The meeting had several interruptions, high noise events and some people being unable to be heard so not everyone was on all the time.
Administration
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 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." It has been approved by the dean, next it goes to the chancellor. Hope to have decision in a couple of weeks. Once the approval is given the venus for the conference can be at UM or UUM.
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."return, play around with the data. We that it looked like the 25th would be a good day for the PingER workshop. Les should be able to make it from Burkina Faso, and Bebo should be able to get back to the US for Thanksgiving. There would be back to back presentation on how PingER gathers, archives data, what data there is, the data types, how to access etc. by Les followed by Bebo on Google Tools for Big data. 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. 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.
UNIMAS
Johari was unable to attend so there was no update 9/25/2014.
Dr. Adnan Shahid Khan who recently joined UNIMAS, will be joining our PingER group and will help with the current PingER initiative in UNIMAS. Once he is up to speed on PingER he will join the group.
