ISPDC ‘06 in Romania

June 2nd, 2006

I had been planning on touring Eastern Europe earlier in the year - had it all mapped out, from Croatia to Estonia, but was forced to come to terms with the fact that I just couldn’t afford it. So I’m pleased to get the chance to attend the the 5th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing in Timisoara in July, where I will be presenting my results on “the Greedy Formation Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks”.

Four days of hardcore technical presentations will probably be a bit much, but if I get through it without my head exploding then hopefully the experience will be of some benefit to me. There are some interesting talks, and the city of Timisoara is meant to be a nice place, so I am looking forward to going there.

    Hey Pádraig - welcome to the site. I can indeed forward on the paper, its around here somewhere. Are you going to be doing a masters?

    Great, cant wait to have a read of it. As for the masters… I’m gonna try find a job for now, but I’m really dreading starting working at the moment, interviews, all that stuff. I’m thinking I will do a Masters a couple of years down the line, and maybe aboad too. How bout you?
