4th DYNAMO Workshop

Today I went to the DYNAMO Workshop. DYNAMO which stands for "Dynamic Communication Networks" is a research group, part of the COST program (European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research). Something like the IEEE's Technical Committees, but more organized and more limited (2 members from each EU country).

I have to admit that I couldn't understand some 70% of what was presented! That is, I could hardly get the problem definitions, let alone the solutions that where presented. At the end of the workshop, I told my Professor about it and he condolences me by saying this was very focused and specialized and some kind of the edge of the ongoing research in the topics presented. Anyhow, I feel really stupid and illiterate! :( I hope the speeches of tomorrow morning (DISC) would be better.

The whole thing was quite interesting though, I met some famous and cool professors from all over Europe and sat at lunch table with them (Felt really good!). There were also some 3 presentations, which although I couldn't quite understand the solution they presented, the problem statement itself was quite interesting for me. It also showed me how much I have lost by not studying things like Probability and Advanced Algorithm seriously.
