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.
