01/31/2007: "33"

I submitted a workshop proposal for the next All Hands Meeting to discuss web services security. I hope it is successful. The workshop will be along the same format as my previous one 2 years ago. It also coincides with GOLD's final review and i thought a workshop of that sort plus our regular demo will enable us to go out on a high. The call for regular papers is also out and I am hoping to get my GOLD colleagues together to submit something to AHM (for a final time)

On the work front I have found a datalog interpreter XSB which i am trying to learn and at the same time evaluate its capabilities in expressing XACML policies. I am playing with various interesting Java APIs which at the same time i am learning from scratch.

I have finalised the list of chapters for my book and apart from some light paperwork, it is ready to be sent to the publisher. I hope to do this by mid February. I am still awaiting copyright forms from certain authors so please send these asap.

Mid February also marks my birthday (33 this year ) . I will try to get myself away before depression kicks in.
