Abstract: A fundamental task in distributed systems (like the Internet) is to determine efficient routing paths between all pairs of nodes. For efficiency reasons, one frequently resorts to constructing approximate shortest path based on new node labels that encapsulate some hints on a node's location in its name. While the optimal trade-off between routing tables size and approximation ratio is fairly well-understood in this...

Dr. Antti Honkela has applied for a tenure track position at Department of Computer Science and will demonstrate his teaching skill by a lecture on Introduction to algorithms and machine learning. The lecture is public, but other applicants for the position should not attend.

Dr. Thomas Sauerwald (Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, Saarbrücken) will give a guest lecture on Randomized load balancing on networks.

We consider the problem of balancing load items (tokens) on networks. Starting with an arbitrary load distribution, we allow in each round nodes to exchange tokens with their neighbors. The goal is to obtain a...

Abstract:

Nanotechnology is enabling the development of devices in a scale ranging from one to a few one hundred nanometers. Nanonetworks, i.e., the interconnection of nano-scale devices, are expected to expand the capabilities of single nano-machines by allowing them to cooperate and share information. Traditional communication technologies are not directly suitable for nanonetworks mainly due to the size and power...

Over the last decade, the security research community has come to
recognize the importance of simultaneously achieving usability and
security goals when designing new protocols, applications and systems
for ordinary non-specialist users in the mass market.  Often the
primary motivation (from the perspective of designers) for usable
security arises when lack thereof will lead to a...

Dr. Teemu Kivioja will give a public test lecture titled "Sequencing methods for analyzing transcription" as part of his application for docentship in bioinformatics.
