update Calagator::Event 1250463023 Software Defined Networking, OpenFlow, ARCCN, and the Skolkovo Innovation Centre Roll back

description Software Defined Networking (SDN) replaces dedicated network hardware with standards based software running on servers that implements the control plane of switches and routers. Dr. Turbyfill, Director of Engineering at The Applied Research Center for Computer Networks (ARCCN), a non-profit organization, located in the Skolkovo Innovation Center, Russia’s answer to Silicon Valley, will discuss ARCCN’s SDN work and ARCCN’s relationship with Skolkovo. The Skolkovo Innovation Centre goal is “to concentrate international intellectual capital, thereby stimulating the development of break-through projects and technologies.” ARCCN is focused on creating enabling technologies for the next generation of computer technology. Its vision is to develop a world class Russian center specializing in SDN “to commoditize network hardware and provide a standard-based application development platform taking much of the features and functionality that exist inside custom proprietary software and driving it into an open SDN space.” OpenFlow is an example of SDN. "OpenFlow offers a standard-based Application Programming Interface or API that links an Ethernet switch and a controller. This offers a model in which layer 2 Ethernet switches are low-cost merchant silicon based devices where flows are directed by a centralized controller(s). ARCCN is building collaborative relationships with international academic, research and commercial organizations to achieve its goals. A light dinner of pizza and beverage will be supplied. <a href="https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_registration/register/14997"> Registration fee: </a> IEEE Members: $4; Non-members: $6 <b> Speaker Biography: </b> <i>Dr. Turbyfill</i> holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Her first research project in the field of Computer Science was the Wisconsin Benchmark that pioneered benchmarks by which relational database systems are measured today. She has advanced her career with milestones consisting of the first commercial implementations of leading edge products such as: the first firewall appliance, SunScreen SPF-100 and SKIP, one of the first commercial Virtual Private Networks (VPN); the first managed security service and the first round trip email marketing service. While at Sun Microsystems, she worked with CISSP, a coalition of companies, on changing export controls on encryption. As VP of Engineering at StackSafe, she led the team that developed the StackSafe Test Center, which was named the 2008 ITIL Innovation of the Year.
