Cover story on Protothreads

0508esdCover.gif In my previous post on Protothreads, I gave an overview of Protothreads and talked about how working in Sweden was fun - thanks to Adam Dunkels and Thiemo Voigt. Protothreads got featured on the cover of this month's Embedded Systems Magazine (May 2008 Vol. 21 No. 5). The cover story is by Michael Dorin and is titled "Building "instant-up" real-time operating systems". Check it out!

Lectures at Abdus Salam Center

abdus.JPG I will be at the Abdus Salam Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in Trieste, Italy next month talking about wireless meshes. Abdus Salam is the first Muslim and the first (and only) Pakistani Nobel Laureate. He unified two (electromagnetism and weak interaction) of the four fundamental forces of nature, which is still the latest step towards the unified description of all four physical forces. ICTP was founded by Salam in 1964.
Salam wanted to bridge the scientific and economic gap between the rich and poor populations of the world - something that we are trying to do through Dritte. ICTP, following on its founder's vision, is organizing a School on Wireless Networking for Development, where i will be giving lectures on Feb 24th and 25th. I am excited about this trip, as I think that Abdus Salam's vision will inspire me to focus on fundamental problems in scientific research and to try and bring the benefits of science to the poor.
