Temasek Poly Alice programming Competition

Welcome to............

Stop taking snapshot of my handsome face when i eating!(above)

Different Schools that took part(above)

29th of August will be remembered by several secondary schools espically Zhong Hua Secondary School as they clinched top in the ALICE competion held by Temasek Polytechnic while Raffles Secondary School came in runner-up. Our MWC team of students reporters went there to get the first hand information on how the participants felt after the competition.

First runner-up - Raffles Institution (above)

Reporter: Who introduced and taught ‘Alice’ progromming to your group?

Raffles Institution: We got to know this programme through this competition. Nobody really taught us this programme, we did quite a reasonable amount of research online and with the help of our teachers we managed to make our project work.

Reporter: Did you encounter any difficulties ?

Raffles Institution : Computer’s processing speed has been an issue as only our school computers have the programme. We also felt limited in some ways and we did not have much time doing the project as we are preparing for our exams at the same time. Beside these problems, we had no problem with it as we are rather familar with programming.

Reporter: Will you join Temasek Polytechnic’s School of Informatic and IT after your ‘O’ Levels?

Raffles Institution: We will think about it.

Zhong Hua Secondary School(above)

Reporter: Who introduced and taught ‘Alice’ programming your group?

Zhong Hua Secondary School: We got to know this programme when we are in school. Our school send us for the training that was organized and held in Temasek Polytechnic.

Reporter: Did you encounter any difficulties ?

Zhong Hua Secondary School: We had certain constraints but we found an alternative way to solve the problem.

Reporter: Will you join Temasek Polytechnic’s School of Informatic and IT after your ‘O’ Levels?

Zhong Hua Secondary School: Maybe as we do not know if we are able to enter. *Laughs.

IEEE 802.11r

IEEE 802.11r is part of the Wi-Fi Standard. (Wiki) This happened for quite a while, but however, it takes some time for people start to notice it. (Story 1) (Story 2)

Well these stories did not get some of the facts correct. Indeed, IEEE 802.11r roaming faster when compare with IEEE 802.11i (Security)+ IEEE 802.11e (Quality of Service). (See my conference paper). But it is does not do roaming any faster when compare with no security at all.Well just to add on, IEEE 802.11k has become part of Wi-Fi Standard last year 2007.

So some work has completed, some work has just began. IEEE 802.11y, IEEE 802.11z, and IEEE 802.11aa is now work in progress.
