Informatik-Kolloquium Date: October 1, 2008, 18:00ct. Room: IfI-Seminarraum 2.101, Goldschmidtstr. 7 Speaker: Prof. Lixia Zhang, Computer Science Department, UCLA; PhD. MIT, 1989; ACM Fellow and IEEE Fellow Title: Designing A New Routing Architecture for Future Internet Abstract: The last few years have witnessed a globally increasing efforts towards designing a "clean-slate" Internet architecture. In this talk I'll discuss why the original Internet architecture, which has the unprecedented success, can and should be changed over time. This talk will focus on the scalability challenges facing the Internet routing infrastructure today and describe the current efforts in developing a scalable global routing design. Biography: Prof. Lixia Zhang received her PhD degree from MIT in 1989 and worked at Xerox PARC before joining the faculty of UCLA in 1996. She was the designer of the RSVP protocol, as well as key contributor to many other research fields, including TCP traffic analysis, middleboxes, web caching, sensor networks, and more recently, resilience and security issues with the Internet architecture, including routing and DNS. Dr. Zhang is currently serving on the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), also co-chairing the IRTF Routing Research Group. Previously she served as the vice chair of ACM SIGCOMM (1999-2003), Co-Chair of IEEE Communication Society Internet Technical Committee (1995-2000), Associate Editor for ACM Computer Communication Review (1991-1999), and also served on the Editorial Board for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (1992-1998). She is a Fellow of ACM and IEEE. About UCLA Computer Science Dept and IRL Lab: With about 40 faculty members and 800 students, UCLA is one of the US's largest and most prestigious graduate education centers in computer and information technology. The dedicated efforts of its prominent faculty and exceptional students have coalesced to rank it among the top computer science departments in the world. The UCLA Computer Science Department is well known for its research in the design and analysis of complex computer systems and networks, and for its key role in the creation of the ARPANET -- the precursor to today’s Internet. One of the department's renowned alumnus, Dr. Vinton Cerf (Ph.D. 1972), has received the 2005 Turing Award, an award that is often recognized as the “Nobel Prize of Computing”. The Internet Research Lab (IRL) is part of the Computer Science Department. IRL's research areas include fault tolerance in large scale distributed systems, Internet routing infrastructure, Inter-domain Routing (BGP), and protocol design principles for large-scale, self-organizing systems. |
