Our accelerating computational demand and the rise of multicore hardware have made parallel programs, especially shared-memory multithreaded programs, increasingly pervasive and critical.

The Internet's promise of open communication and transparency is threatened by both censorship (blocking communication outright) and manipulation (otherwise affecting the performance that a user experiences or the information that a user sees).

A memory abstraction is an abstraction layer between the program execution and the memory that provides a different "view" of a memory location depending on the execution context in which the memory access is made.

The Internet routing system is composed of millions of routers running one or more of several routing protocols---BGP, OPSF, IS-IS, RIP, EIGRP, DSR, AODV, OLSR, RPL---with the goal of guiding data-packets from sources to destinations.

John Resig, creator of the jQuery Javascript library and Dean of Computer Science at Khan Academy, will talk about the challenges and benefits of developing an educational website that scales to millions of learners every day.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) promises to bring unparalleled flexibility, configuration simplification and vendor lock-in removal. On the flip side, the SDN logic centralization requires a global renovation of network equipments.

Packet retransmission is a fundamental TCP feature that ensures reliable data transfer between two end nodes. Interestingly, when it comes to cellular data accounting, TCP retransmission creates an important policy issue.

Interdomain path changes occur frequently. Because routing protocols expose insufficient information to reason about all changes, the general problem of identifying the root cause remains unsolved.

Today's data centers must support a range of workloads with different demands. While existing approaches handle routine traffic smoothly, ephemeral but intense hotspots cause excessive packet loss and severely degrade performance.
