I just came back from my ICDE trip in Shanghai, China. It's a great experience. Limited by time, I won't write too much about the whole thing. What I liked the most was the poster session - all full papers and shot papers were there. I had much fun talking to a lot of people about their work and my work. The direct interaction gave me much more useful information than listening to talks or giving a talk. I hope this can be carried over to SIGMOD and VLDB, too. My talk went smoothly and I had some nice discussions afterwards with a few people who were doing related work.
Re-union with old friends is always great fun. Meeting fellow graduates from U of M is always joyful. I haven't seen most of my friends from HKUST for quite some time. Many of them are now faculty or researchers. I am very happy for their accomplishments. Good luck to all of them who are about to start their new job!
In the summer, I will be interning at IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California. Given the number of UM (especially dbgroup) graduates in IBM, I believe I will feel right home. From end of June to early July, I will be at SIGMOD conference in Rhode Island. It would be a nice break from the internship work.
