Unemployment
2019-02-05T10:09:36Z
<p>WikiSysop: </p>
<hr />
<div>(Updated 2/2019) If your fellowship is over, but your Ph.D. is not, you can ask for unemployment benefit in Belgium. Your are not required to be Belgian for this. It is enough that you worked '''XXX''' days in the last years in Belgium (should be 2 full years). Another important requirement is that you payed the relative taxes within your fellowship, and this is usually the case. Probably you did not notice it because it was done directly by ULB.<br />
<br />
There are several entities involved in the unemployment benefit. The first, and probably the most important for you, is the [http://www.onem.fgov.be/ ONEM]. They are the ones who actually have the money. You will seldom deal with them though.<br />
<br />
The people that will pay you will be either a trade union ([http://www.csc-en-ligne.be/ CSC], [http://www.fgtb.be/ FGTB] or [http://www.cgslb.be/ CGSLB]) or the public agency, the [http://www.capac.fgov.be/ CAPAC]. The advantage of a trade union is that usually the inscription process is faster, but you will probably have to pay a fee each month. The CAPAC is free of charges, but waiting in their offices can be ''really'' painful. In the following, I will refer for simplicity only to the CAPAC.<br />
<br />
Then, there is [http://www.actiris.be ACTIRIS]. This is an organisation that helps you looking for jobs. You '''MUST''' inscribe to it to obtain the unemployment benefit. Inscribe to the ACTIRIS website immediately after your contract ends (e.g. the first unpayed day), and then inscribe to the CAPAC. <br />
<br />
Finally, we have your Commune. You have to go there twice a month (3rd and 26th of each month) and stamp a card you will be given by CAPAC.<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT''': go as soon as possible to the CAPAC, also if you do not have all the documents yet. The first "stamp" day is the 3rd. If you go later, you will have to use one or more of your "holidays", and you can use only 24 days each year!<br />
<br />
Here is the checklist of what you should do:<br />
<br />
* Start planning some weeks before the end of your contract, the earlier you apply, the earlier you'll get the money.<br />
* Contact the Human Resource Office of ULB, "Service Paiements des Personnels Enseignant et Scientifique". You can write directly to Mme Meys, the person that, at the time of writing, will fill for you the "Certificat de Chomage", a.k.a. C4. You can then ask for it to be mailed to your home, or you can go and pick it up at her office in building S (best option, as bpost can be randomly slow).<br />
* Inscribe to ACTIRIS.<br />
* Go to the CAPAC (or to a trade union) with the C4, the proof of inscription to ACTIRIS, you bank account number and your Belgian ID card (eID). It's possible to book an appointment on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, do that if you can (you can't go on Fridays, and on Monday and Thursday you'll wait for hours). Book an appointment some weeks in advance, as the available slots can get booked rather quickly. Try to get an appointment few days after the end of your contract.<br />
* At the CAPAC, you'll get inscribed in their registers, and you'll receive some blue cards, one per month. On these blue cards you'll have to mark which days you're sick, on holiday, working, or unavailable for any other reason. It will take more or less four weeks for your application to be processed, then, fingers crossed, you'll receive a letter telling you how much you'll get. At that point, you can bring the first blue card to the CAPAC and, some days later, you'll receive your first allocation de chomage. For this you don't need to book an appointment or wait for hours, you can go there and leave it in the big box at the entrance. If you want to be sure that everything is ok, you can queue for the reception desk, they'll check your card and tell you to put it in the box.<br />
* For the following months, you can bring the blue card at the end of each month, or download and use the ONEM app (more on this below).<br />
* At a certain point you'll receive a letter+mail+text from ACTIRIS, calling you for a first meeting (more on this below).<br />
<br />
Addresses, opening times, and telephone numbers can be found on the web sites of the organisations.<br />
<br />
'''The blue cards''' Every blue card covers one month. For each day for the month there is a box, you'll leave it empty if nothing special happens on that day, you'll have to mark it with a M if you're sick, a V if you're on holiday, A means you're unavailable for any other reason, and you'll black it if you're working (payed). This is important because the CAPAC will pay you the normal days, but, for example, the sickness days will be covered by the mutuelle, and you'll need to specify you're on vacation if ACTIRIS calls you for a meeting but you cannot go.<br />
<br />
''' The ONEM app''' This app replaces the blue cards, so you can avoid going to the CAPAC to deposit them (you'll still have to go for the first one, anyway). The app is called [https://www.onem.be/fr/nouveau/nouvelle-application-mobile-la-carte-de-controle-electronique-ec3 eC3], and is available on the Belgian version of the Android/iOS app stores (check your settings, you won't find it otherwise). You'll also need the itsme app to log in (you might have to use an eID card reader to install it), but if you're using e.g. the ING app you probably already have it.<br />
<br />
'''Your online CAPAC file''' You can check your CAPAC dossier in the CAPAC website ([https://capac-hvw.fgov.be/fr/mon-dossier-capac French], [https://capac-hvw.fgov.be/nl/mijn-hvw-dossier-0 Flemish], [https://capac-hvw.fgov.be/de/meine-akte-hfa German], forget about English). It's very useful to track your payments, and your 'daily activity' (what you marked on the blue cards / in the ONEM app). To login, you need an eID card reader that you can buy for ca. 20€. If everything goes fine, during your PhD you won't need one, but at this point you better buy one, or have one readily available. Most likely, this is also the first time you need the PIN code that was given to you by the commune when you first registered as resident in Belgium, good luck finding that paper.<br />
<br />
'''If you get sick''' Don't. Please don't, it's a pain in the ass. But if you really cannot avoid it, and have to call a doctor, you'll have to ask for a certificate of inability to work, to be brought to the mutuelle in at most 2 working days. Every day covered by the certificate will have to be marked with a M on the blue card, because it will be payed by the mutuelle and not by the CAPAC; if you're actually sick but don't want to call a doctor and get a certificate, then don't mark anything on the card. Every time you go to the mutuelle, explicitely ask what are the following steps you need to take.<br />
<br />
'''When you get the money''' Double check that you got what you expected, taking into account the automatic reductions of the due amount (after the first three months, etc). Pay extra attention in case other entities are involved. For example, the communications between the mutuelle and the CAPAC is transparent to you, meaning that they spare you the major pain in the ass of going back and forth and wasting long hours queuing at their offices, but also that you are not in control of what happens. Thus, if you received less money than expected, go and ask for information at the mutuelle first (usually easier and quicker than to go to the CAPAC), it might be that they messed something up, and they might require you to fix it up.<br />
<br />
'''Meeting with ACTIRIS''' After some time, you'll be notified by ACTIRIS that you have to go to their offices for a first information session about the job search process. In this meeting they'll explain you the whole process with ACTIRIS, and they'll assign you to a tutor that will assist you in the job search. This first meeting used to happen months after your first inscription to the CAPAC, but it now happens in the second month of your unemployment. Presence is mandatory. If you cannot go, you'll have to contact them, tell them you'll be on holiday, and they will call you for the following week. Spoiler: it's a wasted hour, they could have sent you a flyer at home, but you have to go anyway. Cheers.</div>

<hr />
<div>(Updated 12/2018) If your fellowship is over, but your Ph.D. is not, you can ask for unemployment benefit in Belgium. Your are not required to be Belgian for this. It is enough that you worked '''XXX''' days in the last years in Belgium (should be 2 full years). Another important requirement is that you payed the relative taxes within your fellowship, and this is usually the case. Probably you did not notice it because it was done directly by ULB.<br />
<br />
There are several entities involved in the unemployment benefit. The first, and probably the most important for you, is the [http://www.onem.fgov.be/ ONEM]. They are the ones who actually have the money. You will seldom deal with them though.<br />
<br />
