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 will try and contact Adib. Anjum is also putting together a conference on cloud computing in November. I may be possible to co-locate the PingEr workshop with this conference.
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.
- Anjum suggested putting together a paper on metrics provided by PingER for Sigmetrix. The due date is in November.

Regarding the monitoring host in UUM, Adib has assigned one student to prepare the configuration/installation plan including how to secure our host from attack. He has a public IP address.

Adib requested Johari to share the UNIMAS setting so it is easier for the student to follow.

Raja, Umar and Les have submitted the paper on TULIP and its application to Visual Tracerouting to the Vancouver conference in November. Aceptances are due in July.

Anjum suggested Saqib, Badrul and Johari put together a paper on user experiences with using the Internet in Malaysia as seen from Malaysian universities. In particular round trip time, losses, jitter, reliability, routing/peering, in particular anomalies, and the impact on VoIP, throughput etc. It would be good to engage someone from MYREN.
