Programmable Network Services (290I), Winter'99

Anurag Acharya
Course number: 60962 (290I)
Time: Monday/Wednesday 9-10:50am
Place: Phelps 1401


Short description: This is a research course. It will explore the emerging area of programmable network services. I will present recent research results including infrastructures for programmable network services, programming models, service location, service instantiation, service control, service deployment and service integrity. A large part of this course will be a project. You will be expected to design or select a suitable network service, implement it (using an infrastructure that we will provide) and evaluate its performance. Projects may be individual or group. You can propose your projects. In addition, I have a set of potential projects. Regardless of the source, I will work with you to help define your project and to help you follow through. In addition to the project, you will be expected to read and critique four papers related to programmable network services and present one of them. You can select your own papers (subject to approval); in addition, I will provide a list that you can select from.