The people that will pay you will be either a trade union ([http://www.csc-en-ligne.be/ CSC], [http://www.fgtb.be/ FGTB] or [http://www.cgslb.be/ CGSLB]) or the public agency, the [http://www.capac.fgov.be/ CAPAC]. The advantage of a trade union is that usually the inscription process is faster, but you will probably have to pay a fee each month. The CAPAC is free of charges, but waiting in their offices can be ''really'' painful. In the following, I will refer for simplicity only to the CAPAC.<br />
<br />
Then, there is [http://www.actiris.be ACTIRIS]. This is an organisation that helps you looking for jobs. You '''MUST''' inscribe to it to obtain the unemployment benefit. Inscribe to the ACTIRIS website immediately after your contract ends (e.g. the first unpayed day), and then inscribe to the CAPAC. <br />
<br />
Finally, we have your Commune. You have to go there twice a month (3rd and 26th of each month) and stamp a card you will be given by CAPAC.<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT''': go as soon as possible to the CAPAC, also if you do not have all the documents yet. The first "stamp" day is the 3rd. If you go later, you will have to use one or more of your "holidays", and you can use only 24 days each year!<br />
<br />
Here is the checklist of what you should do:<br />
<br />
* Start planning some weeks before the end of your contract, the earlier you apply, the earlier you'll get the money.<br />
* Contact the Human Resource Office of ULB, "Service Paiements des Personnels Enseignant et Scientifique". You can write directly to Mme Meys, the person that, at the time of writing, will fill for you the "Certificat de Chomage", a.k.a. C4. You can then ask for it to be mailed to your home, or you can go and pick it up at her office in building S (best option, as bpost can be randomly slow).<br />
* Inscribe to ACTIRIS.<br />
* Go to the CAPAC (or to a trade union) with the C4, the proof of inscription to ACTIRIS, you bank account number and your Belgian ID card (eID). It's possible to book an appointment on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, do that if you can (you can't go on Fridays, and on Monday and Thursday you'll wait for hours). Book an appointment some weeks in advance, as the available slots can get booked rather quickly. Try to get an appointment few days after the end of your contract.<br />

In this meeting they'll explain you the whole process with ACTIRIS, and they'll assign you to a tutor that will assist you in the job search. This first meeting used to happen months after your first inscription to the CAPAC, but it now happens in the second month of your unemployment. Presence is mandatory. If you cannot go, you'll have to contact them, tell them you'll be on holiday, and they will call you for the following week. Spoiler alert: it's a wasted hour, they could have sent you a flyer at home, but you have to go anyway. Cheers.</div>

<hr />
<div>(Updated 12/2018) If your fellowship is over, but your Ph.D. is not, you can ask for unemployment benefit in Belgium. Your are not required to be Belgian for this. It is enough that you worked '''XXX''' days in the last years in Belgium (should be 2 full years). Another important requirement is that you payed the relative taxes within your fellowship, and this is usually the case. Probably you did not notice it because it was done directly by ULB.<br />
<br />
There are several entities involved in the unemployment benefit. The first, and probably the most important for you, is the [http://www.onem.fgov.be/ ONEM]. They are the ones who actually have the money. You will seldom deal with them though.<br />
<br />
The people that will pay you will be either a trade union ([http://www.csc-en-ligne.be/ CSC], [http://www.fgtb.be/ FGTB] or [http://www.cgslb.be/ CGSLB]) or the public agency, the [http://www.capac.fgov.be/ CAPAC]. The advantage of a trade union is that usually the inscription process is faster, but you will probably have to pay a fee each month. The CAPAC is free of charges, but waiting in their offices can be ''really'' painful. In the following, I will refer for simplicity only to the CAPAC.<br />
<br />
Then, there is [http://www.actiris.be ACTIRIS]. This is an organisation that helps you looking for jobs. You '''MUST''' inscribe to it to obtain the unemployment benefit. Inscribe to the ACTIRIS website immediately after your contract ends (e.g. the first unpayed day), and then inscribe to the CAPAC. <br />
<br />
Finally, we have your Commune. You have to go there twice a month (3rd and 26th of each month) and stamp a card you will be given by CAPAC.<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT''': go as soon as possible to the CAPAC, also if you do not have all the documents yet. The first "stamp" day is the 3rd. If you go later, you will have to use one or more of your "holidays", and you can use only 24 days each year!<br />
<br />
Here is the checklist of what you should do:<br />
<br />
* Start planning some weeks before the end of your contract, the earlier you apply, the earlier you'll get the money.<br />
* Contact the Human Resource Office of ULB, "Service Paiements des Personnels Enseignant et Scientifique". You can write directly to Mme Meys, the person that, at the time of writing, will fill for you the "Certificat de Chomage", a.k.a. C4. You can then ask for it to be mailed to your home, or you can go and pick it up at her office in building S (best option, as bpost can be randomly slow).<br />
* Inscribe to ACTIRIS.<br />
* Go to the CAPAC (or to a trade union) with the C4, the proof of inscription to ACTIRIS, you bank account number and your Belgian card. It's possible to book an appointment on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, do that if you can (you can't go on Fridays, and on Monday and Thursday you'll wait for hours). Book an appointment some weeks in advance, as the available slots can get booked rather quickly. Try to get an appointment few days after the end of your contract.<br />
* At the CAPAC, you'll get inscribed in their registers, and you'll receive some blue cards, one per month. On these blue cards you'll have to mark which days you're sick, on holiday, working, or unavailable for any other reason. It will take more or less four weeks for your application to be processed, then, fingers crossed, you'll receive a letter telling you how much you'll get. At that point, you can bring the first blue card to the CAPAC and, some days later, you'll receive your first allocation de chomage. For this you don't need to book an appointment or wait for hours, you can go there and leave it in the big box at the entrance. If you want to be sure that everything is ok, you can queue for the reception desk, they'll check your card and tell you to put it in the box.<br />
* For the following months, you can bring the blue card at the end of each month, or download and use the ONEM app (more on this below).<br />
* At a certain point you'll receive a letter+mail+text from ACTIRIS, calling you for a first meeting (more on this below).<br />
<br />
Addresses, opening times, and telephone numbers can be found on the web sites of the organisations.<br />
<br />
'''The blue cards''' Every blue card covers one month. For each day for the month there is a box, you'll leave it empty if nothing special happens on that day, you'll have to mark it with a M if you're sick, a V if you're on holiday, A means you're unavailable for any other reason, and you'll black it if you're working (payed). This is important because the CAPAC will pay you the normal days, but, for example, the sickness days will be covered by the mutuelle, and you'll need to specify you're on vacation if ACTIRIS calls you for a meeting but you cannot go.<br />
<br />
''' The ONEM app''' This app replaces the blue cards, so you can avoid going to the CAPAC to deposit them (you'll still have to go for the first one, anyway). The app is called [https://www.onem.be/fr/nouveau/nouvelle-application-mobile-la-carte-de-controle-electronique-ec3 eC3], and is available on the Belgian version of the Android/iOS app stores (check your settings, you won't find it otherwise). You'll also need the itsme app to log in (you might have to use an ID card reader to install it), but if you're using e.g. the ING app you probably already have it.<br />
<br />
'''If you get sick''' Don't. Please don't, it's a pain in the ass. But if you really cannot avoid it, and have to call a doctor, you'll have to ask for a certificate of inability to work, to be brought to the mutuelle in at most 2 working days. Every day covered by the certificate will have to be marked with a M on the blue card, because it will be payed by the mutuelle and not by the CAPAC; if you're actually sick but don't want to call a doctor and get a certificate, then don't mark anything on the card.<br />
<br />
'''Meeting with ACTIRIS''' After some time, you'll be notified by ACTIRIS that you have to go to their offices for a first information session about the job search process. In this meeting they'll explain you the whole process with ACTIRIS, and they'll assign you to a tutor that will assist you in the job search.

