My paper published in New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia and preparing for PhD defense

First of all, apologies for not writing to my blog for a while, I've been extremely busy finishing off the thesis, doing work for Nokia Research Center Beijing, and travelling. I just came back from a business trip last week to Helsinki, Finland talking about my research for Nokia about Web 2.0 and social networks.

Anyways, I have great news to say that my paper on Automatic detection of cohesive subgroups within social hypertext: A heuristic approach has been published in the New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia, a top-tiered journal for hypertext. I'm so ecstatic!

I'm currently busy now preparing for my PhD defense which happens in about 2 weeks. I can't believe that I'm almost towards the end of the PhD after about 5 roller-coaster years. It is just a great feeling to know that all these 5 years were all worth it, for my career. Then, everyone of you call me Dr. GadgetMan!

Journal paper submitted and Hypertext 2008

I finally submitted a journal paper today based on the latest results from my PhD thesis. Hypertext 2008 is on Friday of this week (June 20) and goes unto Saturday June 21 in Pittsburgh. I would love to be there but circumstances prevent me from doing so. Either way, I will track what's going on through Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and the blog. You can network virtually with Hypertext 2008 attendees. For those who are going, have a great time there and link with others!
