Depending on mutual interests, a selection will then be made. Deliverables Following an earlier exchange proposal, we propose to let the student submit a brief email report at the end of the first month and milestone reports at 3 month intervals thereafter. A final report is due a month after the exchange is over. These reports do not need to be long but should include status reports of the research project. Futures One of the benefits of this exchange for the VU is getting more insight in system's behavior in a wide-area setting.
Data are generally rare when it comes to wide-area systems.
Having a programmer in our group who knows about wide-area performance measurements is going to be of great help. A couple weeks off around Christmas to return to the Netherlands is part of the plan.
