Asia Future Internet Forum
by Michuki Mwangi 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Hi Skunks, Happening this week is the Asia Future Internet Forum - Summer School meeting for 2010. Where Students from various universities in Asia (China, Japan, Korea, etc) meet up and present on research work into the future of internet. Looking at the topic presentations (see the bottom of url) am quite impressed at the fact that more of the folks are doing their masters program and not phd's. And this is just a part of the coursework!... Am curious to know - What can one expect to find in a masters coursework at a local University in the Region? http://asiafi.net/meeting/2010/summerschool/ Regards, Michuki.
