10:30 Keynote #1:
Fighting Internet-based Sexual Exploitation Crimes Against Children
Brian Levine, University of Massachusetts Amherst
     
       
     [Abstract]
 
 
      Abstract:  Working with law enforcement and
      criminologists, my research group has been developing strategies
      to fight online child sexual exploitation. Investigators in the
      US and other countries have been using our Internet-based tools
      daily, acquiring evidence that has resulted in many thousands of
      arrests for child pornography possession since 2009. Over 100
      children have been rescued from abuse as a result of these cases
      in the last 12 months. 
       Using data and results from our project, I will provide an
      analysis of our view of the massive Internet-based child
      pornography trade. And I will illustrate our approach to
      problems in network-based criminal investigation. Our work
      demonstrates that even if "fully secured", the Internet would
      still play a role aiding and abetting crimes that harm persons.
      The project stands in contrast to security research focused on
      solving technical flaws that expose data or allow access, and to
      research where the victim can be protected with technical
      solutions. Addressing problems beyond technical flaws requires
      an interdisciplinary approach, as we have taken.

Spanner: Google's Globally-Distributed Database
Brian F. Cooper, Google
     
       
     [Abstract]
 
 
      Abstract: 
       Spanner is Google's scalable, multi-version,
      globally-distributed, and synchronously-replicated database. It
      provides strong transactional semantics, consistent replication,
      and high performance reads and writes for a variety of Google's
      applications. I'll discuss the design and implementation of
      Spanner, as well as some of the lessons we have learned along
      the way. I'll also discuss some open challenges that we still
      see in building scalable distributed storage systems.

Big Data -- Little Software?Thomas Gross, ETH Zurich
     
       
     [Abstract]
 
 
      Abstract: 
       The steps of accessing, storing, and transmitting "Big Data"
      raise many interesting problems. But big data sets also amplify
      any system or software inefficiencies when large data sets
      require processing. So the efficiency of the generate code (and
      the runtime system) is crucial if we want to see widespread use
      of applications based on big data. Adaptive software exploits platform and data properties to
      custom-tailor program executions to the current environment.
      However, modern platforms have many features that make it
      difficult to support adaptive software. Multi-core systems with
      a non-uniform memory architecture expose various asymmetries and
      complicate the runtime system's task of data management, yet
      even modest multi-processors exhibit NUMA properties. Processor
      features like prefetchers are difficult to model by a compiler
      and may influence the execution in unexpected ways. Finally,
      performance monitoring units are supposed to allow a
      (just-in-time) compiler to obtain the information needed to
      adapt the generated code. But current performance monitoring
      units are incomplete and, worse, subject to change over time. An
      adaptive software system needs performance data that is readily
      available, reliable, and stable. In this talk I will discuss our experiences in modeling
      modern systems and argue for portable performance monitoring
      units that allow higher levels of the software tool chain to
      rely on live performance data.  13:20	Concluding remarks 13:30	Lunch 14:30	End of Day 3
