07/21/2006: "Recent Trip"

Although I cannot reveal too many details, my recent trip to the SAP research centre in Belfast was successfull and as such I am quietly optimistic about the prospects of future collaborations with those guys. I met several people one of whom I'd met before and we talked a lot about technologies, distributed computing, security, GOLD and other projects.

I feel proud when I talk about the work we have been doing in NCL and people take an interest in it by asking many interesting questions. I invited "unofficially" the SAP people to pay us a visit when we next demonstrate our software (or years of research rather) put into practice at the EPSRC booth in the AHM2006 conference. They made me feel very welcome so I am thankful for that.

The week was a bit hectic with the travelling so I look forward to the weekend...partying of course.

more soon.
