First Report - A List of Content

This is a list of content that I have done for SIMS Middleware Project. This report suppose to hand in to Pro. Misha once a month. Due to a heavy schedule I had during September to the end of November, I start to re-record all my movements and results Now.

Aug 7, the first thesis proposal
Mr. Erik Klintskog made this proposal for me. He holds a PhD degree in Distributed Systems, had worked in SICS for 7 years and was the team leader for EU projects at Appear. In October 2007, he left Appear and now works for SAAB at Uppsala. Special thanks to Erik, he helped me get into SIMS and guided me on the thesis.

Aug 13, officially joined in SIMS project
On this Moday, I started my work at AppearNetworks as a fulltime employee. Great thanks to the CEO, Xavier for this wonderful offer. I can work for EU research project and use it as my thesis topic. I have this chance to run two things in parallel, and I know I will manage to do so.
This day was actually my birthday according to Chinese lunar calendar. Terrific! ^_^

Amusing Debut

The blog is about SIMS Middleware, a software platform for EU Research Project SIMS.

Now, the Design and Implementation of SIMS Middleware is the thesis topic for my master's program at KTH. I record my thesis work in this blog, as a part of my report to my examiner teacher Professor Mihhail Matskin.

In future, this also keeps logs for SIMS MW even after the end of the project.

The Author of the blog is Kai Xie, a master student in Sofware Engineering of Distributed Systems at KTH and Software Developer at Appearnetworks AB in Sweden.
