A Post on Poster

Punya la liat skang nak update blog. I guess sbb I am already spent writing my thesis, jd nya nafsu nak memblog adalah x brp nak ada dah. Will try to update every other day, even short2 entry sbb last June ada 9 entries shj for the whole month? At this rate, by the time nak balik Msia terus lompong2 la blog ni huhu...


Anyway, would like to share some good news. A month ago (6/6/12), I presented a poster at the PC*CAT, a postgraduate conference khas utk bidang computing applications and tools. It was just a small conference, yg mana Uni Plymouth jd tuan rumah pada tahun ni (gilir2 dgn uni2 di South West). Mula2 x amik port, tp atas galakan sorg member aku yg mengatakan alang2 material dah ada (from Cognitive Institute Open Day hari tu), elok masuk aje, maka aku pon cuba2 la menghantar poster. Nak hantar full paper, malas la plak rasa nya, nak simpan bahan utk a publication with more weight, insya Allah. But since poster adalah lebih santai, maka submit lah...


The conference was quite informative. It covered quite a broad area, so x de la 100% relevant to my work, but it was refreshing for me sbb most of the conferences I attended were music computing related, and sesekali dpt 'lari' drpd tema itu and berbalik kpd Computing 'pure', terasa juggling la jgk otak.


Poster session plak ada 3 waktu, so mmg x leh nak lari, asal break aje kena jaga poster. Sbnarnya, ada juri yg akan mengadili poster session ni, tu yg mmg kena terpacak menjaga poster tu. Aku rasa chance nak menang tu mmg tipis la, apatah lg markah tu split 50% jury, 50% public voting. Alahai, aku ni dtg lone ranger (x de sapa dlm lab or org2 yg aku kenal pon attended, x mcm bbrp peserta lain yg mmg drpd lab sama, or negara sama), so apa lah peluang aku nak menang kan. Tapi mmg aku pushed jgk la bersungguh2 'kempen' dgn semua org yg lalu lalang tentang projek aku tuh. Pantang ada org tenung poster aku je terus aku sergah dari blkg ajak borak hehehe... Well, you've got to put some effort right?


Alhamdulillah, siapa sangka, best poster award menjadi milik aku in the end. Mmg sgt2 x sangka, but mungkin inilah yg dinamakan rezeki. Lebih2 lg award ni melibatkan hadiah berupa £100, anjuran the Society of the Arti*ficial Intelligence and Simu*lation Behavior (AI*SB), syukur yg tidak terhingga pada Mu ya Allah!


Below are the pictures of the event. Selain wang, dpt jg cenderahati drpd UoP (gelas tu) and also standard la gi konferens, tp brg2 free like headphones and USB stick etc etc.. Oh, and last pic tu from our lab's home page - malu jgk sbb annoucement org lain psl menang Composition Award ke, grant ke, collaboration kaw2 ke, tetiba terselit cerita puny Best Poster plak. Worst even, depa buh gmbr lama giler ok. Sungguh x cool!
