December 2, 2004: Kun Fu received the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award of USC's Computer Science Department for the Fall 2004 semester. He, Wei-shinn Ku (who received the award last year) and Leo Wang were the TAs for my session of the CSci585 "Database Systems" course. Congratulations! I would also like to thank the graders, Moses Pawar and Muralidharan Murugan, and the database administrator Chi-Ngai Wan. Everybody did an outstanding job for this course.

October 8, 2004: We demonstrated live, two-way high definition streaming with the High-performance Data Recording Architecture (HYDRA) between Inha University, Incheon, South Korea, and USC.

September 30, 2004: I attended and presented a paper at the Workshop on Geographic and Biological Data Management (GDBM 2004), in conjunction with the 28th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2004), Hong Kong.

September 28, 2004: The High-performance Data Recording Architecture (HYDRA) was demonstrated at the Fall 2004 Internet2 Member Meeting held at the University of Texas at Austin.
