INVITED TALKS
Engineering Reusable Software Libraries
Kiem-Phong Vo, AT&T LabsResearch
Libraries are integral to software development. Successful libraries arguably achieve the right balance among these software engineering dimensions:
1. requirement, i.e., fulfilling the correct anticipated needs;
2. architecture, i.e., being easily composable with others and evolvable as new requirements surface; and
3. scalability, i.e., using efficient algorithms and providing further means to customize and compose them for performance. This talk relates software engineering lessons learned by the speaker while writing a number of widely used libraries. |

INVITED TALKS
The Convergence of Ubiquity: The Future of Wireless Network Security
William A. Arbaugh, University of Maryland, College Park
Computing devices are shrinking while becoming more powerful. At the same time, several forms of wireless networking are experiencing exponential growth. What happens when these two trends converge, and what does it mean for security? This talk will provide a
short (and pitiful) history of wireless network security, followed by the speaker's view of the future of wireless network security and what security challenges must be solved before true ubiquitous computing can emerge. |
