DESCRIPTION:Dr. Konstantina Papagiannaki - Intel & CMU Pittsburgh invited 
 by Prof. Patrick Thiran\nAbstract :\nWhile one could argue about the degre
 e of architectural change in the core of the Internet\, such a debate woul
 d not even exist in a discussion about edge networks. A tremendous shift i
 n the content produced and consumed inside homes has led to speedy deploym
 ents of fiber to the home and changes at the edge of the network to accomm
 odate traffic growth while limiting infrastructure deployment. A second dr
 amatic change at the edge network is the tremendous adoption of 802.11 and
  other wireless technologies by home users. As a result\, delivery of serv
 ices to the home may no longer be determined by the last mile performance 
 but by that of the home network itself\, urging service providers to exten
 d their demarkation point into the home itself. In this talk\, I am going 
 to discuss how one could potentially address the challenge of management a
 nd control of services delivered to home users while limiting operational 
 cost\, drawing the analogy between the evolution of service provider netwo
 rks and enterprise WLANs. Using my work in the area of centralized WLANs a
 s a starting point I will comment on potential solutions that could balanc
 e the cost and performance of advanced services to residential users.\n\nB
