DESCRIPTION:Hakim Weatherspoon\, Assistant Professor\, Cornell University
 &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbstract:&#13\;\nCloud computing is often compared to th
 e power utility model as part of a trend towards the commoditization of 
 computing resources. However\, today's cloud providers do not simply sup
 ply raw computing resources as a commodity\, but also act as distributor
 s\, dictating cloud services that are not compatible across providers. I
 n this talk\, I will discuss a new cloud service distribution layer\, ca
 lled a Supercloud\, that is completely decoupled from the cloud provider
 . A Supercloud give its users the illusion of their own homogenized priv
 ate cloud (albeit\, layered on top of one or more third-party providers)
 . Under the hood\, the Supercloud can include different hypervisors\, ha
 rdware architectures\, storage subsystems\, and connectivity fabrics.  L
 everaging a nested paravirtualization layer called the Xen-Blanket\, the
  Supercloud maintains the control necessary to implement hypervisor-leve
 l services and management. Using the Xen-Blanket to transform various cl
 oud provider services into a unified offering\, we have deployed a Super
 cloud across Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)\, IBM\, and Cornell Un
 iversity\, and performed live VM migration between the different sites. 
 Furthermore\, Superclouds create opportunities to exploit resource manag
 ement techniques that providers do not expose\, like resource oversubscr
 iption\, and ultimately can reduce costs for users.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBio:&
 #13\;\nHakim Weatherspoon is an assistant professor in the Department of
  Computer Science at Cornell University.  His research interests cover v
 arious aspects of fault-tolerance\, reliability\, security\, and perform
 ance of large Internet-scale systems such as cloud computing and distrib
 uted systems. Professor Weatherspoon received his Ph.D. from University 
 of California at Berkeley and B.S. from University of Washington. He is
