Designing Next Generation Cluster-basedData Centers: Clusters have emerged as the most cost-effective solution for designing high performance computing platforms as well as data centers for supporting a wide variety of scientific and Web-based applications. The critical nature of many applications, in particular Internet-based services, mandates that in addition to providing high and predictable performance, these servers should run (24X7) irrespective of inevitable failures. Furthermore, the energy consumption of these servers and the associated thermal problems have exacerbated to a point such that power and thermal-aware design has become a necessity.
In this talk, I will discuss several research challenges in designing high performance, energy-efficient, QoS capable, and dependable data centers and summarize some of our current efforts in these directions. In particular, the effectiveness of using a user-level communication mechanism, such as the InfiniBand Architecture (IBA), in designing such date centers will be

BGP Security: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core routing protocol of the Internet. It makes it possible for individual networks to connect to each other through exchange of routing information so that there is end-to-end connectivity in the Internet. A series of studies, experiments, and real incidents recently have however attracted attention to the topic of BGP security. Since the routing exchange is typically based on trust, a compromise on the Internet routing infrastructure is considered possible and worrisome. In this talk, we will discuss the routing security aspect of BGP. After a brief background into the BGP machinery, various ways to achieve the required level of security in BGP will be presented. We will focus on resource public key infrastructure (RPKI), a solution that is gaining momentum at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