Development Server
2018-06-14T10:18:58Z
<p>WikiSysop: /* Iridia certificate */</p>
<hr />
<div>IRIDIA has a development server called "iridia-dev". The server<br />
provides the following services:<br />
<br />
* subversion repositories<br />
* git repositories<br />
* 'trac' environments for projects (wiki, bugtracker etc)<br />
* webpages for projects<br />
<br />
So if you have some software you would like to make open source, you<br />
can host this on the new server.<br />
<br />
== How to add a new subversion/git repository? ==<br />
<br />
Currently, you have to contact the server administrator for that. See [[Lab responsibilities]] to find out who's the current administrator of the server and the repositories.<br />
<br />
== How to access the subversion/git repositories? ==<br />
<br />
You should get a username and a password from the repositories administrator. Instead of<br />
accessing the server by ssh, you have to use https. The repository URL<br />
is the following:<br />
<br />
https://iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be/projects/%NAME%/{svn|git}<br />
<br />
For example, you can check out a project like this:<br />
<br />
svn co https://%USERNAME%@iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be/projects/%REPNAME%/svn<br />
<br />
== I want to delete/archive old repositories ==<br />
<br />
Old repositories are stored in <tt>iridiadevserver@fallopius:~/archived_svn_repos</tt><br />
<br />
Ask the administrator to move it there (<tt>ssh fallopius-backup</tt> from iridia-dev as root).<br />
<br />
[[Lab responsibilities|Contact the administrator]] if you have any problems/questions.<br />
<br />
== I want to share one subdirectory of my repository, but I don't want to give access to the rest of my repository ==<br />
<br />
Normally, each repository is either all-or-nothing access (apart from read-write permissions), that is, if you give read access to someone, then they can read the whole repository. It is possible to [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html setup per-directory access], but it is a bit more complicated and it requires a recent Apache and a recent SVN, which we don't have in iridia-dev.<br />
<br />
First, ''do you really need this?'' See the link (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html) why it is better to not rely on this setup and rather to either trust or not trust people. Everything in SVN is reversible, so mistakes can easily be undone.<br />
<br />
If you really want to start a collaboration with someone and re-use some files in a repository but not give access to the whole repository, then please consider creating a new repository and copying the files. If you record revision info/url at the moment of the copy, for example, in the first commit to the new repository, you can always merge changes back and forth between repositories with <tt>svn merge</tt>. Most likely, you will need to merge just once (when the project is finished), and possibly never. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Quick SVN HowTo ==<br />
<br />
[http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.intro.quickstart.html Subversion Quick Tutorial]: A very fast tutorial on Subversion (SVN).<br />
<br />
== Quick Git HowTo ==<br />
<br />
==== No password [Linux] ====<br />
<br />
If you don't want to be prompted for your password at each operation you have to add in your home directory a .netrc file:<br />
<br />
cat > ~/.netrc<br />
machine iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be<br />
login %YOUR_USERNAME%<br />
password %YOUR_PASSWORD%<br />
CTRL+D<br />
<br />
and change permissions, so that you are the only one that can access it<br />
<br />
chmod 600 ~/.netrc<br />
<br />
Note that if you clone a repository specifying your username in the URL (e.g., https://%USERNAME%@iridia.dev...) your .netrc file will be ignored and you'll have to specify also the password in the URL. If you don't like the idea of your password being stored in clear check out this [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/git-credential-store.1.html Ubuntu page] about how to store your password in your keyring. If you still want the password to be asked every time and in a remote connection you want to type the password in the command line and not a pop-up window, set in your bash profile:<br />
<br />
unset SSH_ASKPASS<br />
<br />
==== No password [Os X] ====<br />
<br />
On Os X, after asking your password the first time, it will be stored in your keychain:<br />
<br />
curl http://github-media-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/osx/git-credential-osxkeychain -o git-credential-osxkeychain<br />
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin<br />
sudo mv git-credential-osxkeychain /usr/local/bin<br />
sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/git-credential-osxkeychain<br />
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain<br />
<br />
==== Configuring Git ====<br />
<br />
Then you have to add some information about yourself in the configuration:<br />
<br />
git config --global user.name "Pinco Pallino"<br />
git config --global user.email "ppallino@iridia.ulb.ac.be"<br />
git config --global --add color.ui true<br />
<br />
this will be default in git 2.0<br />
<br />
git config --global push.default simple<br />
<br />
this is already default, but you could change it with your preferred editor<br />
<br />
git config --global core.editor 'vim'<br />
<br />
to wrap lines in git diff<br />
<br />
git config --global core.pager 'less -r'<br />
<br />
==== Iridia certificate ====<br />
<br />
'''Don't''' ignore the certificate verification globally<br />
<br />
# git config --global http.sslverify "false"<br />
<br />
don't do it. Instead, open the page of your git repository in Firefox (this has to be done just for the first repository), when you are prompted for adding an exception for the certificate, ask Firefox to show you the certificate and export it as a X.509 (PEM) without chain or other options and save it in a file like iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be.pem. Then add it as a sslCAInfo:<br />
<br />
git config --global http.sslCAInfo /home/%YOUR_USERNAME%/iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be.pem<br />
<br />
<br />
Otherwise, go the ignorant way and disable the certificate locally for the single repository<br />
<br />
git config http.sslVerify false<br />
<br />
==== Other useful stuff ====<br />
<br />
All the configuration options specified above go into a configuration file in your home directory, i.e., ~/.gitconfig. You can add further options manually directly in that file or with git config command line. For example I shamelessly copied these useful aliases [http://durdn.com/blog/2012/11/22/must-have-git-aliases-advanced-examples/ from here]:<br />

==== Cloning your repository in a local directory ====<br />
<br />
At this point with everything configured you should be ready to clone a repository <br />
<br />
git clone https://iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be/projects/%REPNAME%/git %REPNAME%<br />
<br />
if you are on Linux and you have configured your .netrc you should have no issues, otherwhise you have maybe to specify also your username:<br />
<br />
git clone https://%YOUR_USERNAME%@iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be/projects/%REPNAME%/git %REPNAME%<br />
<br />
and you will be prompted for a password. If you later decide to use a .netrc file, you have to remove your username from the reopository url:<br />
<br />
cd %REPNAME%<br />
git remote set-url origin https://iridia-dev.ulb.ac.be/projects/%REPNAME%/git<br />
<br />
On Os X, regardless of the username in the URL, if you installed the keychain helper, after typing the password the first time, you will not be prompted anymore.<br />
<br />
==== Using Git for SVN users ====<br />
<br />
You should definitely read this [http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html short introduction] and if you really want to understand what you are doing you should read this [http://git-scm.com/book slightly longer introduction]. ;)<br />
<br />
Anyway if you want a blind correspondence of basic SVN commands here it is:<br />
<br />
svn commit => git commit -a<br />
<br />
this is actually a local commit, to push it to the repository you need to make:<br />
<br />
git push origin --all<br />
<br />
or simply<br />
<br />
git push<br />
<br />
for updating your local copy to the most up-to-date version on the repository<br />
<br />
svn update => git pull<br />
<br />
changing your mind about your last commit message before pushing it on the repository<br />
<br />
git commit --amend -m 'Edited message.'<br />
<br />
The other commands like git diff are very similar to the corresponding svn ones. Branching and tagging are of course different, but you know it already if you are planning to use git. <br />
<br />
Anyway, this short list is here to help you if you need to quickly commit something and you are not planning to use Git for your project. On the contrary, if you want to understand why there is a '-a' after the git command, what is the staging area, how to cherry pick a commit on a branch, or how to change the history of the commits on the repository, read at least the [http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html short introduction].</div>

<br />
=== Meeting 18/10/2016 ===<br />
<br />
* French language course Mon 31 October - Fri 4 November?<br />
* iMAL Blockchain symposium & showcase Friday 4 November 2pm - 6pm (0 EUR) -- http://imal.org/en/activity/blockchain-fact-fiction-future/<br />
* iMAL Hacklab Saturday 5 November (30 EUR)<br />
