Advanced Technology Tutorials: December 14, 2000
Tutorial 1, 2, and 3: (9.00 to 12.30)
Tutorial 1: Current and emerging trends in cluster computing
Rajkumar Buyya, Monash University, Australia
Mark Baker, Portsmouth University, UK
The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity
microprocessors are making clusters of computer an ever more pervasive technology.
Clusters consisting of commodity-of-the-shelf (COTS) hardware components as well as
commonly used and freely available software are being found in all organisations
where high-performance or availability computing is required. The commercial success
of clusters has pushed them into mainstream general purpose computing. This
necessitates the need for a software tools and techniques that allows one to manage
cluster resources effectively in a manner that is acceptable to majority of users. In
this tutorial, we discuss current and emerging trends in cluster computing. In
particular we cover cluster technologies in the areas of architectures, networking,
single system image, management and application tools. We then move onto talk about
four deployed cluster systems that are being used in commerce, industry and research
environments. Finally, based on our experience, we summarise our findings, drawing a
number of conclusions about current clusters and then briefly discuss emerging
technology trends and how these will influence
clusters of the future.

Tutorial 2: Mobile adhoc networks
Sridhar Iyer, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
Samir Das, University of Cincinnati, USA
ABSTRACT:
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) consist of a collection of mobile wireless computers.
Such a network can be deployed rapidly because it needs no infrastructure, making it
useful in many applications such as home networking, search-and-rescue in remote areas,
disaster response, law enforcement and military operations. In mobile ad hoc networks,
different hosts communicate over wireless links, and messages may traverse multiple
wireless links before reaching their destination. In such a network, all hosts act as
routers. However, due to host mobility, routes may break frequently. This tutorial will
cover various link-layer, network-layer, transport-layer and application level issues,
that arise as a result of the host mobility in mobile ad hoc networks. It will also
discuss some current approaches to address these issues.
OUTLINE:
1. Introduction to mobile ad hoc networks.
2. Basics of wireless communication/networking.
3. Routing in mobile ad hoc networks.
4. Transport in wireless and mobile environments.
5. Adapting applications to mobile networks.
PRESENTERS:

