OpenFlow Switching Technology for Programmable Network
Wed, Dec 02, 2009 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Refreshments will be served at 10:00amAbstract:
Future Internet technologies have been discussed in USA, EU and Japan. Among many activities, OpenFlow Switching begins to attract researchers recently.In this seminar, I will talk about NEC's stance and activities around OpenFlow Switching. We first discuss the background & our motivation followed by OpenFlow-based cloud architecture. We then discuss NEC's OpenFlow switch prototype and OpenFlow controller research prototype.Biography:
Motoo Nishihara, Senior Manager of NEC System IP Core Research Laboratories, Experienced in research and development of commercial products such as ATM communication systems, Multi-Media Multiplexing System for telecom carriers, IP routers, IP over ATM systems, Security Appliances (Spam Mail Filter, IDS).Recently, focused on research of OpenFlow Switching for data center, parallel processing, IT&NW integrated systems. 1985 BS, Univ. of Tokyo, 1994 MS-ECE, Carnegie Mellon Univ.Hosted by Prof. Viktor K.

Bayesian Network for Seismic Risk Assessment and Management Infrastructure Systems
Wed, Dec 02, 2009 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Armen Der Kiureghian, Taisei Professor of Civil Engineering,University of California, BerkeleyABSTRACT:A Bayesian network (BN) is a directed acyclic probabilistic graph encoding the interdependence between a set of random variables. In application to seismic risk assessment of infrastructure systems, the variables may represent uncertain demands or capacities, or the states of the system and its components. Upon entering evidence (observations) on one or more variables, this information propagates throughout the BN, thus providing an up-to-date probabilistic characterization of the system state as the available information evolves. The BN can be augmented with utility and decision nodes to provide a tool for optimal decision making under uncertain and evolving information. This talk will demonstrate the usefulness of the BN methodology for risk assessment and management of infrastructure systems that are subject to earthquake hazard. An application to the proposed California High Speed Rail system will be presented.