<br />
=== Intermediate Meeting ===<br />
* French language course Mon 31 October - Fri 4 November time: 9am - 1pm<br />
<br />
=== Meeting 15/11/2016 ===<br />
* Continued literature research<br />
* Started first web application for smart contracts ([http://164.15.10.140/ http://164.15.10.140/]) with very basic functionality:<br />
** Robots can be added to the swarm<br />
** Miner can issue a premium in Ether as incentive for removing oil<br />
** Oil can be removed by pressing a button -> sender gets rewarded<br />
* Experimented a bit with ARGoS<br />
* Discussed points during the meeting:<br />
** I need a convincing problem/application that absolutely requires the blockchain (could be very different from the oil spill removal task)<br />
** Look into PoW/PoS/PoX algorithms and see which one is best for robot swarms (also look into "Physical Proof of Work"); since robots are computationally rather limited, we need a clever consensus algorithm, otherwise, an attacker could easily perform a 51% attack; also find out which cryptocurrencies use which algorithm; see if it is possible to switch to PoS in Ethereum<br />
** Investigate possibilities for light clients (e.g., each city/organization could have a node that maintains the blockchain and the corresponding robots just run light clients)<br />
** I can use the footbot simulation for now but will probably use the e-puck in the real experiments<br />
<br />
=== Meeting 22/11/2016 ===<br />
* [[ Application Scenario | Application Scenario ]]<br />
* [[ Proof-of-X | Proof-of-X ]]<br />
* Created simple interface between ARGoS and Ethereum node<br />
* TODO: Find out, which application scenario is suited for blockchain technology (for example by reading Swarm robotics: a review); see if Amanda's paper is relevant<br />
<br />
=== Intermediate Meeting 25/11/2016 ===<br />
* Discussed [[Collective decisions | Collective decisions]]<br />
<br />
=== Meeting 29/11/2016 ===<br />
* Finished Week 1 of Coursera course<br />
* Started ARGoS simulation for the collective decisions scenario (centralized version):<br />
** 10 robots, each robot has an account/address with some ETH<br />
** Robots with id 0 - 3: send opinion red; Robots with id 4 - 9: send opinion green<br />
** If a robot detects a wall or another robot it sends its opinion via the smart contract<br />
** After a random amount of time an epoch is finished, the majority opinion is determined, and the counters for red and green are set back to 0<br />
** TODO:<br />
*** Make voting only possible if 1 ETH is send with the transaction<br />
*** Distribute ETH after an epoch is finished<br />
*** Base opinions on sensor inputs<br />
*** Implement strategies for changing opinions (e.g., majority opinion, voter model)</div>

Moving to Brussels
2015-08-08T17:22:52Z
<p>WikiSysop: </p>
<hr />
<div>Moving to a new country can be both exciting and frustrating. Everything is fascinating and at the same time it can be confusing to find your way around a new city, a culture and possibly a new language. The objective of this page is to provide some information for newcomers to IRIDIA, such as Ph.D. students, and Brussels in general in order to make the initial couple of weeks a bit easier. The information contained in this document has been collected by people who have been through the process. If you have any questions, suggestions, additions or such, please make them.<br />
<br />
NOTE for ITALIANS: for any kind of information or help, there is the [http://www.patronatoacli.be/it/le-nostre-sedi-20 Patronato Acli]. They can help for any kind of issues you have (accommodation, health,...) and it's all for free.<br />
<br />
== Short-term accommodation ==<br />
<br />
For short-term accommodation (that is a place to sleep for the first couple of weeks you are in Brussels) a bed and breakfast is a convenient option. Depending on your budget and confidence in finding more long-term accommodation quickly there is a number of different options to choose from:<br />
<br />
* The [http://www.ulb.ac.be/logements/index-chercheur.html Office du logement de l'ULB] mantains a list of options.<br />
* [http://www.sophiesrooms.be/ Sophie’s Rooms] is a Bed &amp; Breakfast with very nice rooms. They are more in the upper price range (see website). Close to Diamant, basically between the airport and IRIDIA, it's perfectly situated for short-term visitors that arrive by plane. Disclaimer: the couple that runs the B&amp;B are friends of Arne.<br />
* [http://www.csfds.be Centre Sportif de la Foret de Soignes] is a sports facility in the outskirts of Brussels. It is quite cheap for longer stays at ~230 euro/month or ~16 euros/day for shorter stays. There is easy access to the university: [http://www.stib.irisnet.be/FR/40000Fre/B/40072F.htm Bus number 72] runs directly between ULB and the center (also known as A.D.E.P.S.) and the ride is 15 to 20 mins. And that is about all the good things that there are to say about the place. Breakfast is not included, the rooms are very basic, the reception closes at 23h00 on weekdays, 22h00 on Saturdays and at 20h00 on Sundays. You either have to be there before closing time or you'll have to arranged with the Security staff or the reception, that you will come at a later hour. Being so far out is by no means an ideal way to get acquainted with the city. However, if you intend to stay in short-term for a whole month [http://www.csfds.be Centre Sportif de la Foret de Soignes] might be the least expensive option. If you want to book a room there you have to do it through IRIDIA.<br />
* [http://www.bnb-brussels.be Bed &amp; Brussels] manages rooms in more than 100 guesthouses. Have a look and contact them if you are interested. If you book a room make sure that it is close to the university (Ixelles 1050 or Uccle 1180). '''Hint:''' Go to [http://www.maporama.com Maporama] and punch in the address of the guest house to see how far it is from ULB.<br />
* [http://rycx.be/bedbreakfast/en/ Rycx's family house] The guest house at Square Robert Goldschmidt, 50 - B-1050 Brussels, Belgium] should be quite good, inexpensive and very close to the university. They only have few rooms.<br />
* [http://www.brusselsdestination.be/en/index.html Brussels Destination] offers rooms, flats, and studios for stays of 4 weeks or longer. At the moment of writing this, the map offered by the site is often incorrect, so be sure to check the address given using a different map.<br />
<br />
== Long-term accommodation ==<br />
In case you do not already live in Brussels, one of the first and most important things to do obviously is to find an apartment. One option is to buy the magazine "Vlan" where you have lots of ads for flats and etc. You can as well visit the [http://www.vlan.be Vlan website], which is very good and publishes the announcements shortly after they are published in the magazine. You can try out [http://www.immoweb.be IMMOWEB.be] on which apartments are also advertised. Another great website full of ads for apartments and furniture is [http://www.expatriates.com/classifieds/bru/ Expats in Brussel].<br />
<br />
An alternative method is to simply walk around in the neighborhood you are interested in living in as the landlords hang out easy identifiable announcements. As this might not be a usual way to find accommodation in other countries it works in Belgium. There are a lot of signs put up and sometimes this is the only way in which apartments are advertised. Walking around is probably a bit more time consuming than finding a flat through the Vlan, but on the other side you get to know the area, and you are likely to find one of the apartments close to the University not advertised on the web. The signs read "A Louer" or "Te Huur", which translates to "for rent". There are lots of rooms and apartments for rent. They vary a lot in terms of quality and price, so you might have to spend some time to find something that suites your budget and your style.<br />
<br />
Most other students at IRIDIA live quite close to the university; choosing a place in the neighborhood is likely to improve your social life.<br />
<br />
In case you don't speak any French it is recommendable to ask a French speaker (e.g. at IRIDIA) to check the contract. Even though the probability is low that some landlord wants to cheat, it is always better to know what exactly is written in the contract!<br />
<br />
=== Renting an apartment ===<br />
Once you have found the property you want to rent, you need a lease (bail/kontract), an inventory (etat des lieux/plaatsbeschrijving), a security deposit, and to get the phone, electricity and gas reconnected.<br />
<br />
There is an element of Catch 22 here - there is a certain order to get things done that, at times, seems to be mutually exclusive.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The lease'''<br />
<br />
Belgium has an odd system of a standard nine-year flexible lease, and an inflexible three-year lease. At first sight the three-year lease seems the most attractive to a newcomer whose time in the country is uncertain, but this is not necessarily the case.<br />
<br />
A three-year lease can be for any agreed period up to a maximum of three years. It fixes the rent for the period of the lease and commits the tenant to pay for the entire period of the lease. It can include a diplomatic clause (designed to indemnify the tenant if he wants to break the lease because he is leaving the country) but these have been nullified by the Belgian Courts in the past.<br />
<br />
It is thus better to opt for a nine-year lease, which can in fact be broken by giving three months notice. But if you leave in the first, second or third year, you will pay an indemnity of three, two and one month's rent respectively. From year four, there is no penalty for leaving.<br />
