Abstract
A preliminary investigation of the results produced by two cooperative learning strategies exploited in the system REGAL is reported. The objective is to produce a more efficient learning system. An extensive description about how to setup a suitable experimental setup is included. It is worthwhile to note that, in principle, these cooperative learning strategies could be applied to a pool of different learning systems.
