PhD Thesis defense: The Role of Topology and Contracts in Internet Content Delivery

Syed Hasan, PhD Student, IMDEA Networks Institute and University Carlos III of 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.

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)?
