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)

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
