- Responded but Unable to attend:
Actual attendees: Anjum, Kashif, Raja, Ridzuan, Saqib, Belo, Les
Administration
Anjum is at UM. He does have access to the Internet from the Lab but its a shared place and he cannot attend meetings while in the Lab. For meetings, either he shall attend it from his home, or from the common room of the building.
- UUM are interested to host a PingER workshop at UUM in 2014. However, they have two issues, one is the budget (they need to run this workshop on cost recovery basis); second is their commitment to MYIGF which is hosted by UUM (btw 12-13 august). There was no update 3/5/2014.
Renan
Renan realized that testing on Virtuoso is going to take longer than he thought because of the big number of triples. He did not have enough time to continue his tests.
Renan completed writing the paper on Linked Open data access to PingER data. Bebo 7 less have reviewed and commented. It was submitted to the Stanford conference March 1st, 2014. . The deadline for the submission was extended from March 1st to March 15. The notification is May 1st, the final submission is May 9th, conference is May 27-31. Poster submissions are due April 4th, we might submit a poster just in case. The acceptance rate is very low. Information on the conference is at http://www.scienceengineering.org/ase/conference/2014/bigdata/sanjose/website/paper-submission/.
Les will try and set up a Skype meeting with Renan and Bebo to go over strategy and also to discuss Ibrahim's work (see below).
Les will send another email to Vinicius and Renan to see if we can get the UFRJ host running agai (the web server is not working). Renan did not not see Vinicius (the admin of the UFRJ PingER monitor). We can try to contact him via email again (maybe in the end of February?). If he doesn´t reply, Renan can try to talk to him in person again.
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.

UM appears to be experiencing very high packet losses (>4%). We need help in understanding these. It does not look like simple congestion since the jitter and RTT is staying low. Saqib needs assistance from Badrul as part of his case study of Malaysia. Badrul writes: "UM is now currently changing the new policy regarding the bandwidth and connection. They are upgrading the switch and router to a new router - mostly every weekend they shut down the network. therefore we are now having some difficulty." Saqib has identified what appear to be losses starting at a JARING router in KL. Badrul will run some mtr traceorute/pings to various sites. . No update 3/5/2014.
Badrul plans for his undergraduate student (Abdulrahim Haroun Ali) to have a draft paper on anomalies in PingER measurements to share for review by the end of semester (January). Update?. No update 3/5/2014.
Ridzuan successfully setup hadoop environment for the servers. He is now looking into how best to input the pinger data to the environment and type of analytics that can be done.
