Visible light communications are becoming a major short range wireless communication technology. Incorporating communication into existing lighting infrastructure, VLCs are potential candidate for future indoor communications.

The standard interference functions introduced by Yates have been very influential on the analysis and design of distributed power control laws. While powerful and versatile, the framework has some drawbacks: the existence of fixed-points has to be established separately, and no guarantees are given on the rate of convergence of the iterates.

Imagine a network in which you address information: literally, packet-level addressing of *information* rather than hosts. For example, you may request the front page of El País with a request packet addressed to "the front page of El País"! Then the network forwards the request to some server that can produce the right data (possibly cached) and then delivers that data back to you. 

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.

Programmable networks or Software Defined Networking (SDN) offers new opportunities to manage computer networks: Make networks smart, introduce new service faster.

The availability of data on digital traces is growing to unprecedented sizes, but inferring actionable knowledge from large-scale data is far from being trivial.

Mixing time is a global property of a network that indicates how fast a random walk gains independence from its starting point. Mixing time is an essential parameter for many distributed algorithms, but especially those based on gossip.

In this talk I present our research results in the field of network protocols for secure host authentication and mobility,...

We have experienced an era in the world of innovation where the stars have been the entrepreneurs. Small startups or even individuals were able to turn their ideas into big business and, in many cases, overcome large companies with a long tradition in the market.

Middleboxes, such as proxies, firewalls and NATs play an important role in the modern Internet ecosystem. On one hand, they perform advanced functions, e.g. traffic shaping, security or enhancing application performance.
