SUMMARY:Cloud Computing: A Networking Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Abhay Parekh\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley\nDep
 artment of Electrical Engineering\nand Computer Sciences\n20\n\nAbstract: 
 \nCloud Computing has recently received more attention than many exciting 
 Page 3 notables. It is a model of distributed computation which promises t
 o provide huge benefits to application providers and their users. Applicat
 ion providers have the illusion of infinite resources available on demand 
 and users can access complex\, data rich applications from any browser wit
 h a reasonable expectation of good performance. Perhaps more exciting is t
 he promise of drastically lowering the cost of deploying new applications 
 so that almost anyone\, from anywhere can provide a software service on th
 e internet which is available to all.\n\nIn this talk\, I will try to sepa
 rate reality from hype by taking a first principles view of the field. My 
 bias will be towards emphasizing the role of the network\, although I will
  cover other aspects as well. I will also outline some research challenges
 .\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nAbhay Parekh is an Adjunct Professor in the Dep
 artment of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Berkeley. He is 
 also a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor. Prof. Parekh's research f
 ocuses on Computer Networking. He received his S.M and Ph.D. degrees from 
 MIT. His papers on Generalized Processing Sharing are among the highest ci
 ted in the field and he has successfully applied his research to practice 
 at Bell Labs\, IBM T. J. Watson Research Center\, Sun Microsystems and at 
 FastForward Networks\, a content distribution company that he co-founded a
 nd sold for $1.5 billion. He is a winner of the IEEE William Bennett Prize
  Paper Award and the Infocom Best Paper Award.\n
