Design Philosophy in Networked Systems
In this talk, I will present three of the great papers on the philosophy of how one designs networked systems.
There will be no graphs or performance benchmarks! Using the Internet as a reference, we will discuss the careful reasoning behind system design choices and how they effect other computer systems, human users, and even human society.
We will start with some technical themes: How do low-level systems choices impact high-level application capabilities?
We will end with some human themes: How do low-level systems choices reflect moral choices that impact high level societal tussles?

Bio
Justine Sherry is joining Carnegie Mellon University as an assistant professor in Fall 2017. Her interests are in computer networking; her work includes middleboxes, networked systems, measurement, cloud computing, and congestion control. Her recent research focuses on new opportunities and challenges arising from the deployment of middleboxes -- such as firewalls and proxies -- as services offered by clouds and ISPs. Justine received her PhD (2016) and MS (2012) from UC Berkeley, and her BS and BA (2010) from the University of Washington.
She is a recipient of the David J. Sakrison prize, paper awards at USENIX NSDI and ACM SIGCOMM, and an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Most importantly, she is always on the lookout for a great cappuccino.
