My master thesis

Finally I installed Cygwin in my Windows XP box. It seems trivial, but since my computer was replaced I was hesitant to do a dual boot (Windows and Ubuntu). I decided to trial Cygwin because I’ve seen it in action and it seems the perfect blend of Windows and Unix worlds. I can use the bash shell, compilers (g++), even xemacs!

I could compile Gecode from the sources, it takes 8 - 10 minutes and began to examine the examples.
I started a “Wireless Communications” course given by mi tutor: Andrés Navarro in Icesi University, I expect to review CDMA and GSM protocols.

I´ve read:

• “Parallel search in Gecode“, written by Monrten Nielsen as a Master of Science Thesis, his examiner was Dr. Chistian Schulte, Gecode´s father. Is a very useful paper, a clear exposition of the principal concepts in Gecode and its internal architecture.
• GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance: Chapters 1, 2, 3. An introduction (sometimes too technical) to the intricacies in GSM.
