Today afternoon, I’ve just had a talk with Michael Mascagni about the last forgettable conference at Reading. This year, the MCM2007 was not itself. We did not understand what was happened during this conference. It had a very poor technical program. The only thing that made me satisfy is that I could meet the most of key persons in Monte Carlo and Quasi Monte Carlo method field. And because there were not many people so I could talk with them easily.

For the next MCM conference in 2009, they would organize it in Zurich, Switzerland due to the big financial support from the local organisers. Micheal said that it will not be the same as this year and I hope so. He also suggested me something about the grid based applications which are familiar with my PhD thesis. He is very kind, funny and in some cases is talkative (positive senses of course) . A collaboration with him is not bad, right ? who know.

Return to my PicsouGrid architecture, it is not perfect yet. I have 2 parallel algorithms and I had a problem in synchronization the distributed tasks. I have to finish it as soon as possible to continue my numerical experiments. Another meeting will be held next Thursday. To help me Arnold suggested me to use the method setScatterGroup(). I probably do not like to create many objects at the beginning but it seems there is no way rather than it.

Fine, I spent a couple of hours for these posts. It helps me out of stress.
