Important areas have been covered in such projects, such as Cloud Computing, HPC, and Future Internet. Joint projects with international partners lead to unique opportunities to Brazilian researchers, although they also pose challenges that are not often found in traditional, national projects. Opportunities and challenges are also faced by funding agencies, that need to assist researchers to achieve the full potential of international collaborations. In this talk, we will review the last international joint calls with Brazil, discussing their benefits, experiences, and lessons learned. We will also observe the faced difficulties and how such difficulties have been addressed, and finally we will provide considerations about future opportunities of international collaborations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-224\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/lisandro3.jpg\" alt=\"lisandro3\" width=\"93\" height=\"107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/lisandro3.jpg 189w, https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/lisandro3-99x114.jpg 99w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 93px) 100vw, 93px\" \/>Lisandro Zambenedetti Granville<strong>,\u00a0Ph.D.<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul<\/em><br \/>\ngranville at inf dot ufrgs dot br<\/p>\n<p>Lisandro Zambenedetti Granville is director of the Center for Research and Development in Digital Technologies for Information and Communications (CTIC\/RNP), president of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), associate professor on Computer Networks at the Institute of Informatics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), chair of the Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM) of the IEEE Communications Society, co-chair of the Network Management Research Group (\u0192NMRG) of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), and member of the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.proofpoint.com\/v2\/url?u=http-3A__cgi.br&amp;d=AwMFaQ&amp;c=1QsCMERiq7JOmEnKpsSyjg&amp;r=M9cMzOxWgxcq8nC_pq80Kw&amp;m=QbAJVsPYGAXC4MD4cqvi4-Y20OooHjElhZLcuErqcbg&amp;s=u8IyKbzcstxcBDPNJBhRB4PWATL7s6wYSmfeeDkGang&amp;e=\" target=\"_blank\">CGI.br<\/a>).

Federation of FIDC testbeds offers a promising value proposition for\u00a0both operators and end users, offering scale, geographic diversity, and resource heterogeneity,\u00a0while maintaining local control over resources, policies, and cost.<\/p>\n<p>Federation of FIDC testbeds occurs at several levels, but the first (and often most challenging)\u00a0step is the human-to-human and organization-to-organization process of establishing trust and\u00a0resource sharing agreements and the associated implementation policies. Once this step is\u00a0addressed, the technical implementation may include some or all of AAA (authentication,\u00a0authorization, and accounting) federation, control plane federation, and data plane federation.\u00a0Established or emerging standards exist for each of these aspects of technical federation, at\u00a0various levels of maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to strong researcher-to-researcher relationships, there are a number of very compelling\u00a0examples of federation between Brazilian and US testbeds, supporting a variety of research\u00a0collaborations. There is great potential in pursuing two promising paths for expanding the power\u00a0of these federations. One path is to agree upon and implement policies that simplify human-level\u00a0processes, moving toward routine, automated instantiation of federated infrastructure\u00a0configurations. A second path is to continue to expand research and infrastructure collaborations\u00a0to a broader set of participating countries and regions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-771\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Mark_Berman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"91\" \/><a id=\"MarkBerman\" name=\"MarkBerman\"><\/a>Mark Berman, A.B, S.M.<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>GENI Project Director<\/em><br \/>\nmberman at bbn dot com<\/p>\n<p>Mark Berman is Vice President for Technology Development at BBN and Project Director for NSF&#8217;s GENI project, with overall responsibility for GENI\u2019s technical direction and successful implementation.

In particular, many open research questions concern the relationship between cloud computing and high performance computing, the suitability of cloud computing for data-intensive applications, and its position with respect to emergent trends such as Software Defined Networking. A persistent barrier to further understanding of those issues has been the lack of a large-scale testbed where they can be explored. This is partly because a suitable experimental platform would require large investment in hardware and support for deep reconfigurability to provide the required support for reliable and reproducible research.<\/p>\n<p>With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Chameleon project provides such platform to the open research community allowing them to explore transformative concepts in deeply programmable cloud services, design, and core technologies. The testbed, deployed at the University of Chicago and the Texas Advanced Computing Center, will ultimately consist of almost 15,000 cores, 5PB of total disk space, and leverage 100 Gbps connection between the sites. While the primary investment in hardware deployed so far consists of primarily of homogenous hardware to support large-scale experiments, future capabilities will support heterogeneous units allowing experimentation with high-memory, large-disk, low-power, GPU, and co-processor units. To support a broad range of experiments, the project provides a configuration system allowing full control of the software stack, from provisioning of bare metal and network interconnects to delivery of fully functioning cloud environments. This talk will describe the goals, the building, and the capabilities of the testbed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-487\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Kate-small.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Kate-small.png 229w, https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Kate-small-81x114.png 81w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 76px) 100vw, 76px\" \/><a id=\"KateKeahey\" name=\"KateKeahey\"><\/a>Kate Keahey,\u00a0Ph.D.<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Computer Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, Computation Institute fellow<br \/>\nUniversity of Chicago<\/em><br \/>\nkeahey at mcs dot anl dot gov<\/p>\n<p>Kate Keahey is one of the pioneers of infrastructure cloud computing.

