Again, Autumn…

Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right - Bob Dylan

+ These days, I have to cope with several jobs that will form my future! It includes taking TOEFL and GRE exam, completing an old research project, working on my MS Thesis,and making some important life-related decisions! I hope to breath a sigh of relief after 25 October!

+ Incremental Blogging Using Twitter: I think for those who are very busy and have no additional time for blogging, Twitter is a remedial solution! Just write a few sentences whenever you are free. After a month, start to glean them and create a post on your blog! As easy as drinking a glass of water!
This approach has many advantages in comparison with traditional blogging: You can get feedback about each part of your post from your friends, you can use Synergy principle, you can memorize diverse range of events and you can enjoy your time!

+ I have started working on my MS Thesis that will be about “Semantic Enterprise Mashups“. Acceptance of my paper in APSCC-08 was a good starting point. I aim to propose a mathematical model for semi-automatic creation of Enterprise Mashups using Semantic descriptions.

Memoirs of Sydney…

Travel to  Sydney was a unique experience for me. The first international conference that I was involved in,The longest journey that I have ever had, The first foreign country that I visited lonely and a lot of unique experiences like these sort of things! I had this chance to visit a beautiful multicultural country and view the world outside of my hometown.
It was really a novel experience (and tiresome!) for me to  fly about 16 hours above seas and oceans; Migrating from a hot summer to a cool winter! When I arrived to Sydney, I was confused !It was about 11 a.m locally but not for me!I felt that everything is turning around my head! Hardly I could adopt myslef with new situation after a deep sleep! I lost the introduction of the conference easily but never mind!Better late than never! After finding a convenient accommodation I was ready to get off to city! It was easy to find conference venue beacuse it was near the hotel and using my feet it took only 10 minutes to go there! According to my plan,I had 5 days for doing scientific works and 4 days for social and entertaining works! Conference was hold in University of Technology(UTS), the atmosphere of conference was very friendly,I found many good friends from different places of the world.Most of them were PhD students or associate professors or above!They helped me to adopt myself with new situation,learn about different cultures,and specially different foods! I tried to do my best at presentation and I think the result was very good At the end of the conference, with the information I had received from one of my new friends I planned to go to university of new south wales(UNSW) to meet professor Benatallah, one of the greatest researchers in the area of service computing.It was incredible for me to have an appointment with him;By chance,I found an iranian student under supervision of him.Hamidreza and his wife were studyng at UNSW,it was my pleasure to meet them and have a good time with them and use their experiences.I hope to see them again in Iran!

+ I want to write more about my short stay at Sydney (Specially World Youth Day 2008!) but at this moment I have no time! Future maybe help me

Happy birthday to me…

Believe it or not , but I turn 25 today. (Getting lonely, getting old Can you feel me?)

+ Today was a memorial day for me! I think it was my best birthday day! I heard a lot of good and surprising news today. I estimated my success rate for today using data mining techniques! It was above 85% . I have many works to do in recent days! Saturday is my last exam, Data Mining!

+ I’m going to travel to Sydney a few days later, I aim to participate in CIT2008 and visit Australia! Also, my second paper was accepted in ICWS2008 after a hard review process. Its title is “A Framework for Distributed Market Place based on Intelligent Software Agents and Semantic Web Services“.

Google, Please Stop Your Jet Engine…

I’m one of the Google’s followers,I’m accustomed of Google Reader, it is wonderful,without wasting your time and in a relaxed environment(without annoying ads) with power of Ajax, you can read infinite articles,you can share and discover knowledge, you can enjoy your life.It makes life on the web easier…

- I can’t surf the web without gateway of Google home page,It is starting point of every web browser…

- I use Google Calendar to schedule my daily programs and check my free times with my friends to suggest a good time for making an appointment…
- I find my friends on Orkut and experience social web with it.
- I use Gmail to send emails faster, I forward my email accounts to Yahoo! because I can.There is no limitation,no obligation…

Google is an impotant part of my life,without its dynamic logo, life is too hard! I love Google because it hasn’t obligatory manner,It respects customers,It doesn’t behave like others,It likes innovation and allows greats ideas to born…
However these days I am worry about new strategies and new thoughts that i see at Google products,Google wants to work like a platform,It wants to capture the web. This approach seems good from viewpoint of easier life, but i smell a rat!

