Bend, Don't Break: Using Reconfiguration to Achieve Survivability
Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science
We are becoming increasingly dependent on the continuous, proper functioning of
large-scale, heterogeneous, distributed information systems. These systems are
formed from large numbers of components originating from multiple sources
assembled into complex and dynamically evolving structures. The goal of the
Willow project is to design a secure, automated framework for the proactive and
reactive reconfiguration of large-scale, heterogeneous, distributed systems so
that critical networked computing enterprises can tolerate intrusions and
failures, and continue to provide an acceptable level of service. The framework
consists of two interrelated elements: an application architecture for
dynamically reconfigurable systems and a common infrastructure for building and
securely operating those systems. Willow is a blend of results from the
disciplines of fault tolerance, configuration management, and security,
building on a foundation laid by our previous research efforts.
The Willow project is a joint effort of researchers from the University of
Colorado Boulder, the University of Virginia, and the University of
California, Davis.
Hosted by Elizabeth Bradley.
Refreshments will be served immediately following the talk in ECOT 831.

The Department holds colloquia throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. These
colloquia, open to the public, are typically held on Thursday afternoons, but
sometimes occur at other times as well.
If you would like to receive email notification of upcoming colloquia,
subscribe to our
Colloquia Mailing List.
If you would like to schedule a colloquium, see
Colloquium Scheduling.
Sign language interpreters are available upon request. Please contact
Stephanie Morris at least five days prior to the colloquium.
