Newsletter July-September 2004  (Vol. 1, No. 3)

 

Off we go again with another newsletter.  Another ‘two-months-in-one’ edition for the summer months.  Plenty happening though.  Watch it unfold over the next few weeks.

 

Down and Out in Plymouth and London

 

Vic Grout has recently presented four papers.  His talks on ‘Real-Time Network Optimisation’ and ‘Internet Traffic Policies and Routing’ at the Applied Mathematical Programming and Modelling (APMOD 2004) conference at Brunel University in Middlesex were by invitation from Professor Gregory Gutin of Royal Holloway University of London.  He then went on to Plymouth University to present ‘Minimising Relays in Wireless Networks’ and ‘A New Distributed Link-State Routing Protocol with Enhanced Traffic Load Distribution’ (co-authored by John Davies, Mike Hughes and Nigel Houlden) at the 4th BCS/IEE International Network Conference (INC 2004) organized by the Network Research Group.  Vic has been asked to serve on the International Programme Committee for INC 2005, to be held next July on the Greek island of Samos.

 

Future Work

 

Stuart Cunningham, Denise Oram, Rich Hebblewhite and Vic Grout have had papers accepted for the IADIS WWW/Internet (W3I 2004) conference in Madrid, Spain in October.  A number of CAIR members have papers in various stages of submission and review.

Endpiece

 

We’re trying to keep these newsletters as informal as possible, to make them accessible to everyone, not just us strange researchers.  To that end, apart from the style, we also publish them at the beginning of the month, not the end.  We add to it as time passes.  That means that what you’re reading now is a ‘work in progress’, not a finished product.  It will grow as things happen.  Go on, watch it, it will, really!
