My Paper Got Accepted!!!

Ok.  First for a little background.

Back when I was still in school, I submitted a paper  to www.smc-it.org.  The paper was a short synopsis of what I did for my thesis.

The Third IEEE International Conference On Space Mission Challenges For Information Technology (SMC-IT 2009) is mostly organized by NASA Jet Propulsion Labratories.   The IEEE is "The world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology".  In addition to giving a ~25 minute presentation at the conference (July 19 - 23, 2009), the paper I will submit will be published in the proceedings!  I'm so so surprised, happy, and slightly mortified.
