University of Guelph Research Day - Winter ‘08
On December 2nd and 4th 2008, Research Day for the Computer Science Department at the University of Guelph is taking place. Research Day is a day where many of the graduate and some undergraduate students present research projects in various stages. For the graduate students the projects consist of initial results and proposals for thesis documents while the undergrads present results from their research projects.

PerWin Research Group @ the University of Guelph
Today I completed the listing page for all of the presentations our research group PerWin at the University of Guelph has made in the last year or so. PerWin stands for Pervasive Computing and Wireless Networking Research. The group is directed by my advisor, Dr. Mieso Denko and has several graduate students who are active research members in the group. We have given presentations on topics ranging from Wireless Mesh Networks protocols, Autonomous networks, Fair Scheduling, Load Balancing, RFID, Wireless Security and much more. We have also had special invited talks by several faculty members from various Universities around Ontario (Ryerson, UOIT).

Fair Scheduling for Wireless Mesh Networks with Multiple Gateways - AINA’09 Submission
Introduction
After quite a bit of work on my M.Sc. degree I am beginning to get some initial results that I hope to use in my thesis. My work seems to be headed in the direction of fair scheduling and load balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). For more information on why addressing these issues are important and a PowerPoint presentation see my previous post, “Fair Scheduling & Load Balancing in WMN“. Basically, the aim of my work right now is to try to find a fair scheduling such that throughput and fairness are balanced. See the Venn-Diagram I have created below for an idea of where existing solutions fit into this. My solution would ideally fall right in the intersection of the two circles.

Site Redesign
So I’ve finally gotten around to making my own site design rather than modifying one of the themes available on Wordpress.org. I’m pretty happy with what I have so far. It’s not completely finished yet but I’ve learned alot about the Wordpress system while I’ve worked on this theme. I’m planning on making it available for free for anyone who wants to use it after I clean it up a bit more. Look for it soon in the projects section of the site.

COCOA 2008 Paper
Just a small update, my first conference paper “Algorithms and Implementation for Interconnection Graph Problem” by Hongbing Fan, Christian Hundt, Yu-Liang Wu and myself, will be presented at COCOA 2008 in St. John’s Newfoundland on Friday, August 22nd at 9:40am by Dr. Fan. I am unable to attend since I am quite busy working on my thesis and other work. You can view the program for the rest of the conference at the COCOA website
