Jan 18: thesis meeting with Kurt Vanmechelen
Jan 01-17: Elaboration on price discovery
Elaboration on price discovery mechanisms, wrote first parts of the thesis. Completed prototype port to Spring.
Dec 15 - Dec 31: focus on other school projects
Some other school projects needed some of my time. No progress on thesis.
Dec 9 ~ Dec 15: learning the Spring library
Learned about Spring Library: can potentially speed up prototype development significantly (especially the good integration with JAX-WS seems interesting).
Ported prototype to spring (not completly done yet); uses webservices
Document with some the issues I resolved: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1HtfPLwqVHO8J3R-s1qBfFWMfF8Ve5fAp9y1jzuniztw
Wednesday, Dec 8: thesis meeting with Kurt Vanmechelen
Discussion results elaboration on research internship: Desktop Clouds: CDA
A first (more elaborate) CDA prototype based on these thoughts
Integration with thesis: combining CDA with CRA
Powerpoint presentation with overview: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B2ZFuPHiC22wN2UyNzYyYjktMDdhYi00YTgxLTg0YWUtNzZjN2MwMGE4NTJm&hl=en_GB
Nov 18 - Dec 7: Elaboration on research internship + possibly integration with thesis
Wednesday, Nov 17: thesis meeting with Kurt Vanmechelen
Discussion Initial implementation of CRA, although some issues remain; some of the concepts are probably useful. Constraint mechanism seems sufficient.
Some initial ideas about price discovery

Oct 29 - Nov 16: Initial implementation of CRA
Thursday, Oct 28: thesis meeting with Kurt Vanmechelen
Maybe CDA not such a good idea (primarily caused by heterogeneity of providers), use something like a Reverse Auction instead? First ideas concerning CRA (Continuous Reverse Auction).
Initial implementation (prototype) of constraint mechanism

Wednesday, Oct 27: thesis meeting with Kurt Vanmechelen
Further elaborated on prototype
Difficulties with heterogeneity of providers became more apparent. An elaborate constraint mechanism will needed.
