• We need to decide what is the scope of the project/proposal. For example:
  • Set up an active end-to-end monitoring infrastructure for Malaysia educational sites, similar to that set up in Pakistan.
  • Set up low cost, low power monitorable sites (e.g. similar to the ePingER project) in remote regions such as Bario, Long Lamai, and Ba Kalalan.
  • Other suggestions.
• If go for funding need to identify potential funding sources.
• Need to identify a lead to put together a joint proposal from (UNIMAS, NUST/SEECS, SLAC, and UM)to a funding source for a joint project to set up.

Proposed Agenda

• Introductions
• Proposed Joint Research Partnership between UM, UNIMAS, NUST and SLAC. - Arshad Ali
  • Dr. Arshad will lead this part of discussion. He will share the benefits of having Pinger deployment in Pakistan and how it is helping us identify issues and enable HEC in providing better services on PERN network. Other potential collaboration directions can include projects on the lines of Openflow research in NUST, utilization of GSM testbed and IPv6 testbed facilities at NUST. We are also looking for other projects in the domain of networks that can be of mutual benefit for everyone involved.
• Roles and who has the role:
  • Deploy and manage monitoring hosts at major sites in Malaysia
    • Provide guidance, experience - maybe a Pakistani person visit Malaysia
  • Mine the data, analyze and prepare reports
    • Keep data gathering and analysis working as web SaaS
• Potential sources of funding: . Anjum points out that there are constraints that funding agencies put on Malaysian institutions. Keeping those in view, Anjum recommends we should think on the lines of submitting joint proposals in Malaysia as well as in Pakistan (ICT RnD and HEC). We may also consider submitting and NSF proposal. An important aspect of those proposals shall be exchange of researchers and this direction shall be considered and discussed in meeting.
  • Malaysia - Abdullah Bin Gani or Nara or both
  • Pakistan - Arshad
• What to do until funding or if no funding?
• Action items.
