Georg Carle
speaker / organizer
Prof. Carle conducts research in the field of Internet technology, with a focus on future internet, network security, sensor networks, real-time communication and autonomous networks. Prof. Carle (b. 1965) studied electrical engineering at the University of Stuttgart (Diplom 1992). He spent periods abroad at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications in Paris and Brunel University in London, where he acquired a Master of Science in digital systems. In 1996, he completed his doctorate at the University of Karlsruhe’s Institute of Telematics. He was supported by a scholarship from the research training group on manageability of complex systems. In 1997, he received an EU scholarship for a postdoctoral position at Institut Eurécom at Sophia Antipolis, France. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS) in Berlin, he headed the competence center ‘Global Networking’. In December 2002, he was appointed to the University of Tübingen’s newly-created Chair of Computer Networks and Internet. He joined the professorial faculty at TUM in April 2008.

Serge Fdida is a Professor with Sorbonne Université (formally with UPMC) since 1995. His research interests are related to the future internet technology and architecture. He has been leading many research projects in Future Networking in France and Europe, notably pioneering the European activity on federated Internet testbeds. He is currently leading the Equipex FIT, a large-scale testbed on the Future Internet of Things. Serge Fdida has published numerous scientific papers, in addition to several patents and one rfc. He is a Distinguished ACM Member and an IEEE Senior member. He was one of the founders of the ACM Conext conference, general chair of ACM Mobicom 2015 and IEEE Infocom 2019. Serge Fdida has also developed a strong experience related to innovation and industry transfer, – he was the co-founder of the Qosmos company, – one of the active contributors to the creation of the Cap Digital cluster in Paris, and currently the President of the EIT Health French community. He held various community and management responsibilities in various organizations including Sorbonne Université and CNRS. Serge Fdida is Vice President for International Development of Sorbonne University.
Henning Schulzrinne
speaker / organizer
He has been working on voice-over-Internet protocols that now power voice communications for modern mobile phones, enterprise, consumer, and public safety applications. From 2010 through 2019, he advised the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), including in his former role as FCC Chief Technologist, on public safety, enabling communications for people with disabilities, the Open Internet, cybersecurity, network measurements, and preventing robocalling. From 2019 to 2020, he served as a Technology Fellow in the office of Senator Ron Wyden, advancing efforts to protect data against illegal searches, improving broadband availability for rural and low-income households, and preventing identity theft. Since December 2022, he has acted as Broadband Advisor to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), working on broadband deployment for rural and low-income areas. Schulzrinne and his team have developed the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), and other multimedia signaling and support protocols that are used in the 3GPP, CableLabs, NENA NG911 (for emergency calls) and other system standards to support VoIP and multimedia streaming applications. Most recently, he has been working on automating the diagnostics of Internet network faults, protecting the electric grid against cyber-attacks, and scaling up the Internet of Things. Schulzrinne received his undergraduate education at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, his MSEE at the University of Cincinnati, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 1992. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM.
Kate Keahey
speaker / organizer
Kate Keahey is one of the pioneers of infrastructure cloud computing. She created the Nimbus project, recognized as the first open source Infrastructure-as-a-Service implementation, and continues to work on research aligning cloud computing concepts with the needs of scientific datacenters and applications. To facilitate such research for the community at large, Kate leads the Chameleon project, providing a deeply reconfigurable, large-scale, and open experimental platform for Computer Science research. To foster the recognition of contributions to science made by software projects, Kate co-founded and serves as co-Editor-in-Chief of the SoftwareX journal, a new format designed to publish software contributions. Kate is a Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and a Senior Fellow at the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago.
