Preparation for Turkey

This week, I prepared slides and gave a department/postgrad seminar for the work that I plan to present in SEIW (Declarative monitoring of declarative Web services). This presentation, while being good preparation, was also for fulfilment of departmental funding requirements.

After the presentation, I received interesting questions relating mostly to the performance of having a monitoring tool. The extra data collection will increase response rates of service requests, as with returned data quantity. But with WSOL, WSOI, the returned information is piggy packed into SOAP headers so additional data returned is minimal and additional time requirements can be minimized if measurement modules are placed within the client or server (as opposed to a third party). The department presentation attracted related researchers from both Swinburne and RMIT. While I'm not working in this area as much anymore, it was nice to bring people with similar interests together.

Researchers from Monash and RMIT who were interested in this area of research attended the presentation.
