Submitted to GlobeCom 2007

It's the 50th anniversary of GlobeCom. It's a premier networking conference. We've submitted a paper about GMPLS Controlled Ethernet Label Switching (GELS) to this conference today. It wouldnt have been possible without the untiring amazing hard work by my advisor Dr. Zartash. I had gone to Sialkot at a crucial stage due to the death of my cousin. I came back the next day, which was one day before the deadline. I had been up all night and driving tired. I slept for only a couple of hours and came for an all night long hard work at Dr. Zartash's office. I slept for three hours at 3 am and then resumed work with him. Atif Nazir was there and he went to sleep later on. Fawaz joined us at around 10 am. By 1 pm, we had completed the paper and submitted it to the conference. My friends later discovered some needed corrections to the paper which were incorporated by my advisor and the paper submitted to the conference again. I'm hoping and praying for the paper to be accepted.
