Adib is waiting to hear from colleague (Dr. Nordin: chair of ISTT2014), there was no update as of this meeting. The conference is 2 days so the workshop may be squeezed to one day. The conference will be held in Langkawi between 24-26 Nov.
Hopefully, this will help us to attract good number of participants and get sponsor/support to cover our expenditure. Other option is to conduct the workshop in UUM, we are ready to provide Local Arrangement (lab, local transportation, and food). But there is no funding provided by the school to support the transportation/accommodation of the speakers.
- Anjum will try and contact Adib. Anjum is also putting together a conference on cloud computing in November. We do not have a particular date. Anjum believes it is possible to co-locate the PingER workshop with this conference. The emphasis would be on PingER as a source of Big Data. This could also involve Bebo, Ridzuan and Ibrahim.
Adib is trying a number of options and there is some progress.
Anjum talked to his supervisor. He is showing revived interest in PingeR. He was busy the day Anjum talked to him. Anjum will have another meeting with him on Friday to further discuss the possibility of combining the conference with workshop.
Les will be in Burkina Faso Nov 13-21. He flies back to London on Nov 22nd. He can get to Malaysia mid morning November 24th. Thus the workshop should be at the end of the ISTT2014 meeting if Les is to attend.
- Bebo will be Western Australia, Okinawa and possibly Singapore in November. Bebo will send his expected dates/itinerary.
- Anjum suggested putting together a paper on metrics provided by PingER for Sigmetrix. The due date is in November.
Renan
Renan and his supervisor were at Stanford for the Academy of Science 2014 Bigdata / SocialCom / Cybersecurity conference at Stanford May 27-31. The poster session on Linked Open Data Publication Strategies: Application in Networking Performance Measurement Data" was well attended. See https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Papers+and+Presentations for access to the paper and poster. After meeting with Renan's supervisor (Maria, Luiza Campos) said she will be looking for a couple of students at UFRJ to assist Renan. Email sent to Luiza 6/22/2014.
UM
Badrul is still awaiting hearing from his student (Abdulrahim Haroun Ali) on the paper on anomalies in PingER measurements and will update later once the paper ready. No word from Badrul 6/4/2014. Email request for update sent 6/22/2014.
Ridzuan has put together a rough proposal to use Hadoop to store and make available PingER data. He is evaluating several vendors version of Hadoop 2.0 installations to decide which is the right one to adopt. Last time he successfully installed and tried Hadoop 1.0 but then it has many drawbacks such as no real-time streaming processing. Johari sent information on the Myren Cloud. The web site is as follows: https://cloud.myren.net.my/. It gives information about the service and how to apply, plus user guide is available from the website. As for Ridzuan, he should be eligible to register for the service, but he needs to check with UM (University Malaya) procedures for applying for the service. No word from Ridzuan 6/4/2014.
