Last week, a colleague asked:
"What's the difference between the Engineering Association and the Engineers' Union?"
At the time I could not give him a straight answer, but after some tought, I think it comes down to this:
The Association protects Engineering; The Union protects Engineers.

Na semana passada, um colega perguntou:
"Qual a diferença entre a Ordem dos Engenheiros e o Sindicato dos Engenheiros?"
Na altura não lhe consegui responder de forma simples, mas depois de pensar um pouco, acho que se resume ao seguinte:
A Ordem dos Engenheiros protege a Engenharia; O Sindicato protege os Engenheiros.

PhD Position Paper - v1.0
Today I finished the first complete version of my position paper. One month late according to my original planning.
The title is "Computer science research for the Internet of Things". The paper is about the forthcoming widespread use of smart things, like RFID tags and sensors, along with omnipresent wireless networks, that will create an Internet of Things (IoT), where most everyday objects will be interconnected and part of an universal-purpose system akin to the Internet.
This position paper looks at the IoT in a computer science research perspective. It identifies the main challenges to address and points to a set of possible research paths. It also provides some insight into what will change in the way information systems are designed and used in the IoT era.
The paper is still not ready for publishing, but it's ready to be sent to my Advisor so we can discuss the written ideas.
In short, the PhD prologue still isn't over, but I'm making progress...
All the best!
