ISSA Conference 2008 - Proceedings

I guess I can say that I am now published due to an interesting turn of events!

I posted before on how my paper was unfortunately not accepted, but I wasn’t too disappointed as I was still going to be attending the conference and I designed an A1 poster for the event. Anyway, two days before leaving Grahamstown I found out that my paper had been upgraded to presentation material and that I would be presenting in a Research-In-Progress slot instead! Cramming an entire years work into a 15 minute presentation time slot was rather difficult, but I think it went ok and I received some interesting comments. The audience seemed very interested.

I am published in the proceedings as well, however it is not my “camera-ready” paper, which I am fixing up now and will be mailing to them to put on their website instead of the pre-review paper.

I also have a very shiny poster which was never seen…