However, new emerging technologies, notably Internet of Things (IoT), bring with them new requirements to support mobility, geographical distribution, location awareness and low latency, requiring a new platform. To address these new challenges the cloud is migrating to the network edge. This evolution of the cloud demands a new paradigm that extends the cloud computing services to the edge of the network, to meet a new generation of services and applications. In this talk, I will present Chameleon, the LRC (Computer Network Laboratory)\/UNICAMP multicloud testbed, designed to meet the IoT requirements. Chamaleon consists of a hardware infrastructure with the capacity to hostmultiple cloud technologies and a software infrastructure to orchestrate the execution of distributed applications, integrate technologies and facilitate cooperation between the various levels of multicloud environments. Several applications that use Chamaleon will be commented, such as image processing applications, scientific workflows, sensor network applications, vehicular applications and Hadoop applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-798\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/EdmundoMadeira.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"98\" \/><strong><a id=\"EdmundoMadeira\" name=\"EdmundoMadeira\"><\/a>Edmundo R.

Society is dependent on networked computer systems and software for everything from running the smart grid that powers your house to social networking with your family and friends. The societal dependency has raised new responsibilities for scientists to develop sound methods and practices to protect computer systems from attack, as well as protect the user against privacy threats created by ubiquitous computer systems. The methods and practices must consider both threats from attackers looking to compromise systems, as well as the privacy and human factors considerations new systems bring to users. Cyber security scientists and engineers are also faced with the daunting task of not just securing systems against lone individuals, but also nation states using computer systems to carry out their political and military agendas. In this talk, I will discuss these challenges from the viewpoint of implementing security across layers of abstraction, and designing systems that protect user privacy and that take into account the social, behavioral and economic implications of security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-820\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Daniela_Oliveira.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Daniela_Oliveira.jpg 243w, https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Daniela_Oliveira-53x53.jpg 53w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 76px) 100vw, 76px\" \/><a id=\"DanielaOliveira\" name=\"DanielaOliveira\"><\/a>Daniela Oliveira<strong>,\u00a0Ph.D.<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Associate Professor University of Florida<\/em><br \/>\ndaniela at ece dot ufl dot edu<\/p>\n<p>Daniela Oliveira is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida.

We propose to explore whether the ALTO protocol can be extended to support advance-reservation dynamic L2-path and L1-circuit services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-388\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/malathi-veeraraghavan-picture-2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/malathi-veeraraghavan-picture-2012.jpg 154w, https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/malathi-veeraraghavan-picture-2012-92x114.jpg 92w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 76px) 100vw, 76px\" \/><strong><a id=\"MalathiVeeraraghavan\" name=\"MalathiVeeraraghavan\"><\/a>Malathi Veeraraghavan,\u00a0Ph.D.<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Professor<br \/>\n<\/em>mv5g\u00a0at\u00a0virginia dot edu<\/p>\n<p>Malathi Veeraraghavan is a Professor in the Charles L.

