Well, had promised a post about the trip to Morelia ENC'2007 but before that (and before I forget) I wanted to say about San Luis Potosi and ENC'2006, which was the first trip (and last) I did during the Masters. This was around September 2006, we were in the fourth quarter as research and presented the opportunity to publish a paper at the Workshop Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing. By the way, this article and others will soon be available in publications section on my personal site. Pictured from left to right, Ivan Estrella, Carlos Cordova and a server.
The first day passed uneventfully, as well as identify the area found near the hotel and restaurants (which give bill) we had to get to finish preparing the presentations for the workshop. The second day, Luis E. Palafox (companion of the research group) and Ivan gave a tutorial programming wireless sensor networks and Carlos and I support the development of a workshop. At night, rain, rain and the loss of Ivan (which was making use of the library's wireless network), but later appeared in the hotel room after one to two hours. Third day, introduction. As he was still working with the thesis, my paper was on the progress that led from the analysis to design, already had a working prototype but still needed all the evaluation process.
Leaving that day, and we could walk around the city center. At first everything without news, but as we approached the center, we began to see interesting buildings everywhere.
What was most impressive was the golden on all buildings, according to this, San Luis Potosi is registered as a City Light, all old buildings are decorated with lights, for example in light of the facade of the theater changed tones. As a curiosity (not I was touched to see), businesses such as banks, pharmacies, etc. have facades according to the architecture (such as Oxxo photo) which is fine.
Another curious fact, though it was about 10 pm, there were many people in the center to several carriages and children on all sides, there was an eclipse or brought the wrong time or level, the city is very safe. On the fifth day we return to the center before the start of the other conferences in college.
One of the talks that caught my eye most was one where they talked about the B-trees. Not that the issue has had much to do with my work, what struck me is how the presenter outlined his ideas. In the picture, for example, is when I was talking about how he became interested in the subject, as seen in most of their slides was hand drawn and then scanned as explained when asked.
to time give to take an occasional joke, as the slide of "overview" in the absence of more people who understand English and do not hit much at first and the translation was lost some grace .
Well, that was generally the trip. In short: very nice city, good food and lots of culture everywhere. Too bad we always find the theater closed but we could go to one of two museums. Well, next post: visits to Leon and Guanajuato ENC'2006 return to and then to publish it in Morelia. There are many more photos in this gallery before returning, I took a map and I was taking pictures of tourist spot tourist spot. Missing picture of a military building, after taking it, a captain commanded a soldier for me, to avoid further injuries and because of the shock (of course if nothing else heard "bring me that $#%!"), I deleted the photo and showed that it had no pictures of the barracks. By the way, thanks to my friends who went to rescue me (yes, of course, were already fled and more than 200 meters when I reached the military).