Today i saw AJAX Libraries API, a content distribution network and loading architecture for the most popular open source JavaScript libraries.It is in direction of Google’s new strategy (Google App Engine),I had seen this idea in YUI library to speed up invoking JS scripts, but Google wants to cover all the libraries!
Google shouldn’t get self conceited! It is true that Google is unique ,however it is a platform for allowing novel ideas to be happen not exclusive platform that prevents others from thinking and making ideas!Google should not be a new Microsoft! I hope that my imaginations aren’t real and Google will continue its lovely way in future…

Welcome to the real world…

Life isn’t like in the movies. Life… is much harder!?

A City on the Hill…

These days, we are in celebration of Nowruz, beginning of the Iranian year. During the Nowruz holidays people are expected to visit one another (mostly limited to families, friends and neighbors) in the form of short house visits, which are usually reciprocated. Most people in Iran believe that whatever a person does on Nowruz will affect the rest of the year. So, if a person is warm and kind to their relatives, friends and neighbors on Nowruz, then the New Year will be a good one.

Today, I had this opportunity to visit a historical place called Uzbak Hill. Before this, I had tried so much for visiting this place but I couldn’t get authorization to enter the place! It was wonderful but with very regret! Uzbak Hill is 3500 years old and was the center of power for first Aryan governments. It is located in a small village in Nazarabad city near Tehran (85KM west). The first brick (adobe) that was built by human being was found in this region. Mr. Khatami in his presidency donated a brick from this place to United Nation as a symbol for world cultural communications. When I saw the place I felt that it is a forgotten sign of our culture that is abandoned and damaged! It needs more attention! I took some photograph from Uzbak Hill:

Spring is coming…

“We must become the change we want to see in the world.“- Mahatma Gandhi

 + We are living in a world that is facing many risks and Risks are of vital part of our lives, Risks that we feel explicitly or implicitly. Global Risks are increasing and seriously affect our lives. If we are looking to a better future, it is inevitable to consider risks and their side effects. In our decisions, each element should be properly organized to make risk mitigation as much as possible. Today, I was browsing World Economic Forum website and looked at its global risk program. It was good information about different types of risks around us: Economic Risks, Environmental Risks, Technological Risks and Geopolitical Risks. Noticeable point was that Middle East and especially Iran plays an important role in many Geopolitical Risks. Stability of this region can affect world economics,but in recent years we see many conflicts in this region .These conflicts stem from hyper power governments that are seeking their benefits in this region.I hope to see face of peace in Middle East!

+Today i had this chance to go to Tochal with my good friends,Tochal is a beautiful mountain at north of Tehran. Weather was very cool and i enjoyed talking with my friends about everything from Tech to Life. I saw an old man with high degree of power and hope for life, stronger that many modern young boys! 

We are near Norooz(Celebration of new year in Iran),and Today was a good time for me to think about past year , activities and progress that i made.I hope to improve my knowledge in new year and make a good strategic plan for my life!Life is not only life!

+Today I received good news; it was acceptance of my paper in CIT2008! My paper was about a semantic web service oriented model for project management. As my first experience, it was hopeful and promising event.

Brain Market Space…

Frozen Inside…

“A little knowledge that acts is worth more than much
knowledge that is idle.“—Kahil Gibran

+ Snow,Snow,Snow…It was wonderful! All the schools are closed beacuse of heavy snow that was unique since 50 recent years! Weather conditions like other elements of our complex world are unpredictable,One day you suffer from warmness and another they you enjoy it! Random happiness is more pleasurable than prepared one, shine on my crazy diamond…

+ University,exams,papers,… All the closed books are opened! Enthusiasm,Disillusionment,Panic,Search for the guilty and Punishment of the innocent.Life is life…

Division Bell…

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There’s a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we’ve been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever…
