FINAL PAPER + TECH. REPORT

We have written the first paper draft. Some information is still missin, but its a good starting point.

Missing info so far:

• More experiments results and discussion
• Deeper conclusions
• More experimental data
• Complete list of references
• Conclusions about observation of emergen behavior

Paper draft v.01

Collaborative behavior is a critic topic for multiple agents systems. This paper presents the results of two different approaches to overcome joint actions: expectation and message driven behavior. A set of experiments has been designed to test the performance of both methods on the behavior of the Robots when collaborating together according to the Sony Four Legged RoboCup Open Challenge.

We succesfully finished the first status meeting will all the DOAS groups.

The ideas we presented regarding the collaborative bahavior approached were quite successfull.
