I will be facilitating/ moderating the second session of the International Symposium on ICT for Health. It will feature paper presentations on Medical Imaging, Instrumentation and Informatics. Below is the schedule of presentations and their titles:
- 3:15pm - 3:45pm : J. Liu, J.H. Lim, D. Racoceanu, W.W.K. Damon and H. Li, “Leaking detection for medical image segmentation,” France and Singapore.
- 3:45pm - 4:15pm : A. Gavino, P. Tolentino, A. Bernal and A. Marcelo,”Analysis of telereferrals from doctors-to-the-barrios sent via Short Messaging System,” Philippines.
- 4:15pm - 4:40pm : R. Kunthy, Y. Urano, K. Marry and S. Socheat, “Pilot installation of e-health system connected from central hospital to rural community in Kandal Province, Cambodia distributed by wireless LAN network,” Japan.
- 4:40pm - 5:05pm : J. Pabico, “A simple ant model for aligning sequences,” Philippines.
- 5:05pm - 5:30pm : R.J. Miguel, V.M. Dizon, M. Abundo and L. Sison, “Bluetooth-enabled medical instrumentation,” Philippines.
- edit: 5:30pm - 5:55pm : J. Milla, “Use of IT in a hospital setting: The Medical City case,” Philippines
Authors whose name are italicized are the ones who will conduct the presentation.
ICT4Health resulted from Ateneo’s collaboration with several partners from the ONCO-MEDIA project. Its main focus is to use grid computing technologies to support information retrieval operations on medical images using context. We hope that this event will facilitate generation of new partners from several institutions in the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, Asia and France.
Additional program details of the session:
- ICT4Health2008: Session on Medical Imaging, Instrumentation and Informatics
- Session moderator: Allan Espinosa, Assistant Instructor, Electronics, Computer and Communications Engineering Department, Ateneo de Manila University
- Date: Friday 2008 February 29, 3:15pm - 5:30pm [add to your Google Calendar]
- Venue: SOM 111 (Ching Tan Room), Ateneo de Manila University.[Google Maps]

Day 2 of the 8th Philippine Computing Congress. I presented our deparment’s work on wireless logistics. It is a project commissioned by the Tropical Disease Foundation to monitor TB drug deliveries around the country.
Title: Design and engineering of a supply chain management system for drug delivery applications
Authors: A. Espinosa, N. Libatique, G. Tangonan, M. L. Guico, J. Wong, J. Marciano, J. Villeres
Abstract
Using RFID technologies, this paper reports a proof-of-concept design
and deployment for tracking expensive medical supplies for
tuberculosis patients. The supply chain starts from the distribution
centers down to regional health units. The supply chain tracking
system features the novel use of an integrated subversion based
staging server to provide data synchronization between the various
distribution centers and a remote backend database.

I presented last Feb 23 a paper documenting the commissioning of our new Beowulf cluster. The 8th Philippine Computing Congress was held in University of the Philippines–Diliman. My presentation was held at the new Computer Science building (beside the EEE building).
Here is a short description of the paper:
Title: Building and Benchmarking a New Beowulf Cluster for Grid Computing and Other Applications
Authors: Allan Espinosa and Rafael Saldana
Abstract
In this paper, we report our upgrade of our AGILA Beowulf cluster. Commodity desktop computers were used for the compute nodes. The server node was set-up as a high-end server class machine to house terabytes of data from the university’s scientific computing applications such as cellular automata, molecular dynamics, mesoscale climate modeling, and computational models requiring high performance computing infrastructures.
Embedded below is my presentation. Enjoy!

To Beshr:
The vanilla install of Rockscluster 4.3 uses version 2.6.9-55EL of the linux kernel. Native support for the Realtek 8111B (r8168) did not come until 2.6.19.xx. I downloaded 2.6.23.13 from kernel.org. After rebuilding the kernel, you have to enable the kernel to map the hardware ID of the device to the correct module (r8169). Here is an archive of the files that I used to build the driver:
rocks-boot-drivers.tar.gz: I added the r8168 directory and modified the subdirs file to build this module for the kernel. It actually does not build anything since there are no entries in the SOURCE variable of the Makefile. Extract this tarball to your Rocks CVS tree ($ROCKS-SRC-ROOT/src/roll/kernel/src/rocks-boot/enterprise/4/images) The following entry was added to drivers/r8168/:
<br />0x10ec 0x8168 "r8169" "RealTek RTL8168B/8111B, RTL8168C/8111C Gigabit Ethernet controller<br />
Where 0×10ec 0×8168 is the hardware ID of my GigE controller.
Then I followed the instructions Creating a Custom Kernel RPM and Adding a Device Driver of the User Guide.
Good luck in building your cluster!
