Hassaan reports "I have received revisions on my proposal and these days I am revising my proposal.
In the meantime he has also added another student (Anas Abrar) on this project. He is in learning phase and will follow the nodes which are not working. He shall give us an update very soon.
He is very hopeful that if the proposal is accepted then we can easily have a full time RA for the project.
However, Anjum points out it may take a while to get acceptance and funding (e.g. 6 months)

9 students from Amity University near New Delhi in India interested in coming to SLAC. Bebo sent reminder recently, response below:
Sorry for the delay. Students are giving end semester exams. They are busy till dec 20th. They will get back to work as soon as the exams are done. Once the exam is over we will be setting up "PingER measurement agent at Amity"
Three students have each written a short paper for the 6th International Conference on Cloud System and Big Data Engineering at Amity Jan 14-15, 2016. I have reviewed and made some corrections
443: Analysis and clustering PingER network data
463: Application for the emulation of pinger on Android devices
432: Correlation analysis on Real Time Tab Delimited Network monitoring data
Btech computer science students would be graduating in May 2016. Their visas can be arranged after May 2016.

Aqsa Hameed working on big data/analysis of PingER data. The initial idea was to set up a big data/big analysis
Aqsa Hameed has been working with Anjum to look at a project to create a Hadoop/Cloudera PingER warehouse to enable easier, more powerful access to PingER historical data.
Thinking a bit on Aqsa her work appears to be related to the work done by Thiago on PingER warehouse using a cluster/Cloudera/HDFS/Impala earlier this year. In particular see the presentation at NETAPPS2015 (see https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/download/attachments/123309267/NETAPPS_PRESENTATIONrevLuiza.pptx. Once the paper is published we can also provide her with that (Adib will let us know when this is OK).
Les emailed the relevant people to put them in contact with one another. It appears there is a lot of overlap between what Aqsa proposed and what Thiago has already done. We need to look at the next steps: Internet access, auto-updating of information in near realtime, production service, maintainable etc.
- Saqib has submitted a project with title "A Fundamental Active Internet Performance Monitoring Framework for Pakistan Education & Research Network (PERN) in University of Agriculture, Faisalabad"
Project is accepted.
working on a project to develop a node using Raspberry Pi 2 and IoT to measure the air and soil quality.
Currently, students are analyzing the project to develop a problem statement for their research project.Saqib has 5 students interested in PingER. In particular in Big Data, Data Mining and Geolocation.
For the GeoLocation Saqib should contact Anjum