<br />
The monthly rent is fixed for nine years subject to the normal state-controlled annual indexation. The landlord can only give you notice if they intend to occupy the property personally, need to carry out major works (where major has a legal definition), or at the end of year three or year six, for no reason but subject to compensation to the tenant of nine or six month's rent respectively.<br />
<br />
For an apartment, the monthly outgoing may include an element of rent and a fixed amount of service charge. Usually the service charge is just a prepayment (provision pour charges/vooruitbetaling) and there will be an annual assessment of common charges for the property that you will share in.<br />
<br />
If you want to negotiate a better price, negotiate down the rental not the service charges! If there are things you want the landlord to correct before you move in, don't sign the lease until they have happened.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The inventory'''<br />
<br />
The inventory (etat des lieux /plaatsbeschrijvin) is the source of more misery to tenants than any other legal document.<br />
<br />
Typically, the landlord's agent prepares a stunningly detailed list of the condition of the property complete with photographs. The tenant reads it or not and signs. At the end of the lease, the landlord's agent checks the property and finds an unreasonable amount of property damage.<br />
<br />
Expats have been charged for scratches in the bath that were there before they arrived, and for damp patches caused by the landlord's failure to repair a roof. That the cost of the damage often comes to about the level of the retained security deposit is a coincidence of course!<br />
<br />
It is bad enough to have someone who seems to be less than independent assessing costs against you, even more irritating is that you have to pay 50 percent of his bill. Some agents insist you sign a document agreeing to the fee and to accept his expertise before he starts. Don't do so.<br />
<br />
The way to avoid all such problems is simple. Select your own agent (expert immobilier/expert) to do the check-in and the check-out. That way both parties get a truly independent and fair assessment.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The security deposit'''<br />
<br />
You will either need to pay around three months rental up front as a security deposit against tenant-effected damages, or to ask your bank for a guarantee.<br />
<br />
The latter option is basically a low-cost insurance policy sold to you by the bank which gets your salary as its means of security. It is typically the better option because a bad-faith landlord needs to prove to the bank that he deserves the guarantee.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Home insurance'''<br />
<br />
Whether you own or rent your property, you need to get insurance. Almost all rental agreements in Belgium require the tenant to take out insurance on the rented property within 30 days of signing a lease. This insurance is required by the Belgian Civil Code, which holds a tenant responsible for any damage to the building unless proof can be given that it was not his/her fault.<br />
<br />
If you are renting, take your lease with you when you arrange your insurance. You are also responsible for providing cover against third party liability, but the owner is required to have a policy covering the property against earthquakes, lightning, fire, etc. If you are in furnished accommodation, you are required to take out insurance against damage to the landlord's furniture.<br />
<br />
Contents insurance is not compulsory but advisable. Remember that theft is not covered automatically in contents insurance: it is an option. Valuable personal items such as jewellery or cameras may require an all risks policy, which will cover you for damage or loss in or out of the home. Premiums on these for desirables such as laptop computers are high.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Sharing an apartment/Renting a room ===<br />
<br />
Sharing an apartment or renting a room in some bigger building which features common space for every inhabitant has several advantages over living alone:<br />
<br />
* you'll be never be alone<br />
* it's cheaper<br />
* you will most certainly learn french a lot faster (or chinese, or...)<br />
* it will improve your social life<br />
* you can rely on the knowledge of your flatmates about Brussels<br />
<br />
Of course, it has several disadvantages:<br />
<br />
* you'll be never be alone<br />
* you have to share kitchen and bathroom, which isn't always nice<br />
<br />
It's certainly not for everyone, but it's a good and fun option. It heavily depends on your flatmates, so finding a good match is even more important than finding a nice appartment to share.<br />
<br />
''' Options '''<br />
<br />
If you want to share a house/apartment, you should know a few things. You basically have two options when you want to do this:<br />
<br />
# Rent a room in a bigger building (kind of student-dorm like) In Belgium single rooms to rent is referred to as a ''kot'' or simply ''chambre''. This is usually the cheapest option, as you can get one for less than 300 Euros including charges. The rooms are usually rented individually by the landlord. The major drawback is that you don't know much about the people you're going to share the common rooms with. Sometimes these rooms are simply part of a Belgian family household, so if you're seeking contact to local people this might be a good way. Usually a kot is rented by young people and erasmus students.<br />
# A ''colocation'' on the other hand is when several people rent a house/appartment together. You usually have more space and closer relationship to your flatmates. For this reason, you should choose them wisely. If your looking for a rich social life, this is the way to go. Colocations start around 300 Euros, but are usually around 450 Euros for a reasonably spaced room.<br />
<br />
''' Where to look '''<br />
<br />
In order to find a kot/colocation, you have several ways to look for it:<br />
* For a kot go to the l'office de logement in building F1 on campus Solbosch. On the first floor are two big boards full of offers. Note that these offers are usually made by landlords which are french-speaking. You can access a list here: http://wwwdev.ulb.ac.be/intranet/logements/scripts/logpub.php (for contact details you have to write the office or have a look at the board though).<br />
* Check the streets and the university buildings for handwritten ads.<br />

=== Furniture ===<br />
<br />
If you move into an unfurnished apartment, [http://www.ikea.be IKEA] is a good option. They have two branches in Brussels, the one in Zaventem is close to the airport. You can even rent a truck there to take your new furniture to your place (and it is not expensive).<br />
<br />
Another option is second-hand furniture. Brussels houses lots of expats coming and going, so often you can find good deals for second-hand items ranging from apartments, furniture and cars. [http://www.xpats.com XPATS.com] - a site for expatriates in Brussels and the surrounding area. Go to the [http://www.xpats.com/classifieds_main.shtml Classified] section and choose the http://www.xpats.com/clads/clads_display.php?Action=view&categorie=12 For sale section]. There is usually heaps of stuff for sale and many new ads are added daily.<br />
<br />
== Currency ==<br />
<br />
Belgium is in the eurozone, sharing a common currency with Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.<br />
<br />
Of the old EU countries, Sweden, Denmark and the UK are the outsiders and many of the 10 new EU countries plan to adopt the euro when they are ready to do so, but not for a few years yet.<br />
<br />
Coins: 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 EUR, 2 EUR<br />
<br />
Notes: 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 20 EUR, 50 EUR, 100 EUR, 200 EUR, 500 EUR<br />
<br />
On one side of the coins is a European Union emblem showing a map of the eurozone surrounded by the 12 stars of the union. On the other side is a design specific to the country where it was minted.<br />
<br />
Euros from any of the 12 countries may be used anywhere in the EU. All euro notes are the same, regardless of which country they come from.<br />
<br />
=== Paying for goods and services ===<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Cash'''<br />
<br />
Cash dispensers are everywhere where there is a bank, and they all take Bancontact cards issued by local banks. But beware, you might have to wander around to find one that takes your Visa or MasterCard or other major credit and debit cards.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Credit and Debit Cards'''<br />
<br />
Most types of credit card are widely accepted. If you get a standard Visa or Eurocard/MasterCard from a local bank, the standard option is for this to operate like a debit card, with the full balance taken from your account each month.<br />
<br />
A full service credit option is widely available on request.<br />
<br />
Diner's, American Express and other major international credit cards can also be obtained and used in Belgium.<br />
<br />
The most common card in Belgium is the Mister Cash-Bancontact card. It is linked to your current account, and is accepted in department stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and high street shops everywhere. It's a good idea to have one of these, as there are still many places in Belgium that don't accept alternatives.<br />
