Sporadic Posts
Apparently, each time I think I will keep posting consistently to this blog, something else happens which takes my attention away. In the past few months I've been working on a few different things, all of them quite interesting. Some of my time has been devoted to the Cell processor. I hope to be able to share with the community some of the developed software, as well as some of the interesting results we found. For the time being, those of you who are curious enough can take a look at the CellBE Blog I've setup.
Something else that has captured a good deal of my attention are Complex Systems, and specifically nature inspired techniques applied to complex systems. On this matter, I've recently submitted a paper on clock synchronization for large scale dynamic distributed systems which relys on the same mechanism used by firefly to synchronize their flashing.

Six Degrees
A few days ago I started reading the book Six Degrees from Duncan J. Watts. The book a nice overview of Duncan seminal work on so called Small-Worlds, and Network Theory. It reads quite nicely, and the only thing I missed here and there there was a bit more of math. In general it is a very nice book worth reading it!
