In the name of ALLAH, the compassionate, the merciful


Welcome!

My name is Fawzi Sdudah, and I am a new Libyan Wikipedian studying at Queen's University. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia as I undertake my research. This activity helps me in research itself by keeping me tuned, inspired and well-informed. I learn a lot from Wikipedia and so would like to give back.

I have started wikiing since Nov. 2006, but I am a long time client of Wikipedia since its beginnings. At this stage I create stubs, that is, articles with minimal content. It is most likely that I would return back to stubs I create to elaborate on. You may notice that my user page needs "some" clean up. In Wikipedia's terminology it is a stub.

Contributions

Here are the articles I have seeded and some that I have contributed to

Math, Science & Engineering

Ordinal optimization, Greedy source, Lin-Kernighan algorithm, K-opt, 3-opt, 2-opt, K-minimum spanning tree, Robust optimization, Successive linear programming, Bilinear program and Multilevel programming

Other

Opportunity Driven Multiple Access, Teaching dossier, Sabbatical, Information Cycle, Trade documentation, CALM M5, Marking scheme, PhotoReading, At-risk students, Engineering education, Canadian Do Not Call List, Imbakbakah (Libyan macaroni), Mock Interview

I have helped in obtaining permission to use Mathematical Programming Glossary in Wikipedia. Other small stuff like resolving links, correcting typos.

Interests

I am interested and working in the area of Wireless Networks. I am also interested in Operations Research in general and Optimizations in particular, and support the copyleft concept. By the way, do you know what Engineering is and what an Engineer does?

List of publications in mathematics

There is an effort to organize a list of important publications in many areas of science. Such a list captures the major achievements in each field and might be a valuable asset for one trying to learn a new field. The List of publications in computer science is the oldest and most mature list and might show the goal of the lists. The rest of the list need much more contributions. Please try to improve the mathematics related lists:

Neutral point of view

Wikipedia's editorial policy is the "neutral point of view," often abbreviated "NPOV." This policy says that we accept all the significant viewpoints on an issue. Instead of simply stating one perspective, we try to present all relevant viewpoints without judging them. Our aim is to be informative, not persuasive. Our policy does NOT mean that our articles are expected to be 100% "objective," since in any dispute all sides believe their view to be "true."

It's OK to state opinions in articles, but they must be presented as opinions, not as fact. Also, it's a good idea to attribute these opinions, for example "Supporters of this say that..." or "Notable commentator X believes that..."

You might hear Wikipedians referring to an article as "POV." This is Wikipedia slang for a biased article, or one obviously written from a single perspective. Advertising would fall in this category, as would a political diatribe. In a less extreme case, an article might have "POV" problems if it spends significantly more time discussing one view than another view of equivalent significance, even if each view is presented neutrally.

If you're going to spend time on controversial articles in subjects like religion or politics, it's important that you read the neutral point of view policy page as soon as possible. You should probably also read Staying cool when the editing gets hot. If you're going to spend your time on less emotional subjects like math or video games, you should still read the policies, but it's a less pressing concern. Keep in mind the advice here, and read the full policy if an NPOV issue comes up. See also the NPOV tutorial.

Publishing, Open Publishing and IP

Academia

"that brings these authors and their institutions their rewards (employment, promotion, tenure, grants, prizes, prestige)." in Eprints: Electronic Preprints and Postprints, Stevan Harnad.

Ph.D

"GETTING PUBLISHED is important for promotion and tenure in the academic community, and publication can do much to bolster the careers of engineers in industry. Have you ever published a paper in an IEEE transactions journal? [snip]. Some say that one transactions paper can be worth four conference papers in terms of prestige. If you’re already a university professor, transactions publications help you become better known and can lead toward being elected an IEEE Fellow or to receiving other awards and honors." from Tips for Getting A Transactions Article Published

"Plagiarism is a growing concern for many organizations, including the IEEE. The number of instances reported in IEEE publications has been rising steadily, with 14 in 2004, 26 in 2005, and 47 in 2006." from The Plagiarism Problem: Now You Can Help BY ANNA BOGDANOWICZ

" The guidelines recognize that it is common in technical publishing for material to be presented at various stages of its evolution. As one example, this can take the form of publishing early ideas in a workshop, more developed work in a conference and fully developed contributions as journal or transactions papers. This publication process is an important means of scientific communication. At the same time, however, the IEEE requires that this evolutionary process be fully referenced by the author." from [ http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/rights/Multi_Sub_Guidelines_Intro.html Introduction to Guidelines on Multiple Submission and Prior Publication]

LESSONS LEARNED ... He notes that conference proceedings have timely and peer-reviewed papers that are not as old as the information found in journals. Also, Google Scholar often takes users to information that is older than papers that members could get directly from IEEE Xplore, because the IEEE does not release its newest material to Google. from How Today's Techies Work BY KATHY KOWALENKO

  • Acknowledgment of the source makes a use fair. Giving the name of the photographer or author may help, but it is not sufficient on its own. While plagiarism and copyright violation are related matters—both can, at times, involve failure to properly credit sources—they are not identical. Copyright law protects exact expression, not ideas: for example, a distant paraphrase that lays out the same argument as a copyrighted essay is in little danger of being deemed a copyright violation, but it could still be plagiarism. On the other hand, one can plagiarize even a work that is not protected by copyright, such as trying to pass off a line from Shakespeare as your own. Plagiarism—using someone's words, ideas images, etc. without acknowledgment—is a matter of professional ethics. Copyright is a matter of law. Citing sources generally prevents accusations of plagiarism, but is not a sufficient defense against copyright violations (otherwise, anyone could legally reprint an entire copyrighted book just by citing who wrote it). Check the entire article, Fair use.
  • "A provincial act called the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act Revised. R.S.O. 1987 c.25 ensures free access of individuals to public records and information about themselves. In other words, a student has the right to see a copy of your recommendation unless s/he is willing to sign a waiver. If you have no objections, this problem can be circumvented by giving a copy of the recommendation to the student." A Handbook for Teaching Assistants, p.48,Queen's University, 2005

New BibTex2Word2007

BibTex2Word2007 is a BibTex to Word 2007 Bibliography (References) Converter based on the awk programming language. Alpha version completed today 3:14 AM, Tuesday, March 13, 2007. So far to this writing, I have never found any tool like this online. That is why I have developed it myself.

Also check this if you use JabRef bibliography manager. You can backup selected pdf files by feeding a list of entries in a bibtex file. Useful if you want to send them to your supervisor or a colleague.
