Agenda
DAY 1
9:00-9:10AM Arrival & Introduction
Andy DiPaolo
This session will introduce the program for the day and introduce the key note speaker.
9:10-10:10 AM Keynote: Transforming Nations through Networking
Aravind Sitaraman, VP & MD, Cisco Development Organization, Cisco Systems India
10:10-10:40AM Break and Networking Session
10:40-11:20AM Reinventing the Internet
Guru Parulkar
Internet has been wildly successful and has emerged to be a critical global computing and communication infrastructure for the society. However, there is increasing recognition that it cannot serve needs of the society for the future due to its fundamental architectural limitations and emerging trends in technology and services. Stanford's Clean Slate Internet Design Program is aimed at answering the questions: if we were doing the Internet today with what we know and what is on the horizon, how we would do it; and what type of Internet we want for the society in 15 years and how we can get there. In this talk, I will outline our proposed approaches involving creation of key platforms for innovations and allowing ourselves and others to build on them to shape the future global computing and communication infrastructure.
11:20-12:00 Noon Network Infrastructure
Balaji Prabhakar
Data centers are emerging as consolidations of enterprise LAN and Storage Area Networks (SANs), carrying Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic. The transport requirements of these two traffics are quite different: Ethernet is best-effort and Fibre Channel offers lossless packet delivery. Providing a unified fabric poses several challenges and drives the Data Center Bridging standards in IEEE 802.1. We describe these challenges and solutions which are being developed and standardized.
12:00-1:30PM Lunch
1:30-1:50PM The Stanford University Story
Andy DiPaolo
1:50-2:30PM Keynote: Big Box Company Challenges in India
Dr. Kumar N Sivarajan, CTO, Tejas Networks
2:30-3:10PM Mobile Internet
Arogyaswami Paulraj
Paulraj will discuss 4G (WIMAX and LTE) broadband wireless technologies that will usher in mobile internet. His talk will include technology trends, product roadmaps, business case inputs and comparative performance. Target audience will be carriers and system integrators.
3:10-3:45PM Break and Networking Session
3:45-4:45PM Keynote
Harrick M Vin, VP (R&D) & Head-Systems Research Lab (SRL), TCS
5:00-7:15PM Reception for Attendees
9:00-10:00AM Keynote
Dr. Boby Mitra, MD, Texas Instruments India
10:00-10:40AM VLSI Design for the Future
Mark Horowitz
10:40-11:10AM Break and Networking Session
11:10-11:50PM Robust System Design for Nanoscale Technologies
Subasish Mitra
Enabling tools and technologies for building robust systems in scaled CMOS and emerging nanotechnologies, that are resilient to imperfections introduced by design errors and fundamental technology limitations, will be discussed. These techniques span multiple abstraction layers (circuit, architecture, virtualization and application), and enable global optimization across these abstraction layers.
11:50-12:30PM Computer and Network Security
John Mitchell
Many enterprises and their customers rely on security properties of the network and networked applications. In this presentation, Professor Mitchell will examine security issues at the network layer and interacting security issues at the application layer, including web application security.
12:30-1:30PM Lunch
1:30-1:50PM The Stanford University Story - Research and Education
John Mitchell and Andy DiPaolo
1:50-2:30PM Reputation Systems and Internet Advertising
Ashish Goel
Reputation systems are an essential component of web transactions; in fact modern search engines are best thought of as reputation engines since their main challenge lies in not just finding matching pages but deciding which ones are best. Professor Goel will outline challenges in designing good reputation systems and present incentive based approaches that extend to social advertising. He will then present new pricing and auction models for Internet advertising.
2:30-3:10PM Virtual Worlds
Vladlen Koltun
Virtual worlds are networked three-dimensional environments. They
simulate physical interaction in three-dimensional spaces and decouple
such interaction from geographic constraints. Virtual worlds hold the
promise of a rich new communication medium that can transform
collaboration in distributed organizations, global education, and the
practice of science and engineering. Professor Koltun will examine the
current state of the technology and describe ongoing advances in system
architectures and interaction techniques.
3:10-3:50PM Break and Networking Session
3:50-5:45PM Panel Discussion
