Keynote: Challenges and Solutions for Millimeter-Wave Wireless Networks

Joerg Widmer, Research Professor, IMDEA Networks Institute, Madrid, Spain
One of the most promising options to significantly increase data rates in future wireless networks is to vastly increase the communication bandwidth. Such very high bandwidth channels are only available in the extremely high frequency part of the radio spectrum, the millimeter wave band (mm-wave).

Defensa Tesis Doctoral: The Role of Topology and Contracts in Internet Content Delivery

Syed Hasan, Estudiante de doctorado, IMDEA Networks Institute, Universidad Carlos II de Madrid
The Internet depends on economic relationships between ASes (Autonomous Systems), which come in different shapes and sizes – transit, content, and access networks. CDNs (Content delivery networks) are also a pivotal part of the Internet ecosystem and construct their overlays for faster content delivery.

Keynote: Internet of Vehicles - From Intelligent Grid to Autonomous Cars and Vehicular Clouds

Mario Gerla, Universidad de California, Los Ángeles, EE.UU.
Traditionally, the vehicle has been the extension of the man’s ambulatory system, docile to the driver’s commands. Recent advances in communications, controls and embedded systems have changed this model, paving the way to the Intelligent Vehicle Grid.

On the Past, Presence and Future of “Big (Internet) Data”

Dr. Walter Willinger, Chief Scientist at NIKSUN Inc., Princeton, New Jersey, USA
With peta-bytes of data that are continuously collected about various aspects of the Internet, how hard can it be to obtain an accurate picture of its traffic, its physical topology (i.e., router-level Internet), its logical overlays (e.g., the Web, online social networks), or its “dark” sides and associated activities (i.e. cyber crimes)?

Defensa Tesis Doctoral: Inter-domain traffic management in an evolving Internet peering ecosystem

Juan Camilo Cardona, Estudiante de doctorado, IMDEA Networks Institute, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid & Cisco Systems
The operators of the Autonomous Systems (ASes) composing the Internet must deal with a constant traffic growth, while striving to reduce the overall cost-per-bit and keep an acceptable quality of service.

Recent Research Insights from MIT Sloan's Center for Information Systems Research (MIT CISR): Expanding the Reach of Digital Innovation

Nils Olaya Fonstad, Research Scientist, Europe and LATAM, MIT Center for Information Systems Research (MIT CISR)
To compete in sectors where the customer experience is increasingly digitized, companies are scrambling to expand their portfolio of innovations – from new products and enhanced processes to complementary services and new business models. In the process IT units are figuring out how to share responsibilities with, and coordinate the efforts of, internal stakeholder groups, such as marketing, operations and R&D, as well as the efforts of external parties, such as vendors, business partners, start-ups, and even individual contractors and hobbyists. This seminar will be an opportunity to learn about and discuss the most recent research insights from an MIT CISR research project on digital innovation.

A Look at Basics of Distributed Computing

Prof. Dr. Michel Raynal, Professor of Informatics, University of Rennes, France
The talk will present concepts and basics of distributed computing which are important (at least from the presenter's point of view!), and should be known and mastered by researchers, and Master students. Those include: (a) a characterization of distributed computing (which is too much often confused with parallel computing); (b) the notion of a synchronous system and its associated notions of a local algorithm and message adversaries; (c) the notion of an asynchronous shared memory system and its associated notions of universality and progress conditions; and (d) the notion of an asynchronous message-passing system with its associated broadcast and agreement abstractions, its impossibility results, and approaches to circumvent them. Hence, the talk can be seen as a guided tour to key elements that constitute basics of distributed computing.

This is Why Adtech Can’t Have Nice Things

Mikko Kotila, Internet Researcher, Technology Innovator and Principal at botlab.io
By 2025 ad fraud will be the second largest form of organized crime, resulting in losses of up to $1 trillion in damages to the society, creating an unprecedented burden to national economies and tax payers. In this talk you will gain deep insight in to various aspects of the problem; the three modes of ad fraud, money flows, botnet hunting, spam-site detection, adversary profiles and researcher safety. The talk is aimed at researchers, and includes many information that has never been disclosed to public.
