- Johari proposes that UTM host a PingER workshop in 2014, maybe associated with another conference. Anjum will be in Malaysia then. Saqib will meet met Hanan Jan 9th and discuss discussed this. After the meeting Johari sent email to the Les, Hanan, Saqib, Badrul, and Adib with the issues and suggesting a skype meeting
UTM volunteered to host the workshop last year. Due to the lack of funding from UTM, UM hosted it. Hanan believes the constraint is the budget. After knowing how can we fund the workshop, then we can decide who will the host the workshop. What is the next step?
Adib suggested a summer school that is aimed at graduate students and researchers from different disciplines where everyone needs to be present for team presentations based on case studies/assignments given to each team. Each team will be mentored by one professional researcher (from PingER Current Member) to guide and advise. The Summer School activities will include: Keynote talk, Presentations on current projects related to Pinger that open up challenges for students to solve and address, and case studies (assignments based on the presentations) for each team of students.
Anjum plans to be at UM by January 28th, we all hope he has his visa by then.

Renan is looking at submitting a paper or poster for a Big Data and Social Computing conference that will be held at Stanford: Bebo has looked at the conference and believes a posters submission would be good. Renan talked to his supervisor, Luiza and she suggested him to get in touch with another professor at UFRJ who also has experience in submitting papers for international conferences. She also has experience in big data, especially working with scientific data. This new professor, called Marta, said she can help Renan with writing and submitting for the Stanford Big Data Conference. We would need to submit a 10-pages-2-columns paper, focusing on Big Data processing (and maybe analysis), trying to also give some ‘scientific content’ approach, because this is Marta’s field of research. The due date for the paper submission is March 1st.
It would be good if somebody else was able to work with Renan to move PingER LOD forward. However we think the performance issue has to be resolved first.

The annual PingER report for the International Committee on Future Accelerators (ICFA) is completed. It is available at http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/icfa/icfa-net-paper-jan14/report-jan14.docx. We are working on a slide presentation to ICFA in Geneva, to be given by Harvey Newman
Raja has also re-written the historical traceroute facility that takes nightly traceroutes and allows one to retrieve and compare them. He then extended it to use the reverse traceroute facility to provide histories for NUST, CERN, UM as well as SLAC. When the UNIMAS and UTM traceroutes work, we can include them. See for example http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/traceroutearchive.cgi?from=maggie1.seecs.edu.pk&to=pinger.cern.ch&date1=2014_01_29&date2=2014_01_30&date3=2014_01_31.