Tutorial 3: Image and Video coding standards for Multimedia
Jacob Angustine, Silicon Automation Systems
B. Jagadeesh, Silicon Automation Systems
Introduction
Multimedia commands the growing attention of the telecommunications, consumer
electronics, and computer industry. In a broad sense, multimedia assumed to be a
general framework for interaction with information available from different sources
including video. A multimedia standard is expected to provide support for a large
number of applications. These applications translate into specific set of requirements,
which may be very different from each other. One theme related to most applications is
the need for supporting interactivity with different kinds of data. Applications related
to visual information can be grouped together on the basis of several features:
type of data (still images, stereo images, video, ...)
type of source (natural images, computer generated images, text/graphics, medical
images,...)
type of communication (ranging from point-to-point to multipoint-to-multipoint,
mobile,...)
type of desired functionalities (object manipulation, on-line editing,
progressive transmission, error resilience,...)
Multimedia standards have evolved based on these features to meet the requirements of
the associated applications.
Digital video/audio is replacing analog video/audio in many existing applications. A
prime example is the introduction of digital television that is starting to see wide
deployment. Similar developments are taking place in digital audio broadcast also.
Another example is the progressive replacement of analog videocassettes by VCDs and
DVDs as the preferred medium to watch movies. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 have been the key
technologies that enabled the acceptance of these new media.
This tutorial is intended to give an overview of the existing and evolving multimedia
standards, applications enabled by them, and future trends in the standardization
activity. Standards related to still image and video will be covered. We plan to cover
JPEG, MPEG - 1, MPEG - 2, MPEG - 4, JPEG2000 standards and enabled applications in this
tutorial.
Tutorial 4, 5, and 6 (13.30-17.00)
Tutorial 4: MPLS - Multi Protocol Label (Lambda) Switching
Rakesh Thapar, Marconi Communications, USA
MPLS is on its way to becoming the primary packet-switching technique for back-bone
networking. Over time, MPLS will probably displace ATM, frame relay and even IP
routing-based networks in carrier backbones. Also around the corner is the era of
Optical Networking. Will it be MPLS over IP over ATM or will it be IP over Sonet
or IP over DWDM? To answer these questions, we need to look at the technology for
today's network and what is available in the near future. MPLS stands for Multi
Protocol Label Switching and also, rather confusingly, Multi Protocol Lambda Switching.
This tutorial will go into the IP switching, MPLS over ATM, MPLS over IP routers and
then optical switching using MPLS.
OUTLINE:
An overview of IP routing and IP deployment in WANs today
MPLS: Need for it, overview and advantages
MPLS: detailed view
MPLS: possible deployment scenarios
Optical Networking: basic elements
Future networks, direction of Service Provider networks
PRESENTER:
Dr. Rakesh Thapar is currently the Director of the Next Generation Service Provider
Switch at Marconi Communications (formerly FORE Systems) in Pittsburgh, USA.
He has been with the company for 4 years. Prior to that Dr. Thapar was Research
Professor at the Interoperability Lab of University of New Hampshire (USA) where he
helped run the ATM consortium. Dr. Thapar has also held teaching positions at
Northeastern University, Boston University, University of New Hampshire and University
of Roorkee
.
Tutorial 5: Silicon computation of loops
Sanjay Rajopadhye, IRISA, France
The current trends in VLSI technology are driving the development of embedded
"systems-on-a-chip". Two key challenges here are fast and correct design, and high
performance. We contend that future solutions must involve (i) formal methods that
guarantee correct-by-construction design and (ii) high degree of parallelism. For a
large class of data and/or computation intensive applications likely to need embedded
solutions, the *polyhedral model* provides a unified framework for reasoning about
massively parallel computations using formal methods. Originally developed in the
context of automatic synthesis of systolic arrays from systems of recurrence equations,
it today also provides a quantitative foundation for automatic parallelization of loops.
This tutorial presents the foundations of this model.
OUTLINE:
Foundations.
Data flow analysis of loops.
Scheduling.
Alpha: Alpha is a functional data-parallel language based on the polyhedral model.
We study its foundations and then see how an Alpha program is implemented
(compilation and high-level VLSI synthesis, viewed as two faces of the same coin).
Tutorial 6: Agent based software systems - System Level Issue
David Levine, University of Texas, Arlington
Krishna Kavi, University of Alabana, Birmingham
This tutorial presents software agent based systems from the system perspective.
We show an animated presentation with many examples of what agents are, how they have
evolved, their environment requirements (communication, mobility, etc.) and performance
considerations. We describe support tools and give code examples in various programming
languages, particularly in Java.
OUTLINE:
Introduction:
What are agents (including animated presentation)
The evolution of agents, with examples
Agent characteristics: autonomy, asynchronicity, intelligence
Example systems: analysis and design issues
Requirements: communication, mobility, state information, performance
Support tools and code examples
JAVA based: Aglets and Agenta
TCL based: TACOMA
A hospital/emergency room example
Network monitoring and Data Base examples
Future work and trends
PRESENTERS:
Krishna Kavi is currently a Professor and Eminent Scholar of Computer Engineering at
the University of Alabama, Huntsville. Prior to UAH, he was a Professor at the
University of Texas, Arlington, and has been a Program Manager at the National Science
Foundation, an IEEE Computer Society distinguished visitor, and editor of IEEE
publications. David Levine is currently a visiting assistant Professor in Computer
Science and Engineering. He has been a developer and program leader in industry and
academia and has extensive background in systems level programming. Both presenters
have developed and presented tutorials at conferences and have given invited talks on
computer systems topics. We have created research groups of students and faculty at
our universities that work on agent based systems, and are currently applying agent
technology to real world cases of hospitals, air traffic safety, data base and other
venues.

About Cochin
Undoubtedly the commercial hub of Kerala, the city of Cochin is where ancient
civilization gracefully mingles with modern life. Right from its early years,
Kochi had links with the outside world. Arabs, Chinese, Dutch, British and Portuguese
seafarers have graced the shores of Cochin and have left behind them a legacy in the
form of buildings, churches, and synagogues which have become some of Cochin's
favourite tourist attractions. Several hill resorts, game sanctuaries and other
spots of tourist interest are in close proximity to Cochin. It has an international
airport and several business and luxury hotels catering to different tastes.
