DESCRIPTION:Nathan Foster\nAbstract: Historically\, the fields of program
 ming languages and networking have operated in relative isolation: applica
 tions execute on end hosts and communicate over the network using standard
  protocols. However\, the landscape has undergone a significant transforma
 tion in the past decade\, driven by the needs of large-scale systems and t
 he emergence of programmable network hardware. Today\, it is possible to d
 esign and implement custom protocols or even to relocate application-level
  functionality into the network fabric. This talk will highlight the pivot
 al role that programming languages are playing in modern networks and disc
 uss how experiences designing domain-specific abstractions and reasoning t
 ools can provide fresh insights that enrich the field of programming langu
 ages.\n\nBiography: Nate Foster is a Professor of Computer Science at Cor
 nell University and a Visiting Researcher at Jane Street. During the 2023-
 24 academic year he is also a Visiting Professor at EPFL in the Data Cente
 r Systems Laboratory. He is the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award\, Sloan 
 Research Fellowship\, ACM SIGCOMM Rising Star Award\, and ACM SIGPLAN Robi
 n Milner Award.
