- Extend the NODEDETAILS data base to allow entry support for whether the host is currenty pingable.
- Extend the PingER map (also use for Pakistani to Pakistani subset map for the case study)
- This adds ping, traceroute, access to database etc.
- The advantage compared to other traceroute maps is that the laundering keeps only good servers.
- Faisal will work on this
- Get the MatLab licsense at SEECS and put up a CGB server using it. {_}Zafar can you provide progress at next meeting? Zafar will ask Dr. Ali Khayam and Dr. Anjum regarding this. Talked to Arshad to get a license. He has 3 undergraduate students he is interested in implementing CBG in Java from scratch. UpdateDr. Anjum talked to Dr. Arshad for license. Getting a license can be time consuming and might not work out the way we want it to. Our requirements are different and there are compatibility issues as well. Zafar has 3 graduate (MS) students, out of which 1 or 2 can work on re-implementing CBG in Java. The advantages of doing this are:
- All of our geolocation techniques are in Java and since there is no sort of a front-end back-end abstraction layer, best solution is to go with re-implementation.
- Since all of geolocation code is a single project, integrating CBG as a separate class will be better than trying to create a platform where CBG can talk to the rest of the infrastructure. This way in case of failure we will have just one point to deal with, instead of two. We won't be required to setup extra logging on the second machine running MatLab.
- Neither will there be communication overhead due to over-the-internet communication and nor will there be cross-platform issues.
Future
Zafar invite: getting signature of ALD. Budget and form filled out. Letter from has been issued and will be sent to Les. Les needs a CV from Zafar.
