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 Les and Bebo have also been included in the conference proposal. We are awaiting the proposal approval. Prof. Abdullah Gani says we shall get the approval soon (78/16/2014). : The faculty management at UM just changed and many matters required urgent attention. Abdullah will be able to update us soon once he gets a chance to see the Vice Chancellor. Once the approval is given the venue 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/organizations and in return, play around with the data. We agreed 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.- Anjum suggested putting together a paper on metrics provided by PingER for Sigmetrix. The due date is in November.
