Eid Mubarak 30/9/2008

We just celebrating our eid mubarak yesterday in the so called sad-happy situation. We are celebrating a day earlier than in my home country.

5'th meeting 29/9/2008 13.00 - 13.45pm

From now onwards, this blog will gives you more information on my social life (some activities or attended event) whilst I'm in the UK rather than my phd journey. The details of discussion with my supervisor is less likely to be published here. I will put it on my personal diary possibly google diary. I can't reveal everything or every single word what I've had discussed with my supervisor. ;) This to avoid of "feeling comfortable with". To my wife don't worry ..I will tell you everything... so far so good. but I have to work harder and of course smarter..

Weather warnings as first autumn storm hits

AFP - Friday, September 5 11:41 am

LONDON (AFP) - Heavy rain and strong winds are pounding parts of Britain as the first major storm of the autumn pushes in from the Atlantic.
(Advertisement)

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for large parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Some places have been warned to expected over two weeks of rainfall in 24 hours, with forecasters saying there is a risk of localised flooding.

Southwest England and Wales are already experiencing heavy rainfall, and the rain is expected to head north throughout the day.

The Met Office says some areas in England and Wales could see up to 50mm of rainfall on grounds already saturated from a wet August.

The weather is unlikely to improve much over the weekend, with more rain and thundery showers expected.

Father and Son by Cat Steven

Dedicated to my kids..

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

Second Meeting

Date: 17/7/2008
Time: 3.30 - 4.30pm

Summary of discussions:

1. keep up on developing a road map of Scheduling techniques(K-Chart like)
2. reading and explore METHODOLOGY and APPLICATION DOMAIN; have to know how to choose the right paper
3. identify the problem that was not addressed before OR do some improvements on other people works OR investigation of certain algorithm
4. it is really important to keep the references using either BibTex or EndNotes
5. practice writing LR with your own sentences not other people. usually from summary of reading
6. gave me few options:
- dynamic scheduling: network (ant algorithm), sport (SA is really fit), nurse rostering problem (H)
7. LR - half of page is about general scheduling then normally 12 pages is reserved for our chosen technique.
8. attend NATCOR seminar which to be held on 15-19/9/2008 (University of Southampton)

End at 4.30pm

Meeting 1

time: half past 12 (4/7/08)

summary of discussion:
- thesis should consist of:
1. Intro
2. LR (around 56 pages)- should start with a broad topic, then narrow
3. experimental set up/introductory to the area of research
4. ...
.
.
7.
8. Conclusion
9. References


Item 3 to 7 is about our RESEARCH, should produce paper from each (impossible! it's hard for me)
Year 1: reading a lot of papers
Year 2: research/experiment
Year 3: writing

(I don't think can finish in three years..but I will try...)

The topic would potentially be Sport Scheduling..
Read the following books:
1. Peter Brucker (Scheduling algorithms ISBN:3540415106),
2. Michael Pinedo (Scheduling: Theory, Algorithms, and Systems)
3. read more about meta-H,H
4. look into Rong Qu's paper on Nurse Rostering Problem)

it is crucial to efficiently manage our research/works and time.. keep record of any progress as well as references because later on it might be useful.

Sv strongly recommended that to use LATEX in thesis writing.

end at 1.05pm
