Hello NZNOGers, I'm an academic (see my UM page <https://www.um.edu.mt/profile/etiennedepasquale> and my ResearchGate page <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Etienne-Victor-Depasquale>), with a research interest in standardizing architectures for the benefit of energy analysts (like me). I'm asking for your help through your response to a questionnaire that forms part of an academic study that I'm carrying out <https://forms.gle/AAJokyg98JLW7Ti6A>. The study is directed solely towards facilitating understanding of metro area networks, for analysts who approach from the perspective of energy consumption. The study is anonymous (no individual or company names are solicited), and individual responses will only be used in aggregate. I have published interim data here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kJnEjukNDGC4JARuhgBI0HUUrQ8UNA-G71Aa6heaK8U/viewanalytics> (available until 8pm CET Friday 22nd July) I shall: (a) publish full data when I've received the quota of 50/50 and (b) correspond with respondents who would like a copy of the paper which I intend to produce with the results. Yours sincerely, Etienne -- Ing. Etienne-Victor Depasquale Assistant Lecturer Department of Communications & Computer Engineering Faculty of Information & Communication Technology University of Malta Web. https://www.um.edu.mt/profile/etiennedepasquale
