So much typing...

Doing corrections day in day out is pretty demoralising... I'm always torn between having noise in the background or seeing if I can concentrate without any. I tend to land in column A. Well in any case it needs doing, and the upside is I've read a decent number of recent papers that are pretty interesting, and one that I can't believe got published. It's a bit surreal seeing a publication that purposely ignores the work of your colleagues (and me too I guess, but I don't imagine I'm very sought-after).

Anyway this paper... let's call it "On decentralized coordination for spatial task allocation and scheduling in heterogeneous teams" because that's its name, is noticeably lacking in any mention of max-sum or its ilk. Very odd given its ubiquity.

Here's one last random thing. Threw these together to back up my literature review: they're examples of belief-data overlaid on spatial maps. It's the kind of thing you can create from crowd reports of building damage and the like, and shows nicely how you could use it to make path plans for a UAV to follow in those cases. There you go.
