DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Mogul\, Networking and Communications Lab\, Hewlet Pac
 kard\nAbstract\nSoftware-Defined Networking (SDN) promises to enable vigor
 ous innovation\, through separation of the control plane from the data p
 lane\, and to enable novel forms of network management\, through a contro
 ller that uses a global view to make globally-valid decisions. The desig
 n of SDN controllers creates novel challenges\; much previous work has fo
 cussed on making them scalable\, reliable\, and efficient.\nWe argue that
 \, to control a realistic network\, we do not want one monolithic SDN con
 troller.  Instead\, we want to compose the effects of many controller mo
 dules managing different aspects of the network\, which may be competing 
 for resources.  Each module will try to optimize one or more objectives\
 ; we address the challenge of how to coordinate between these modules to 
 optimize an overall objective function. Our framework design\, Corybanti
 c\, focusses on achieving both modular decomposition and maximizing the o
 verall value delivered by the controller's decisions.\n\nBiography\nJeff 
 Mogul is a Fellow at HP Labs\, doing research primarily on computer networ
 ks and operating systems issues for enterprise and cloud computer systems\
 ; previously\, he worked at the DEC/Compaq Western Research Lab.  He rec
 eived his PhD from Stanford in 1979\, and is an ACM Fellow.  Jeff is the
  author or co-author of several Internet Standards\; he contributed exten
 sively to the HTTP/1.1 specification. He was an associate editor of Inte
 rnetworking: Research and Experience\, and has been the chair or co-chair
  of a variety of conferences and workshops\, including SIGCOMM\, OSDI\, a
 nd ANCS.  He is currently co-chairing NSDI 2013.
