11-12: Panel:

What makes a good paper?

This panel will discuss the key elements of a good paper and tips for avoiding common pitfalls.

Chair: Christophe Diot (Thomson)

Panelists: Anja Feldmann (TU Berlin), and Jim Kurose (UMass).

Christophe Diot received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from INP Grenoble in 1991. He was with INRIA Sophia-Antipolis from October 1993 to September 1998, Sprint (Burlingame, CA) from October 1998 to April 2003, and Intel Research (Cambridge, UK) from Mai 2003 to September 2005. He joined Thomson in October 2005 to start and manage the Paris Research Lab (http://parislab.thomson.net). Diot's research activities will focus on communication services and platforms for the future. Diot is an ACM fellow.

Anja Feldmann is a Professor at the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories (an Institute of the Technical University Berlin). Previously, she was a professor in the computer science department at the Technical University of Munich. Before that, she was a professor in the computer science department at University of Saarbruecken in Germany. Before that, she was a member of the IP Network Measurement and Performance Department at AT&T Labs - Research. Her current research interest is still network performance debugging. Starting from data traffic measurements over traffic characterization this leads to judging the performance implications of what we have learned.

Jim Kurose is currently Distinguished University Professor (and past chairman) in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts, where he is also Associate Director of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA).   He has been a Visiting Scientist at IBM Research, INRIA, Institut EURECOM, the University of Paris, LIP6, and Thomson Research Labs. His research interests include network protocols and architecture, network measurement, sensor networks, multimedia communication, and modeling and performance evaluation. Dr. Kurose has served as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Communications and the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and technical program co-chair of IEEE Infocom, ACM SIGCOMM, and ACM SIGMETRICS conferences, as well as others. He has received a number of awards for his teaching, including the IEEE Taylor Booth Education Medal. He has been the recipient of a GE Fellowship, IBM Faculty Development Award, and a Lilly Teaching Fellowship. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the ACM.  With Keith Ross, he is the co-author of the textbook, "Computer Networking, a top down approach featuring the Internet (3rd edition)" published by Addison-Wesley Longman.

12-13:30: Lunch

13:30-14:30: Invited talk:

Prof. Mark Handley (University College London)

Mark Handley joined the Computer Science department at UCL as Professor of Networked Systems in 2003, and holds a Royal Society-Wolfson Research Merit Award. He leads the Networks Research Group, which has a long history dating back to 1973 when UCL became the first site outside the United States to join the ARPAnet, which was the precursor to today's Internet. Prior to joining UCL, Professor Handley was based at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, where he co-founded the AT&T Center for Internet Research at ICSI (ACIRI). Professor Handley has been very active in the area of Internet Standards, and has served on the Internet Architecture Board, which oversees much of the Internet standardisation process. He is the author of 22 Internet standards documents (RFCs), including the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which is the principal way telephony signalling will be performed in future Internet-based telephone networks. Professor Handley's research interests include the Internet architecture (how the components fit together to produce a coherent whole), congestion control (how to match the load offered to a network to the changing available capacity of the network), Internet routing (how to satisfy competing network providers' requirements, while ensuring that traffic takes a good path through the network), and defending networks against denial-of-service attacks. He also founded the XORP project to build a complete open-source Internet routing software stack.
