1st Week: Getting Started

    Dr. P. T. gave me 14 documents(*) on the background  and important concepts of CC models and related super servers. I have read half of them by the first meeting. I have understood the big picture of CC and rough idea of how it works and how it benefits a lot in business. However, I am still confused by some concepts and model which are now beyond my understanding.
    We met on Friday afternoon. Dr. P.T. explained what the difficulty is in this project. Also, we may need some time to decide what model and infrastructure will be used till next week. Moreover, Lab size test is required during these days to see whether we need to enlarge the volume of existing lab.  Likely, one of Dr. P.T.'s best student in this field will be available next week, then I will be taught more about the details. To add it, Dr. P.T. told me that some information of Albert Zomaya (University of Sydney, AU) may be useful either simply to introduce to our project or using it as reference.
    The expected work for next week is: i. tutorial , ii. getting started to set up servers, iii. reading more documents.
