An Introduction to NetApp
Tue, Mar 24, 2009 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Steven Kleiman, Network Appliance
Host: Prof. Shahram GhandeharizadehAbstract:
NetApp is a $3B company you may not a have heard of, yet it stores the data of many of the world's largest companies. NetApp has a different approach to data storage. This talk will discuss some of these innovative approaches, and why data storage is such an interesting problem.Biography:
Steve Kleiman is currently Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist at Network Appliance and is responsible for setting future technology directions for the company. He has been involved with the design and development of file systems, UNIX and workstation architecture since 1977; first at Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he helped develop the first x86 based UNIX product, and then at Sun Microsystems Inc. At Sun he was a Distinguished Engineer and chief architect of clustered UNIX systems. Previously, as Chief Technologist for Sun's Interactive Services Group, he designed Sun's first video server product line. He was also the lead architect for multithreading and multiprocessing in Solaris and is a member of the POSIX Pthreads committee. He was the developer of the Vnodes file system interface and was a member of the original NFS development team at Sun. He was also the project leader of the original port of SunOS to SPARC. He received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1978 and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from M.I.T in 1977. He is the author or co-author of 17 conference or journal papers, 40 patents, and 1 book.Location: Olin Hall of Engineering (OHE) - 122

Quality Assurance Techniques for Web Applications
Tue, Mar 24, 2009 @ 04:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: William G. J. Halfond, Georgia Institute of Technology
Host: Prof. Nenad MedvidovicAbstract:
Over the past decade, web applications have become big business. They are used to provide a variety of services, such as banking, online shopping, and entertainment, to millions of users. Thisgrowth in web applications has driven a need for specialized quality assurance techniques that can help developers prevent security vulnerabilities and ensure that their web applications run reliably.Although there has been an extensive amount of research in the area of software quality assurance, the majority of existing techniques are not directly applicable to web applications. Part of the reason for this is that traditional abstractions used in these techniques, such as control-flow, data-flow, and interfaces, look very different in web applications. This talk provides an overview of my research in quality assurance for web applications and also discusses in more detail my working one aspect of this problem, interface definitions, and its application to test-input generation and verification of web applications.Biography:
William Halfond is a final year PhD student in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He works with Professor Alessandro Orso in the area of software engineering. He is interested in quality assurance techniques for web applications and has worked on various topics including program analysis, test-input generation, testing requirements, runtime analysis, and security.
