+}}} 
+We have also engaged with Steven Schwab and made initial outreach ot Adam Slagell (NCSA) and Heidi Picher-Dempsey (BBN/GPO).  We will continue discussions with the former and schedule expanded conversations with the latter within the next several weeks.

+== II. Description of work performed during last quarter ==
+
+=== A. Activities and findings ===
+
+Significant progress was made on mapping the Hive Mind concept to the details of ProtoGENI and DETER.  We are continuing to refine the implementation of the model on the ProtoGENI & DETER testbeds, following commentary from BBN and U of Utah and our initial experiments.  
+
+We have a functional Python prototype of our digital ants work and have begun a graphical view/demo on top of the Python prototype to show an operator how the digital ants are functioning.
+
+We demonstrated a !NetLogo version of the concept at GEC9 and anticipate a demo of the Python ("real") version at GEC11.
+
+We also established a project web site: http://hivemind.cs.ucdavis.edu/
