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 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 in Western Australia, Okinawa and possibly Singapore in November. Bebo says: "A workshop beginning on November 17 (or that week) would be ideal for me." I think that conflicts with Les who is in Burkina Faso that week.
- Anjum suggested putting together a paper on metrics provided by PingER for Sigmetrix. The due date is in November.

Ibrahim Abaker is planning to work on a topic initially entitled " leveraging pingER big data with a modified pingtable for event-correlation and clustering". Ibrahim has a proposal, see https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/download/attachments/17162/leveraging+pingER+big+data+with+a+modified+pingtable+for+event-correlation+and+clustering.docx. He is currently spending time reading about RDF storage and its retrieval, also he is trying to setup Hadoop clusters for the experiment. He is in email discussion with Renan on which part to work on first. He plans to collaborate with Renan to make the pinger store and process more efficient. Les has sent him documentation of PinGER which is very helpful. Ridzuans' work is more to do with hosting the data and stream data analysis. Ibrahim is looking more at applying MapReduce ( programming model for processing large data sets with a parallel, distributed algorithm on a cluster), reducing the storage needs and providing querying of the data. No word from Ibrahim 6/4/2014. Requested update 6/23/2014.

Ibrahim reported that in the last few months he has tried to come up with the scenario to pre-process RDF format using N-Triple and store in Key-value store database in Hadoop platform. He installed hadoop but in a Single not using CMC which is cloud services provided by UM Single Node.
