You’re running the system on the same server for months. Nothing ever happened. You are testing your code. Extensively. Then you launch.
And what happens 12 hours later??? A RAM defect on the server. That’s really unfair…
Thanks to David, we could replace it quite fast, so C-LINK was “only” down from 10 to 10.45 am. Enough hardware trouble, now we hope to have some more fun with the system 
After lots of coding, extensive testing (thanks a lot to all the beta testers in the KM group of DFKI!) and unexpected last minute problems (as expected, of course) we launched C-LINK today!
C-LINK is a web based tool that allows attendees of the KI 2008 conference to organize their conference.
Amongst others, features are:
As you can imagine (why else would you find this post here!?), it is based on ALOE. For the recommendations, DynaQ is used in a combination with myCBR.
We’re very excited and look forward to what happens now!
Shame on me, I didn’t blog for such a long time, although (or maybe: because) such a lot of things happened. E.g., we are partner in
the European project MACE for several months now - they use ALOE as a social layer to allow commenting, rating, tagging, and personal collections of resources. Furthermore, ALOE is used as the basis for the C-LINK system (a web based tool to support conference attendees) that will be released in two weeks. The refactoring is almost done, so a new ALOE version will be available very soon. And so on, and so on, and so on…
In the moment, I’m attending the TRIPLE-I in Graz, where I will present some work done by Rafael Schirru, Michael Kockler and me. It’s called “Providing Multi Source Tag Recommendations in a Social Resource Sharing Platform”. Slides will be available soon, as well as detailed information about MACE, C-LINK, the refactoring…so stay tuned!
