Abstract: Bluetooth has been around since 1998, but most of us are still dealing with enough cables to tie ourselves in knots. Cell phones, arguably the biggest wireless success story, still don't work very well and uses different standards on most continents.  Wireless technology has such vast potential, and so much money is being pumped into the industry, there has to be a pool of bright individuals who can show us a map home. Discover Magazine has assembled a panel of experts to jumpstart the process. Bring your own ideas, but don't miss our panelists secrets.

Plenary Session

Keynote Address: Software in the Network: What Happened and Where to Go

Prof. Eric A. Brewer
UC Berkeley
Founder of Inktomi Corporation

Abstract: Starting in 1998, there were several major efforts to put flexible software in the middle of the network; examples include web caching, content delivery networks, overlay networks, and multimedia support. These systems are in stark contrast to the "simple core" view that has been a cornerstone of the traditional Internet design, but their advantages are real -- as are their disadvantages.

In this talk I start by looking back at what worked (e.g. scalable web caches) and what didn't (inter-AS protocols), and then look forward to the need for software in the network and how it might get deployed. Many challenges remain, only some of which are technical. Finally, we look at the basic tradeoff between features and flexibility for new services versus reliability for the existing services.

Panel: Betting on the Future: Wireless LAN or 3G Technologies

Moderator: Kin K. Leung, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies

- Gee Rittenhouse, Director of Wireless Technology Research, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies

 

Abstract: The success of wireless local-area networks (WLANs) is increasingly evident, and contrasts sharply with the continuing delays in deployment of 3G networks worldwide. One may even start to question if cellular architectures using 3G technologies are the most effective way to deliver high-speed wireless services that will be desired by subscribers accustomed to ubiquitous wired broadband networks. On the other hand, WLANs are limited to serve hot-spot areas and service providers continue to struggle with significant roaming and security issues, which might hinder their future prospects. This panel will address a broad set of issues and tradeoffs pertinent to using WLAN and 3G technologies for providing future wireless services.

Abstract: Application, network, middleware, and device providers are all counting on the creation of lucrative new services to kickstart their businesses. Many pay at least lip service to openness and open standards for these services, but their definition of openness often means "if you adopt my protocols at only slightly exorbitant licensing rates." In this panel we examine some different and often contradictory approaches to enabling open services and we challenge the panelists to justify their claims or definitions of openness.

Abstract: Today's unsettled telecom business climate provides us a timely opportunity to debate the reasons behind its past glory, present difficulties, and its future outlook. Many people believe that it is a very important time to continue to invest in telecom research and develop appropriate technologies and engineering solutions to meet and manage the (expected) growing bandwidth needs of our information society over the next decade and beyond. Optical networking--using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)--is believed to be the technology of choice for meeting these demands. In the years ahead, it is believed that there will continue to be a strong need for optical network architectures and switching equipment (including subsystems, devices, and materials) for efficiently managing high-capacity optical signals. This panel will address a wide range of technical and business issues for optical networks.

Network security: How good does it have to be?

Moderator: Catherine Rosenberg, Professor, School of ECE, Purdue University


Panelists: 
- Fred Cohen, Research Professor, University of New Haven and Fred Cohen & Associates 
- Brian Neil Levine, Assistant Professor, University of Massachusetts Amherst
- S. Felix Wu,  Associate Professor, University of California at Davis

Abstract: 

Network security has become a central concern for individuals, commercial enterprises and government agencies, all of whom depend on the Internet for communications and business. This panel will try to answer some of the following questions:

What are the emerging technologies in network
  protection and how will they impact your network (or your research)?
How good are things like firewalls and intrusion detection systems really?
What threat actors are there really out there and what consequences are likely to result?
What do terrorists actually do with computer networks?
  What is the role of government in information protection?
  What kinds of network surveillance are out there and how can they impact your use of the network?
How much privacy is left - what can you reasonably expect?
  Why don't we just encrypt everything and end all these security problems?
Are there good security standards you can use as guidance?
What would constitute due diligence?
How should network incidents be handled?
