NOSSDAV 2007

NOSSDAV 2007 has some rather interesting papers on IPTV, so it is worth to check the conference's website.

Internship in Telefonica R&D, Barcelona

I have been a little quiet for some time because I am now in Telefonica Research Labs in Barcelona, so I've been quite busy moving, finding a place, etc. I am here for a 3 or 6 month internship as part of my PhD. I am working on "user profiling for IPTV". I have lots (hundreds of GB!) of interesting data from Imagenio (Telefonica's IPTV service) - switching logs, EPG (Electronic Program Guide) information - to analyse.

This data is very useful for user profiling and recommendation systems (to be used for targeted advertisement, for instance), and I am sure will also be useful for my PhD research, as input to my simulations.