<br />
A Bancontact card with a PIN number will be issued when you open a Belgian bank account.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Proton'''<br />
<br />
Belgium is a pioneer in a cashless society.<br />
<br />
The Proton card is actually a chip integrated into your Bancontact card and is like a rechargeable electronic purse.<br />
<br />
It is designed to pay for everyday items such as newspapers and cigarettes, as well as<br />
paying the butcher and the baker.<br />
<br />
You can even use it for the parking meter, or to fill up your car with petrol.<br />
<br />
This is how it works:<br />
<br />
Using your usual four-digit PIN code, you load the card with up to EUR 1,240 at a cash dispenser,and then go shopping.<br />
<br />
The shopkeeper enters the amount to be paid into the Proton terminal, and you put your Proton card into the terminal.<br />
<br />
When the amount to be paid appears on the screen, you simply press the OK button, and the payment is made.<br />
<br />
A word of caution: a lost card is like lost cash so choose the amount you load wisely.<br />
<br />
=== Bank account ===<br />
<br />
Getting a bank account is straight-forward. Simply choose a bank and set up an interview. Mrs. Laurence Schor (email: first name . second name @ing.be, phone number 02 639 65 46) is an excellent English speaker and very helpful. Make an appointment with her. She works for ING, which is one of the large banks in Belgium and they have a branch only ~400m from the university (Av. de l'Universite 11, 1050 Brussels). You may also open a bank account at the small ING branch on campus Solbosch. To open the bank account, you will need at least a passport (or ID card if you are from EU) and a document proving your relation with the university (e.g., a signed letter from your supervisor). You may need additional documents if you are from outside EU.<br />
<br />
Usually, banks can also help out with matters related to insurance of property etc.<br />
<br />
== Transportation ==<br />
<br />
Getting around Brussels by the public transport system is easy: The city sports a decent system of metros, busses and trams. The first thing to do when you arrive in Brussels is to get a map of the busses, trams and metros. You can get that in many places, e.g. at the Central Station, get one - it will be your best friend in the beginning. <br />
<br />
If you want to go straight to Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) from the Central Station you should take [http://www.stib.irisnet.be/FR/40000Fre/B/40071F.htm bus 71] (when you exit the Central Station the stop for 71 is just 40m up the street alongside a number of other stops). It runs fairly frequently - every 20 mins or so - from early morning to midnight.<br />
<br />
===Tickets===<br />
<br />
In buses and trams you can buy a one-trip ticket for 2 euro from the driver. They will allow you to take any means of urban, public transport for one hour. In metro stations you can also by 5 and 10 trip tickets in machines (11 euro for the 10 trips ticket), which work in the exact same way, but are cheaper. The tickets are called "Jump tickets". Once you have a ticket, it needs to be stamped by one of the orange machines located in every tram and bus (just remember to validate the ticket every time you get in, in case it's less than an hour from the previous validation, it will not consume a new ride but will stamp a transfer next to the previous one). If you use the metro, remember to stamp the ticket BEFORE entering the metro train (sometimes they have raids where tickets are checked and the cops doing that do not look friendly!)<br />
<br />
===Importing a car===<br />
<br />
====From outside the EU====<br />
The various steps in importing a car into Belgium from outside the European Union are lengthy and complicated. Even armed with the most current information from the official Belgian government website, you will almost certainly need the services of a broker or specialized agent. A good agent can help you with the importation of your car, conversion to Belgian specifications, conformity certificate, and technical inspection and licensing.<br />
<br />
<br />
A car imported into Belgium from outside the EU as part of a move of your personal and household effects can be exempt from customs duties and value-added tax if the following conditions are met:<br />
<br />
<br />
You resided outside the EU for at least 12 months before establishing residence in Belgium;<br />
<br />
You acquired the car abroad and drove it for at least six months before arrival;<br />
<br />
You paid sales tax in another country;<br />
<br />
You will retain the car for your personal use for at least 12 months following the date of import.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Belgian customs authorities require the following documents:<br />
<br />
Letter requesting exemption of customs duties and value-added tax;<br />
<br />
Invoice for the car;<br />
<br />
Certificate of title; <br />
<br />
Sales tax receipts; <br />
<br />
Certificate of insurance covering at least six months prior to importation; <br />
<br />
Proof of residence in a country outside the European Union for at least 12 months before departure; <br />
<br />
Proof of residence in Belgium and date of establishment;<br />
<br />
Shipping document for personal effects.<br />
<br />
<br />
For further information on import procedures, contact Belgian Customs:<br />
<br />
Ministere des Finances Service Douane or <br />
<br />
Ministerie van Financier Kantoor Douane <br />
<br />
Rue Picard 1-3 <br />
<br />
1210 Brussels <br />
<br />
Tel. 0800.147.95 (toll-free number in Dutch, English, French and German)<br />
<br />
<br />
Where import duty exemption is not extended, as in the case of a vehicle that has been owned less than six months, a customs duty of io percent and value-added tax of 21 percent of the market value of the car as determined by customs must be paid.<br />
<br />
====From within the EU====<br />
It is much easier to import a car into Belgium from another European Union country. Present the car to the Belgian customs authorities, along with a copy of your Belgian identity card, proof of purchase and previous registration. Value-added tax will have to be paid on new cars (less than six months old or driven less than 6,000 kilometers) but not on cars considered to be secondhand �?? over six months old and/or with more than 6,000 kilometers on the clock. In all EU member states, VAT on secondhand cars is always paid in the country where the vehicle was purchased, because it is included in the price.<br />
<br />
An imported car with valid foreign registration and license plates can be driven immediately upon arrival in Belgium for a maximum of six months. During this period, you must go through the formalities of registering your car with the Belgian authorities and, in the case of non-EU nationals, applying for a Belgian driving license.<br />
<br />
== Mobile phone ==<br />
<br />
There are several options for getting a mobile phone and/or a SIM card. There are three companies operating in Belgium: <br />
<br />
* [http://www.proximus.be Proximus] <br />
* [http://www.base.be Base] <br />
* [http://www.mobistar.be Mobistar]<br />
<br />
You can buy either a subscription where you pay a monthly fee and they'll send you a bill sized in accordance with your use. Alternatively, you can go for a prepaid card deal, where calls are usually a bit more expensive, but you do not have to lock yourself into a long-term contract. Moreover, you can walk straight into a store and five minutes later you got your own phone number. The prepaid cards can be recharged in tobacco shops and in any of the operator's braches.<br />
<br />
Getting a mobile phone number right away is a GOOD IDEA. It is especially useful for finding accommodation. The rumor has it that [http://www.base.be Base] has the less expensive deals at the moment.<br />
<br />
Make sure that your phone is not SIM-locked and that it works with the new card before leaving the store.<br />
<br />
== Registering at the local commune ==<br />
At some point you have to register at the city hall to get a residence permit. However, it's better to wait until you have found yourself some long-term accommodation before registering because they want to have your permanent address. So it's not possible to register until you have a permanent place to live. Officially you have to do it within 3 months of arrival in case you are from an EU member state.<br />
<br />
If you live in [http://www.elsene.irisnet.be/ the commune of Ixelles] you have to call the following number: 02.515.66.03, 21, 22 et 23. You can find the office time table to the following direct link of the [http://www.elsene.irisnet.be/site/fr/01officiel/servicescommun/population.htm#etrangers Bureau des etrangers]. If you speak basic French and you are an UE citizen, it´s likely that they will schedule an appointment with you in 2-3 months for the registration. All you have to say is your nationality and that you just arrived in Ixelles and you want to register. They will ask you your last name, your first name, your address in Ixelles and your telephone number.<br />
<br />
Some days or weeks later and before the appointment, a police man will come and visit you in your apartment to check that you are really living there (and your family members). Usually, if you are not there at that time, you just need to put your name in your mail box.<br />
<br />
