Today, the network infrastructure of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) undergoes constant evolution.

According to a doctrine known as connectionism, brain function and dysfunction depend primarily on patterns of connectivity between neurons. Connectionism has been explored theoretically with mathematical models of neural networks since the 1940s.

Ten years ago, few software developers worked on distributed systems. Today, developers often run code on clusters, relying on large open-source software stacks to manage resources. These systems are challenging to configure and debug.

We consider the problem of tracking a sum of values in a distributed environment where the input values arrive from k distributed streams.

There is an ever increasing gap between how the “common man” would describe the Internet and how a network researcher would.

Operators of distributed systems often find themselves needing to answer forensic questions, to perform a variety of managerial tasks including fault detection, system debugging, accountability enforcement, and attack analysis. In this talk, we present Secure Provenance, a novel approach that provid

Although there is a rich literature on methods for allowing the variance in a univariate regression model to vary with predictors, time and other factors, relatively little has been done in the multivariate case.

To enable fast software development, Facebook has widely used the PHP programming language. Although easy to learn and quick to develop with, PHP is known for incurring significant performance penalty. To address this, the HipHop compiler team at Facebook has been working on multiple fronts.

Peer-assisted content distribution has become more prevalent in recent years to match the increase of high-quality media on the Internet.

Mobility, in all of its forms, results in networks with varying degrees of connectivity. Providing communication services in such networks relies on solutions that treat these disconnections as an expected part of the system, instead of as an exception to be handled out of band.
