Introduction
Students have a local superviser in Kuching. We start with a couple of graduate students interested in network monitoring.
- They learn about the PingER and other projects
- They work on assigned tasks working in Kuching
- We meet regularly (e.g. weekly) via phone (Skype) to review progress.
- Meeting includes Les at SLAC, any Kuching students at SLAC, students and supervisor in Kuching
- Daily emails, skype calls & instant messaging to keep in contact
- Tasks will involve programming (typically in perl) of network measurements, analysis and presentation (GUIs) of information
- The best of the best graduate students are invited to SLAC for 1 year as an intern/visiting scientist
Up to 2 students at a time:
- They will work together with the SLAC team on projects such as PingEr, perfSONAR
- Depending on the student there may be opportunities for presentations, talks, and contributing to publications
- They are funded by Kuching
- If interested then fairly early on it would be good to have a face to face meeting in Kuching and/or SLAC to go over expectations, do some publicity, introductions etc.

Typical duration at SLAC is 1 year. Nara raised the question as to whether the invitations could be for 2 years. Les checked with the US immigration folks. Unfortunately for IT specialists the limitation is 1 year.