You will usually get a residence permit valid for one year at the time, thus you might have to renew your permit every year. For renewing the permission, you have to go to Chausse d'Ixelles 124 to present: a) the confirmation of enrollment of the university, b) a proof of coverage by your health insurance, c) a photo and d) 7.50 EUR.<br />
<br />
=== Italians: registering at the AIRE ===<br />
Italians that are staying in Belgium more than 12 months must register at the [http://www.consbruxelles.esteri.it/Consolato_Bruxelles/Menu/I_Servizi/Per_i_cittadini/Anagrafe/ AIRE (Anagrafe degli Italiani Residenti all'Estero)]. You have to register within 90 days after your arrival, and in order to do that you have to go to the [http://www.consbruxelles.esteri.it/Consolato_Bruxelles/ Consolato d'Italia] in Rue de Livourne, 38. You can schedule an appointment online by clicking on [http://www.consbruxelles.esteri.it/Consolato_Bruxelles/Menu/In_linea_con_utente/Prenota_OnLine/ sportello unico -> prendere appuntamento]. You will need an Italian identity card and a Belgian document like the residence permit.<br />
<br />
== Health-care == <br />
In order to enroll in a health care plan you need contact a ''mutualité'' for instance [http://www.euromut.be Euromut]. Fill out the web form and they will send you the necessary documents.<br />
<br />
It take a while before you can become a member of a mutualité. However, once you are inscribed you can get any medical expenses reimbursed from the date on which you started at the university. Hence, in case something happens in between arrival and becoming a member of Euromut you are still covered.<br />
<br />
Normally Euromut will only provide you a basic, compulsory insurance and the coverage of such an insurance is far from complete. Therefore, it is a good and cheap option to buy additional coverage e.g. for hospitalization. You can do that either through Euromut or another mutualité. The rumor has it that the insurance through the University is the cheaper one. In order to get such an insurance you should contact the ULB Social Services (internal phone numbers: 3505, 3506, 3507) or simply go to their office in the V building on the third floor (right above the university book store on Av. Adolphe Buyl). You can try with English, but your milage may vary.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== The Belgian healtcare system ===<br />
You can be assured of the highest-quality medical care in Belgium, regarded as among the best healthcare systems in Europe.<br />
<br />
As in most countries, the system divides itself into state and private, though fees are payable in both, so you need to ensure that you are adequately covered through either the state insurance and/or private insurance.<br />
<br />
The advantages of the state mutuelle/mutualiteit scheme is that you can choose any doctor, clinic or hospital you like, in any location and without referral, according to your needs in much the same way as you can with private insurance.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Doctors'''<br />
<br />
General practitioners can be found in private practices or attached to clinics and hospitals. You are free to consult or register with any you like; similarly with specialist consultants. It may be a decision based on location, language or recommendation.<br />
<br />
It's always worth speaking to neighbours or colleagues when you first arrive; everyone knows of a doctor, or has heard of one with a good reputation. Embassies usually keep lists of doctors who can work in your language, though it has to be said that most doctors have a good understanding of English. See for example the webpage "[http://ukinbelgium.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/when-things-go-wrong/if-you-need-doctor if you need a doctor]" of the UK Embassy.<br />
<br />
When you first phone a doctor, check whether they are registered as national health service or private. Some are both, perhaps working at a hospital and also in their own private practice.<br />
<br />
One thing to remember when you go to a doctor '''take cash with you'''. Consultations usually end with a handing over of money and very few doctors offer payment by card of any type. If you have state social security, reimbursement rates are calculated and you pay the difference; if you are on a private scheme, or are uninsured, you pay the whole lot there and then. It's always worth checking fees before you book an appointment.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Dentists'''<br />
<br />
The majority of dentists in Belgium are private, though there are those who accept part-payment on state insurance. Make it a priority to check when registering as the fee differentials can be huge. For any specialist work, such as crowns and bridges, the dentist may well ask how you will pay and offer you different quotations. In the big cities, Brussels in particular, there are international dentistry practices as well as Belgian.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Hospitals'''<br />
<br />
As with general practitioners, you can arrange to see a specialist of your choice at any hospital. You can also walk into an emergency department for immediate treatment, though as in other countries, do not use this as a general practitioner replacement. It makes life a lot easier if you have your insurance card or other identifiable means of payment with you, though treatment will not be refused if you don't.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Emergency treatment'''<br />
<br />
If you need to use the emergency 100 number an ambulance will arrive quickly and take you to the nearest emergency centre. Sometimes, a decision may be made to admit you to the best centre suited for your needs, for example, a specialist burns unit.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Pharmacies'''<br />
<br />
Chemists are ubiquitous in Belgium, with the green cross sign everywhere. There is a rota system for chemists to open outside of usual hours and through the night. Lists are available from any pharmacy or check newspapers for those open at night in your area.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Health insurance'''<br />
<br />
Contributions to the state health system are made by you and your employer, or by you alone if you are self-employed. Payments and benefits are administered by one of the mutelle/mutualiteit societies.<br />
<br />
You can choose one that best suits your needs. For example, some are more geared to the self-employed, while others may provide cover for alternative medicine. Once you are a paying member you receive your social security ID, or SIS, a microchip card which carries all your details.<br />
<br />
Hospitals and chemists will use these to calculate what you are entitled to and if there is any price difference for you to cover. As already explained, many doctors have not yet invested in the necessary technology for SIS cards in their surgeries.<br />
<br />
You may choose to cover yourself with private insurance, indeed many overseas salary packages offer this as a benefit. However, if you are living and working in Belgium, you will still need to subscribe to the state system and your private insurance becomes an addition rather than a replacement.<br />
<br />
If you are an EU national, the social security form E111 gives you rights to use the Belgian state system until you have organised an SIS card. You need to arrange for this form in your own country, not in Belgium.<br />

== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />

<div><div class="page-warning"><br />
[[Image:icon_warning.png|40px]] The proceedings moved out to the web server! However, keep copies of the proceedings that you care about somewhere safe. <br />
</div><br />
<br />
IRIDIA has a proceedings repository that contains digital copies of proceedings.<br />
<br />
=== Access ===<br />
<br />
They are two ways to get access to the proceedings.<br />
<br />
==== Directly on the web server ====<br />
To get access you need to ask the password to the [[Lab_responsibilities#Servers.2C_infrastructures.2C_and_assets|webserver's administrator]].<br />
<br />
Then login on iridia <br />
<pre><br />
ssh proceedings@iridia<br />
<br />
cd ~/disabled_html<br />
<br />
ls<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== From your browser ====<br />
Just go to [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~proceedings http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~proceedings]<br />
<br />
<div class="page-warning"><br />
[[Image:icon_warning.png|40px]] Web browser access is currently broken, you'll need to use ssh into the webserver. If you know how to fix this, please contact the web server responsible.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
=== Adding new proceedings ===<br />
<br />
Let's say you want to add the directory /media/cdrom for the conference GECCO 2010.<br />
<pre><br />
scp -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -r /media/cdrom proceedings@iridia.ulb.ac.be:/home/proceedings/disabled_html/2010-gecco<br />
<br />
ssh proceedings@iridia ./update_permissions<br />

PROJ-H-402 - Computing Project: Rules
2014-09-30T13:04:34Z
<p>WikiSysop: </p>
<hr />
<div>== Overall information ==<br />
<br />
PROJ-H-402 is a computer programming project for students of the first year of the Master in Computer Science and Engineering. This project is equivalent to 5 ECTS. <br />
<br />
With this project, the student will gain experience in how to produce software for a customer. The role of the customer will be played by a member of the faculties involved in the master program. The faculty member that commissions the software will provide the student with all the needed guidance.<br />
<br />
