My First International Conference

Hello, all of you... It’s a long time, since I wrote my last blog. For last 6 to 9 month I thought of writing something; and come up with nothing because of my busy life. Today December 20th 2009, returning from Bangalore, I get few times to spend with my mobile office. So I decided to write something.

The garden city Bangalore; this is my 4th visit; for an international conference, ADCOM 2009. It was important for me in two ways. First of all, my very first paper "An Efficient Algorithm to Reconstruct Minimum Spanning Tree in an Asynchronous Distributed System" was published in the conference; and second cause was it focuses on Green Computing. People who know me can easily understand why GREEN is so much important to me; for others I may write another blog in another time. Wait until then ;)

Let me share my feelings with you. Since was there for presenting my paper for the very first time in front of so many knowledge hunters, tension was mounting as the time came closer and closer. However, I enjoyed some great presentation from some key note presenters; also slept during some presentation ;)

One and half day was over, all great people was sharing their thoughts of latest technology trend and green computing. An industry session on Green Data Center was scheduled just before the start of technical paper presentation in the afternoon of day 2. As I already told you, it was my first time in such a conference. So, I won’t have any idea how these sessions are organized and how much quality require in the presentation. When I was attending these presentations, I found that it is not very important that how you present, it is more important that whether you're getting few suggestions from the other technical people working on the same field or not.
I prepared for the presentation and present my paper in the morning of very last day of the conference. And yes I got few valuable suggestions; one from a very senior member of ACS. So, I think my presentation was right on the spot. ;) Hay obviously I am considering this was my first time. Otherwise it requires lot more improvement.

Anyway food was nice. I always like south Indian food because for 3 or 4r day in a year with different food habits make you feel good about taste. However, the more important thing in conference was, I make 2 friends. They are good; they share their view and suggest some valuable idea about my future research plan.

So, at the end if I tried to count the cost effectiveness of my visit; I can say it was a balanced journey. Today returning from the green city, I am caring a green mind and a green energy with me. Hope this help me on my future works.
