- Responded but  Unable to attend

Actual attendees: 

UM Workshop (see http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger/workshop.php)

  • Johari has the list from UM with names and phone numbers, but there are no email addresses. Johari will work on getting these by contacting the individuals. Also he will get their country of origin. Can people from UM and UTM assist please.
  • Follow up
    • Adib of UUM  also interested in porting PingER to support IPv6.
      • Anjum reported that SEECS started on this. They were thinking of using the IPv6 address, then using it to get the IPv4 address and rewriting the ping measurement with the IPv4 address, then everything in the analysis stays as it was. An alternative might be to get rid of the IP addresses altogether. Anjum reached out to Adib.
    • Hossein Javedani of UTM is interested in anomalous event detection with PingER data. Information on this is available at https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Event+Detection. We have sent him a couple of papers and how to access the PingER data. Hossein and Badrul have been put in contact. Is there an update Badrul?

Administration

  • We do not have a Skype nickname for Rafidah Md Noor <fidah@um.edu.my>. He has not attended calls recently. Do we need to get a Skype nickname for him? - Badrul
  • We will add Adib of UUM to the contacts (Johari) and the pinger-my mailing list. Les  believes this has been done.
  • Badrul will look into inviting RidZuan to join the PingER project team. Badrul will need to send the details to Johari to update http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger/contact.php. - Did anything happen?
  • Do we need to add anyone else to the weekly meetings, e.g. Hossein Javedani of UTM (or maybe Saqib or Hanan can cover for him), Ridzuan Bin Daud (or maybe Abdullah or Badrul can cover for him)? 

...

Badrul has received the grant from his proposal. It amounts to 46K RM. It will pay travel for Johari and Adib plus a Malaysian research assistant at UM.

Renan

  • Renan is currently working on optimizing and measuring timing for  converting the data to RDF format.
  • He has data for allyearly, allmonthly and last 60days for all 10 metrics.
  • The crontabs to update the data are running pretty smoothly*
  • The pre alpha data is available publicly.
    *For the Linked Open Data / RDF which is in pre-alpha days, you can go to http://pingerlod.slac.stanford.edu. As can be seen this page is not ready for prime time. However the demos work as long as one carefully elects what to look at:
    • Click on Visualizations, there are two choices:
      • Multiple Network Metrics: Click on the image: gives a form, choose from Node pinger.slac.stanford.edu pinging to www.ihep.ac.cn, time parameters 2006 2012, metrics throughput, Average RTT Packet loss and display format Plot graph, then click on submit. In a few seconds time series graph should come up. Mouse over to see details of values at each x value (year).
      • A mashup of network metrics x university metrics Click on image: gives another form, pinging from pinger.slac.stanford.edu, School metric number of students, time metric years 2006 2012, display format plot graph, click on submit. Longer wait, after about 35 seconds a google map should show up. Click on "Click for help." Area of dots = number of students, darkness of dots = throughput (lighter is better), inscribing circle color gives university type (public, private etc.) Click on circle for information on university etc.

UNIMAS

Johari needs a public DNS for his Raspberry Pie. Anjum suggested Johari move the Raspberry Pie to the data center based on SEECS experiences with Load Balancers. This may also assist with the traceroute problem and make it easier to get a public DNS. Update Johari

...

Adib of UUM reposrt on 8/22/2013 that he has discussed the PingER project with Prof.Suhaidi “the chairman of InterNetWorks Research Lab”; he is interested and ready to support. Now, they are waiting the requirements of UUM computer centre before they can officially join Pinger team.

The Next step in funding is to go for bigger research funding, such as LRGS or eScience. Such proposals must lead to publications in high quality journals. They will need an infrastructure such as the one we are building. We can use the upcoming workshop (1 specific session) to brainstorm and come up with such proposal. We need to do some groundwork before that as well. Johari will take the lead in putting together 1/2 page descriptions of the potential research projects.
