It's snowing from the morning and if it goes on and on, it might reach one foot! I managed to go out and snap some pictures on the way to the cafetaria. It really feels nice to do my work while it is snowing outside. This will be the paper to remember as I write it while it's snowing.
A friend commented that I should stick to heuristics as it's what our ASAP group is concentrating on. Should I waste my time doing something mathematical? Well, my view is that my research is about problem solving. I presume, problems can be solved using whatever methods available. It is a research anyway, and I think it's good to explore whatever methods there are. I may get solution or I may not get solution using mathematical software. Whether I get the solution or not, I may try heuristics too and I can make comparisons on both methods. As long as it adds to the body of knowledge, I certainly make a contribution and this is all PhD is all about - contribution to the body of knowledge. Well, I might get views from Mujgan and my supervisor too... In the meantime, let's enjoy the opportunity that I have at this moment, and hopefully the outcome in terms of papers that I produce from this visit will be accepted. Who knows I might write from Dublin and Netherland soon...
