30 Jan 2006 Meeting with Dr. Turner

Our meeting with Dr. Turner went well today.  Everyone seems in high spirits and both projects are making progress.  Points of interest are as follows:

We are rescheduling our presentation for conferences next year.  A student who is graduating in december voiced concern, but Dr. Turner assured her that even having a paper in submission was excellent for an application.  Another student was concerned that we might be procrastinating.  This consern was assuaged by noting the fact that this was not an excuse to work less, and should a project be ready, it should then apply for earlier conferences.

The rational behind this change in deadline is the conjunction of three environmental factors.  Conference submission dates for this year are very close; it is better to present a solid project rather than one that barely works; the University won't have us budgeted till after July.

Dr. Turner asserts that the only database engines avialable for use on school machines will be mySQL and Oracle.  These are already installed and mySQL implements ANSI standard SQL, well, at least it understands it.

Mike and Ray's project has a working user interface up, and their design work on the backend is progressing well.

Distsim's progress is most accurately reported in this task list.
