Some time earlier this year I was asked to be a panelist in the second Queen’s Graduate Computing Society Conference. At the time, I thought it would be a good idea to expose the students that there’s more to networks than streams of data and routers.
More recently, I had a chance to revisit the topic. With more time to present than before, I thought I’d give the talk more depth.
My inspiration for the talk came from two books that offered a general view of Networks. One by M. E. J. Newman called “Networks: An Introduction“, the other by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg called “Networks, Crowds, and Markets: Reasoning About a Highly Connected World“.
You can find my slides here. Also, a “write up” version ought to be coming up soon.

The 9th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (IEEE/IFIP EUC’11) will be held in Melbourne, Australia, October 24-26, 2011. A dedicated track in EUC’11 focuses on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The conference offers a great inter-disciplinary opportunity to discuss fundamental challenges and to report on recent progress and experiences on all aspects of embedded and ubiquitous computing. Selected papers will be published in Wiley’s “Concurrency and Computation: Practice and
Experience”.
Submission deadline is May 31, 2011 (11:59 PM, Australian Eastern Time, UTC+10 hours). Further details can be found at http://anss.org.au/euc2011/.
