The day started off with a meeting with Prof. Brown.  He looked over the
system diagram we developed last night.  Our diagram had a few
discrepancies with the other ANT group, in that it was missing a status
request arrow and a pass/fail task arrow.  We drew these into our diagram
and laughed, because the other group had not mentioned their desire to
interface with our system in this particular manner.  We then met with
Mike and Walt to show them our system diagram.  Both groups presented
their diagrams and gave a detailed description as to how they worked.
Both Mike and Walt had many questions and seemed to be quite impressed.
We were impressed with our diagram as well, because it was quite savey.
The next step is to think more about our system as to how things will be
modeled and how the interaction between the subsystems will occur under
some typical scenarios.  Our day was cut a little short, but that was only
because Brown treated us to Friday's.  We all enjoyed a delicious meal
paid for by our tuition.  It was another great day.  Our progress
continues.

Sincerely,
