Simulator touch-ups

We want to upload a more finished form of the simulator soon. For this reason, we've been working to remove difficult operating procedures from the simulation testbed and to streamline the operation in addition to bug-removal. With some great help from Dr. Zartash, I've done some major touch-ups and we'll soon be finally uploading this new version of our GELS simulator. After our presentation at IEEE GlobeCom 2007, Dr. Zartash will be delivering a tutorial session at Doha Qatar next year. We are planning to hand out CD-ROMs containing our simulator source code during the tutorial.

Gearing up for conference

Last night, Dr. Zartash and Dr. Shahab Baqai initiated the launch of the 2nd International Networking and Communications Conference (INCC) 2008. The first one was held in 2004 and was a huge success. This time is expected to be even better. I'm also chipping in some volunteer efforts. We've inintiated the IEEE Communications Society Technical Co-sponsorship request and will soon move forward with the IEEE Conference Acquisition. The conference will be held on May 1-3, 2008. The conference website is coming up real soon.
