The international networking research community has begun to focus on ideas for a next generation Internet architecture. Before developing a next generation architecture, however, it seems appropriate to understand what exactly the problems are with the current Internet architecture. There seems to be widespread agreement that mobility and security are the primary problems stressing the current Internet, but exactly what the problems with mobility and security are, and in particular, whether the problems are architectural in nature, is under dispute. In this lecture series, we examined the mobility and security with the intention of understanding the current architecture and what might be done for a next generation architecture.

Vishal Misra together with Dan Rubinstein launched at the beginning of 2011 the company Silver Lining. This company is a very ambitious tech start-up arising from two professors of Columbia University, and has already attracted a lot of interest and a substantial amount of funding from investors. Silver Lining is developing a very advanced product in the area of content distribution networks that is expected to have high impact. Vishal Misra, co-founder and its current CEO, will give a first-hand account on the development of this interesting initiative.

La Feria Madrid por la Ciencia (The Forum for Science) is a key part of the Programa de Ciencia y Sociedad (Science and Society Program) that the Regional Government of Madrid launched in 2000, through the Dirección General de Universidades e Investigación (Directorate-General of Universities and Research). This Program seeks not only to promote dialogue between citizens and scientists, but also to increase the public’s participation in science.

Mext Interim Meeting 2007: Focusing on nemo global development

The conference will be conducted in English

On July 11th INDEA Networks held the Annual Inaugural Meeting of its Scientific Council in Madrid. The meeting marked a milestone in the establishment of the research foundation. This prestigious Council is comprised of eleven of the World´s top researchers in network technology.

The Council was introduced to dignitaries, including senior representatives from the Regional Government of Madrid, who created and founded the IMDEA initiative. Having formally accepted their positions as Members, these eminent experts proceeded to discuss various aspects of the Foundation’s scientific strategy, which will help to steer the direction of research to be pursued over the coming years.

The dominant paradigm in both IETF and IEEE 802.1 standards for shortest path bridges is based on link-state routing in layer two. This results on hybrid devices of router and switch.

The objective of this course is to learn how to model cellular systems for the use in optimizing the design of this type of network. The course will consist of the following parts:

• A revision of basic queueing models
• Analysis of cellular systems with a single cell
• Channel reservation strategies possibility for the design of systems that optimize performance whilst minimizing the probability of interrupting current sessions
• Models and algorithms to support the different priorities of existing users
• Flow guarantees to different users through models of service differentiation
• Hierarchical cellular structures

Meeting: IMDEA Networks Scientific Council

The meeting will be conducted in English

A systems approach to network coding and random coding:

• Explain how network coding is used in wireless networks
• Show an example of random coding to implement network coding

This talk on network and random coding is of particular interest to researchers tackling wireless, P2P and multipath routing.
