Fasting month is done, raya is done, it's time to catch up! I join the Research Writing class, organised by CELE. It's a 9 week course, meeting once a week. Hopefully it will motivate me to start writing. I'm being very ambitious - hoping to write a page a day and by the time the course ends, I'd have 56 pages of the LR! Let's see if it happens :-)
I'm reverting to the original plan of experimenting using heuristics. My supervisor did not like the idea of doing exact algo as it is difficult to get the optimal solution. For small instances, probably we can opt for IP or CP but for my case, it's gonna be tough. Probably when I'm done with my PhD, I'd give it a try.
I'm currently looking into tabu search. I found a book chapter which the authors experimented using tabu. Hopefully it will help.
It's almost end of October and the due date for the annals of PATAT is coming closer. Oh well, I'll have to send it to other journal then...
Yesterday I received an email from the coordinator of ASAP seminar. I'd have to present my work on Dec 11, 2008. Hopefully by then I'd have something to show.
