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.reports (6/23/2014) that "the proposal for conference has been submitted for approval and Pinger has been added in the agenda. Travel expenses for you and Bebo have also been included in the conference proposal. We are awaiting the proposal approval. If the proposal gets approved, we can then decide on wether to actually conduct the Pinger Workshop at UM or at another place. I am saying this because I believe a stand alone pinger workshop will be more preferable.
As discussed earlier, the only twist here is that Pinger will be seen as a case study for big data. This is good in a sense that people interested in doing research in the domain of big data can deploy pinger monitoring nodes at their respective universities/organisations and in return, play around with the data.
We have to wait for the approval of proposal for conducting the workshop at UM. Tentative Dates are 24th and 25th November 2014." 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.

Badrul (6/23/2014) is still awaiting hearing from his student (Abdulrahim Haroun Ali who is out of the country) 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 6/22/2014For the minute the paper is not ready.
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.
