Palfrey's life

Ho-hum. Have just submitted a paper abstract to Sensys. Now, all I've gotta do is get the damn thing fully working, get results, and finish writing the paper.... admittedly it's doing pretty damn well right now, and I have already written about 3 pages (out of a probable 8-10), but I've still got a lot of work to do in the next week. Goodbye weekend.... it's going to be worth it though, if only to have gotten to write a paper called "Guesswork" (that, and to hopefully get to visit America again, but this time the west coast), which is way better than the earlier title of "Probabilistic ETX/EoRX-based Routing"

For the mildly curious, here's the abstract. This is liable to get re-edited repeatedly over the next week, but it'll do for a start.

Guesswork is an adaptive, probabilistic routing algorithm for Wireless Ad-hoc Sensor Networks, using local knowledge of best guess next-hop nodes to efficiently implement source-to-sink routing. Guesswork is partially based on the existing ETX and EoRX routing methodologies, but extends both in new ways to create a unified robust methodology for sink information distribution and source data transmission. It is designed to work efficently in a wide variety of application scenarios, being able to cope with low reliability links as well as both static and mobile networks
