Message from the editor
Welcome to the latest issue of iWorld. Hope everyone is doing well. As for me, life is quite hectic. I am busy with teaching summer school, trying to finish papers before the deadlines of the conferences approach, supervising numerous graduate( MSc and PhD) students, visiting companies to examine their project proposals, organizing private computer courses, grading exams and doing some administrative stuff at our computer engineering department.
It gives me great pleasure to be a part of IHouse community as an Editor-in-Chief of iWorld. I believe it is very important to keep the connection with the iHouse community and the friends we made at the time. iWorld serves as a great tool for this purpose. When I read iWorld, I get a chance to hear how some of my iHouse friends and staff are doing, and this makes me really happy.
I would like to thank Sarvelia Peralta-Duran, the Alumni Relations Director at iHouse, for her great efforts to keep iWorld alive.
I would like to thank all the alumni who shared their stories with us. Please keep in touch by contributing to iWorld.
Best regards from Turkey, M. Fatih Akay( 2001 – 2005)