In a new collaborative project between Brazil, US, and Belgium, we are investigating a wide-area federated network environment where applications require deterministic network services (such as high quality video conferencing services). We are exploring research as well as technical challenges in establishing federation and coordination between three different sites located in three different continents. In particular, we are exploring how software-defined networking can be used in this federated environment to give service guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual machine migration is an important requirement in a data center networking to allow resource flexibility. We want to understand how migration works with the increase the speed of underlying networks in a data center. Our initiation assessment is that scheduling algorithms needs to be network-speed aware since the network speed reduces the time taken to migration VMs. In this collaborative work, we are considering new scheduling algorithms that are network- aware to show how performance can be improved. We are further continuing this work to consider the topological structure of the data center networks in addition to network speed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-831\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DeepMedhi-pic-620x620.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"76\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DeepMedhi-pic-620x620.jpg 620w, https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DeepMedhi-pic-53x53.jpg 53w, https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DeepMedhi-pic.jpg 647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 76px) 100vw, 76px\" \/><strong><a id=\"DeepMedhi\" name=\"DeepMedhi\"><\/a><strong>Deep Medhi<strong>,\u00a0Ph.D.<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>University of Missouri-Kansas City<\/em><br \/>\nDMedhi at umkc dot edu<\/p>\n<p>Deep Medhi is Curators&#8217; Professor in the Department of Computer Science &amp; Electrical Engineering at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA, and honorary professor in the Department of Computer Science &amp; Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati, India.

Using Mininet, one can compose an experimental network using a set of virtual hosts and virtual switches with flexibility. However, it is well understood that Mininet can only provide a limited capacity, both for CPU and network I\/O, due to its underlying physical constraints. We propose a method for combining simulation and emulation to improve the scalability of network experiments. This is achieved first by applying the symbiotic approach to effectively integrate emulation and simulation for hybrid experimentation. For example, one can use Mininet to directly run OpenFlow applications on the virtual machines and software switches, with network connectivity represented by detailed simulation at scale. We also propose a method for using the symbiotic approach to coordinate separate Mininet instances, each representing a different set of the overlapping network flows. By effectively distributing network emulation among separate machines, one can significantly improve the scalability of the network experiments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jasonliu_s.jpg\" alt=\"jasonliu_s\" width=\"80\" height=\"107\" \/><\/strong>PI: Jason Liu, PhD<em><br \/>\nSCIS FIU<br \/>\nliux at cis dot fiu dot edu<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jason Liu is an Associate Professor at Florida International University in Miami, Florida, USA.

At the same time, these networks also support scientific research processes. Researchers depend on the network infrastructure to share, store, and analyze research data from many different external sources.<br \/>\nCampus networks are normally not engineered to support the data movement requirements of data intensive science. Data intensive science applications experience poor performance on general purpose networks. Campuses serve multiple communities of interest. As a result, they are faced with the following challenge: How can campus networks be adapted to optimize flows from science applications without impacting the operation of their production networks?<br \/>\nThis talk explores the concept of the Science DMZ as a methodology to reengineer the campus network to support the needs of multiple communities of interest, in particular, the science research community conducting data intensive science, alongside production operation. The implementation of a Science DMZ at FIU&#8217;s campus is described. It is a component of a project called FlowSurge: a coordinated and coherent approach to bridging among different cyberinfrastructures by building a Science DMZ at FIU that can be tailored to support the needs of high-performance science applications and data-intensive flows.<br \/>\nResearchers, from their laboratory, will be able to (1) generate science flows to shared CI or CI- connected resources on the campus; at other campuses; or at regional, national or international sites.

Pacific Wave (which operates the West Coast International R&amp;E Exchange points) has recently been awarded funding from the US National Science Foundation to upgrade its capabilities and deploy SDX functionality across its facilities in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Sunnyvale (San Francisco Bay Area) and to add access points in several other locations. This is an integral component of the international effort to interconnect research and education networks using Software Defined Networking (SDN). In addition, NSF has funded a $5 million, five-year award to UC San Diego and UC Berkeley and their collaborators to establish a Pacific Research Platform (PRP), a science-driven high-capacity data-centric \u201cfreeway system\u201d extending the notion of a DMZ to a large regional scale. This project plans to utilize the Pacific Wave infrastructure to expand the boundaries of campus DMZ\u2019s across a wide geographic area and eventually to international partners. The PRP will give participating universities and other research institutions the ability to move data 1,000 times faster compared to speeds on today\u2019s inter-campus shared Internet and to establish (software defined and managed) virtual networks to support multiple science domains communities across the network. In this talk, we will discuss these developments and the associated measurement infrastructure that is being deployed to monitor network performance and troubleshoot bottlenecks. We will also describe some of the international projects that utilize the infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-936\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/John-Silvester.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"91\" \/><a id=\"JohnSilvester\" name=\"JohnSilvester\"><\/a>John Silvester<strong>,\u00a0Ph.D.<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>University of Southern California<\/em><br \/>\njsilvest at usc dot edu<\/p>\n<p>John Silvester has been with the University of Southern California since 1979 and is currently a Professor of Electrical Engineering.
