Submitted revised version of FLAIRS paper including corrections and improved experimentation.
Finished world component models and looked into lighting.
Implemented fine grain decompositions(sub 1 spacial unit object size) and layed ground work for variable growth step size
Generated navigation mesh for test world.

Currently Working on:
Finishing Proposal document
—Introduction is getting close to done
—Related works is coming along I had to do an extended literature search from a computational geometry perspective and found a large number of additional sources to look at.
Finish wiring interface for DEACCON
Geometric combining
3D validation and verification of results.
Generate ramp structure for Fritz to use to create more interesting levels.

Nailed down design for FLAIRS paper motivation and experiment.

Constructed Several Block World components.

Implemented C++ version of dynamic rebuilding of decomps (in progress eta today)

Expanding visualizer to show agent movement and discovery of block world components, also enhanced visualizer with better exception handling.

Finished some typed proofs for Dr. Barnes – still have a few chapters to type up.

Planned Work

Complete and Run FLAIRs paper experiment target Wednesday

Finalize dissertation committee and submit first set of paperwork – target Wednesday

Filled in Dissertation outline – target required for finalization of committee members.

More proofs for Dr. B

Draft of FLAIRS paper target Friday

Interface work on DEACCON – target as time permits

DEACCON work – interface more granular loading of models features for FLAIRS papers
Committee and PhD proposal setup targeting week of December 7th

FLAIRS paper
Hyp: It is possible to discover a navigation mesh using information gained from one or more agents moving through the world.

Applications: Simulations of Search and rescue in unknown environments, more “fair” agents for games and simulations, others

Approach: Crib some of the D* working with unknown areas and combine that with dynamic rebuilding of decomps. Assume world is empty then rebuild when this assumption is invalidated.

Validation and Experimentation: Compare the error levels present in a agents generated decomposition (incorrectly classified space, missed gateways, average path lengths) to the “optimum decomposition” in a time lapsed manor. How quickly does agent discovery converge on optimum decomp?

Worked on Behavior Shop.

Screen 2 is now done except for a few minor tweaks.

Assisted on fixing bugs in FI3Rst.

Heavy Engineering on implementation of behaviorshop1.0

View is completed or near final for every screen of BehaviorShop.

Model is also finished.

Control is done on screen 1, mostly done on screen 3, and I will be finishing it on screen 2 today.

Sci:

Some work on journal paper for metrics work

Started thinking about how to design, present, implement, and most importantly evaluate multilevel hierarchical ASFV 2D/3D.
