Jeff Dean (Google)
Host: Ed Lazowska
Research Challenges Inspired by Large-Scale Computing at Google
3:30 pm, EE Building - Room 105
Abstract: In this talk I'll give some background of Google's existing
hardware and software infrastructure. I'll then discuss what works
well and what does not, and I'll highlight some areas where we see
interesting unsolved research problems. The problems span a wide range
of topics, including processor design, distributed systems, machine
learning, information retrieval, text processing and many other areas.
This talk is meant to cover a sampling of interesting problems/areas,
not a comprehensive treatise.

Internet Evolution and Some Challenges for the Early 21st Century
3:30 pm, Atrium, Paul Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering
Building
Abstract: Although the Internet has been around for 35 years in
concept and 25 years since roll out, there are still many capabilities
that could improve its utility. Broadcast models of operation; dealing
with mobility and multi-homing, coping with persistent connections,
accommodating strong end/end authentication, expanding the address
space, dealing with multilingual domain names, implementing DNSSEC,
supporting an interplanetary extension of the Internet, adding more
security to all layers and a host of other features. We will explore
many of these in this talk.
