Wed, Jun 01, 2016 @ 03:45 PM - 05:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Mark E. Dixon, Farnaz Azmoodeh, Dave Schrader, Ali Khoshgozaran, IBM Global Business Services, Snapchat, Teradata University Network, Teradata University Network
Talk Title: Big Data Industry Seminar
Series: IMSC Big Data Industry Seminar
Abstract: Speaker: Mark E. Dixon
Solutions Architect , Watson Healthcare
IBM Global Business Services
Title: Enthralled by the Immediate - why humans need cognitive systems
The talk asserts that human beings are designed to survive today, but not necessarily tomorrow - we do not do a good job of creating our future our engineered and complex world. The talk offers some examples of vestigal neuroanatomical issues and cognitive challenges we must overcome to proceed in a more enlightened manner.

Speaker: Farnaz Azmoodeh
Eng. Director on Monetization,
Snapchat
Title: Digital advertising

Speaker: Dave Schrader
Sports Analytics Educator,
Teradata University Network
Title: Big Data and Sports Analytics
It's the Golden Age of Sports Analytics, especially because of
wearables and better video analytics for Baseball, Basketball,
Football, and Soccer. Big data is also helping improve injury
prediction and prevention - as I'll show using case studies.

Tilofy Inc.
Title: Trend Forecasting:
Are You Ready for Your Unfair Advantage?
In a world where data and communication move at the speed of light, businesses struggle to remain relevant due to their inability to stay ahead of every curve. We have built a trend forecasting platform that identifies emerging trends long before they become mainstream to assist businesses in
transforming insights from the future into triggers for the right course of action today.

CS Seminar: Justine Sherry (UC Berkeley) - Middleboxes As A Cloud Service

Speaker: Justine Sherry, UC Berkeley
Talk Title: Middleboxes As A Cloud Service
Series: CS Seminar Series
Abstract: Today's networks do much more than merely deliver packets. Through the deployment of middleboxes, enterprise networks today provide improved security -- e.g., filtering malicious content -- and performance capabilities -- e.g., caching frequently accessed content. Although middleboxes are deployed widely in enterprises, they bring with them many challenges: they are complicated to manage, expensive, prone to failures, and challenge privacy expectations.
In this talk, we aim to bring the benefits of cloud computing to networking. We argue that middlebox services can be outsourced to cloud providers in a similar fashion to how mail, compute, and storage are today outsourced. We begin by presenting APLOMB, a system that allows enterprises to outsource middlebox processing to a third party cloud or ISP. For enterprise networks, APLOMB can reduce costs, ease management, and provide resources for scalability and failover. For service providers, APLOMB offers new customers and business opportunities, but also presents new challenges. Middleboxes have tighter performance demands than existing cloud services, and hence supporting APLOMB requires redesigning software at the cloud. We re-consider classical cloud challenges including fault-tolerance and privacy, showing how to implement middlebox software solutions with throughput and latency 2-4 orders of magnitude more efficient than general-purpose cloud approaches. Some of the technologies discussed in this talk are presently being adopted by industrial systems used by cloud providers and ISPs
Biography: Justine Sherry is a computer scientist and doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley. She will be starting as an assistant professor in the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon in July 2017. Her interests are in computer networking; her work includes middleboxes, networked systems, measurement, cloud computing, and congestion control. Justine's dissertation focuses on new opportunities and challenges arising from the deployment of middleboxes -- such as firewalls and proxies -- as services offered by clouds and ISPs. Justine received her MS from UC Berkeley in 2012, and her BS and BA from the University of Washington in 2010. She is an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, has won paper awards from both USENIX NSDI and ACM SIGCOMM, and is always on the lookout for a great cappuccino.
