[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC-related Colloquium in DEAS - TODAY

Harvard University Computer Science Colloquium Series 33 Oxford St., Cambridge, MA 02138 Colloquium Architecture and Challenges for On-Demand Networked Utilities Jeffrey S. Chase Duke University http://www.cs.duke.edu/~chase/bio.html Thursday, September 28, 2006 4:00PM Maxwell Dworkin G125 (Ice Cream at 3:30PM - Maxwell Dworkin 2nd Floor Lounge Area) Abstract Managing shared cyberinfrastructure resources is a fundamental challenge for service hosting and utility computing environments, as well as the next generation of network testbeds and grids. This talk presents a resource control plane architecture for networked resource sharing based on a foundational abstraction of brokered leasing. I'll describe a prototype system called Shirako and explore its applicability to systems in which the resources are held in common by a community of shareholders, offered as a hosting service to customers, or contributed in a reciprocal fashion by self-interested peers. I will focus on three examples: secure on-demand clustering, grid hosting with adaptive resource control, and self-managing batch computation using virtual machines. Bio: Jeffrey S. Chase is a Professor of Computer Science at Duke University in Durham, NC. His research with Duke's Network and Internet Computing Lab deals with efficient and reliable sharing of information and resources in computer networks ranging from clusters to the global Internet. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars
