Organizer:

James P.G. Sterbenz, University of Kansas (US) and Lancaster University (UK)

Abstract:

This tutorial presents a comprehensive introduction to resilient and survivable networking. The target audience includes computer scientists and engineers who wish to learn about this emerging discipline.

Tutorial outline:

1. Motivation for resilient networks
2. Threats and challenges to the network
3. Problems with the current Internet, PSTN, and SCADA networks
4. Case studies in past failures
5. Architectural principles for resilient network design
6. Applying multi-level resilience to the protocol stack and planes

Biography:

Dr. James P.G. Sterbenz is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and member of the technical staff in the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center at the University of Kansas, and is a Visiting Professor of Computing in InfoLab21 at Lancaster University in the UK. He has previously held senior staff and research management positions at BBN Technologies, GTE Laboratories, and IBM Research. He has been a principal investigator and program manager for several DARPA and NASA funded research programs, including the DARPA Active Nets SENCOMM project.

He is co-PI of the ResiliNets initiative; his research interests include survivable, resilient, and disruption tolerant mobile wireless networking, active and programmable networks, and high-speed networking and components. He received a doctorate in computer science from Washington University in 1991. He is a senior member of the IEEE, and a member of the IEE (UK), IEICE (Japan), ACM, ISOC Interplanetary SIG, and IFIP. He has been program chair for IEEE GBN and HotI, IFIP PfHSN and IWAN, is a member of the IWAN and PfHSN steering committees, is on the editorial board of IEEE Network, and is a Division Editor for KICS/IEEE Journal of Communications and Networks.
