| 37 | ### A. Activities and findings |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | We demonstrated our Hive Mind prototype at GEC14 and GEC15. We have also delivered and posted a working version of our software and documentation. Our development and experimentation work is continuing as we both make the software more robust, usable, and extensible, as well as assess the efficacy of the software for a variety of circumstances. |
