A further step might be along the lines of deploying an ePingER monitoring station in the remote regions. Its low power requirements and low cost together with the ability to host applications such as a web accessible PingER monitoring station, could be very advantageous to quantitatively study the network performance, and provide reports for decisions makers and funding agencies on how to improve the network.

- Dr. Tan will lead future meetings at the UNIMAS end.
- Imran will continue to support the PingER monitor at UNIMAS, and provide technical help. At some time in the future I believe I heard he will be starting a PhD.
- It might be interesting and easy to add to the UNIMAS PingER monitor monitoring of nodes in remote regions of Eastern Malaysia. When a reasonable amount of data has been gathered then a case study could be be made of the connections to the remote sites, to identify and compare the performance.
- A next step is to further engage the UNIMAS vice chancellor. Nara has already talked with the VC, The VC was unable to make this Skype meeting, but we will need to set one up for him to meet with the SLAC end. this would be a good time to discuss resources etc.
- Les will send some ideas for projects/tasks. A first cut is available.
Next meeting
Will be in 2 weeks time on Thursday 5th July 8pm Pacific Daylight Time, Friday 6th July 11am.h3,
Future
Are there resources and what for:
- Funding for students as time goes goes on as becomes clearer, then seek student & grants
- Funding for face to face start up visits. Spoken to vice chancellor, Skype call with us between SLAC ann VC at a later time. Schedule a meeting to discuss resources. Visit to SLAC Internal discussions
Consult higher education for funding
- Funding for extended (1 year) internships at SLAC
What kind of students – graduate, BS, MS, PhD …
What are
...
student interests?
- Building network monitoring tools tools (measurement, analysis, GUIs)
- Analyzing data, producing case studies
- Research, writing papers
...
- Computing requirements, accounts at SLAC
- Interim email lists and SMS txt messages
- Documentation respository (probably use the SLAC wiki)
- Follow on meetings would include identified students, progress reports etc.