It is the final responsibility of each student to find his/her project.<br />
<br />
== The student ==<br />
<br />
The student has to find a supervisor and to agree with him on the goal of the project. The student will then carry out the project under the guidance of the supervisor. The student can find the names of faculty members that are willing to supervise a project and information on available projects on the webpage maintained by the coordinator -- please read on to learn more on this.<br />
<br />
== The supervisor ==<br />
<br />
The supervisor can be any member of the scientific or academic staff of the faculties involved in the master program. The role of the supervisor is to define the details of the project and to guide the student. The supervisor will typically meet the student every couple of weeks. A supervisor might propose a project directly to a student or might advertise a project through the apposite webpage maintained by the coordinator -- please read on to learn more on this.<br />
<br />
== The director ==<br />
<br />
For each project, a director must be appointed. A director must be a member of the academic staff. If the supervisor is a member of the academic staff, the director is the supervisor himself. The role of the director is to guarantee that the project has an appropriate formative and didactical value. Also, the director will be the main responsible of the evaluation of the project: at the end of the project, the director will give a mark to the student.<br />
<br />
== The coordinator ==<br />
<br />
The coordinator of PROJ-H-402 is Mauro Birattari <mbiro@ulb.ac.be>. The coordinator maintains a webpage ([[PROJ-H-402 - Computing Project: List of Projects]]) that can be used by faculty members to advertise the projects they propose. The coordinator will also take care of registering the final mark as communicated by the director.<br />
<br />
== Advertising a project ==<br />
In order to have a project mentioned on the webpage maintained by the coordinator, a faculty member should send an email to the coordinator. The email should contain the following information in the following format:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<nowiki>==</nowiki> '''title of the project''' <nowiki>==</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Supervisor: &nbsp; '''name of supervisor''' &nbsp;&nbsp; <'''email address of supervisor'''><br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Director: &nbsp; '''name of director''' &nbsp;&nbsp; <'''email address of director'''><br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Webpage: &nbsp; '''<nowiki>http://...</nowiki>'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Replace the text in ''''boldface'''' with the relevant information. The webpage should be a Link to a webpage maintained by supervisor where further information can be found, e.g., abstract of the project, required background knowledge, diagrams to illustrate ideas, links to preparatory readings.<br />
<br />
The subject of the email should be "PROJ-H-402: New project". If a faculty member wishes to propose more than one project, he should send an email for each of them. If the name of the director is not given, I will assume that the supervisor is a member of the academic staff and that he will also play the role of the director.<br />
<br />
It is not strictly needed that a project is advertised on the webpage maintained by the coordinator. A faculty member can directly propose a project to a student, should he feel that this student is an ideal candidate.<br />
<br />
== Deliverables ==<br />
<br />
The concrete result of the project will be a set of deliverables. Typically, the deliverables will be a report of about 15 pages, the software produced and its technical documentation. At the beginning of the project, the supervisor will define exactly the deliverables that have to be produced -- if the supervisor is a member of the scientific staff, the director of the project will have to validate this step.<br />
<br />
== The final evaluation ==<br />
<br />
At the end of the project, the student will have to present the results of the project to a jury. The evaluation might take place either during the first session or during the second session. It is the responsibility of the director to schedule the evaluation and to form the jury. The jury must be composed by (at least) three members of the scientific/academic staff (including director/supervisor). The jury will be chaired by the director of the project. At least one member of the jury must be a person that has not been involved in the supervision of the student and that does not work on the topic of the project -- rationale: the student should be able to explain its work also to non-experts. After the evaluation, the director will communicate the mark to the co-ordinator via email. The subject of the email should be "PROJ-H-402: Mark -- <<student name>>". The email should contain the following information:<br />
<br />
* Student: <<name of the student>><br />
* Mark: <<final mark>><br />
* Supervisor: <<name of the supervisor>><br />
* Director: <<name of the director>> (if different from supervisor)<br />
* Jury: <<names of all members of the jury>><br />
* Remarks: <<remarks>> (comments, if any)<br />
<br />
If a director is in charge of more than one student project, he should send an email for each of these student projects. The director should communicate the mark to the coordinator at least one week before the deadline for registering the marks in the online system of the university.</div>

<p>WikiSysop: </p>
<hr />
<div>If you want to work with the ground sensors the best idea is to buy sheets of white/black paper and use them as the ground of your arena.<br />
<br />
You can buy large sheets of papers at Schleiper (Ch. de Charleroi 149/151 - 1060 Bruxelles, [http://www.schleiper.com/index.cfm]).<br />
<br />
I had good result with these papers:<br />
* White: CAN5084, 200g, or CAN271107 160g, 75x110cm <br />
* Black: CAN361017, 160g 75x110cm<br />
<br />
Note that the ground sensors are quite reliable, but the e-pucks tend to get stuck if there are "hills" or steps on the ground. Try to use thick paper (at least 200g, the thicker the better) and do not put the sheets too close together or the will bend and the e-pucks will get stuck.<br />

'''''Abstract.'''''<br />
Lorenzo showed his experiment in which a e-puck swarm has to create a chain starting from a TAM.<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_1.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0|Beginning of the experiment - All the robots are looking for the TAM.]] <br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_2.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0|The epuck colored in green is the guardian of the TAM. It entered the TAM and is working as landmark for the other epucks.<br />
The next epuck, to enter the TAM will navigate around the guardian and then stop in order to start the chain. ]] <br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_3.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0|The epuck colored in magenta is in the tail of the chain. The next epuck will continue the chain after the tail.]]<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_4.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0| For short time it can happen that there are two chains due to rab communication delays.]]<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_5.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0| The chain is complete. From this moment the robot try to align in order to create a straight chain.]]<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_6.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0| End of the experiment - the chain is perfectly straight.]]<br />
<br><br><br />
'''''Issues'''''<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_7.jpg|thumb|center|upright=4.0| Mess in front of the TAM: When there is no tail yet, each epuck that enters the tam, starts to go around the guardian. It stops when<br />
it's able to see the guardian and the tam's led. This condition happens rarely due to the other epucks that try to enter the tam.<br><br />
Proposed Solutions:1- The use of selective send of the range and bearing. 2- Use a uniform probability to stop.]]</div>

==Thursday 5th Dec 2013 - Lorenzo ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''Abstract.'''''<br />
Lorenzo showed his experiment in which a e-puck swarm has to create a chain starting from a TAM.<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_1.jpg|thumb|left|upright=4.0|Beginning of the experiment - All the robots are looking for the TAM.]] <br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_2.jpg|thumb|left|upright=4.0|The epuck colored in green is the guardian of the TAM. It entered the TAM and is working as landmark for the other epucks.<br />
The next epuck, to enter the TAM will navigate around the guardian and then stop in order to start the chain. ]] <br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_3.jpg|thumb|left|upright=4.0|The epuck colored in magenta is in the tail of the chain. The next epuck will continue the chain after the tail.]]<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_4.jpg|thumb|left|upright=4.0| For short time it can happen that there are two chains due to rab communication delays.]]<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_5.jpg|thumb|left|upright=4.0| The chain is complete. From this moment the robot try to align in order to create a straight chain.]]<br />
[[File:Lorenzo_meeting_6.jpg|thumb|left|upright=4.0| End of the experiment - the chain is perfectly straight.]]<br />
