Future of Computer Systems and Networks
Peter G. Neumann, Principal Scientist, SRI International Computer Science Lab

Track: Adaptive
Date: Tuesday, May 14
Time: 10:30am - 11:15am
Location: Winchester
This talk considers the lessons from the past and the implications for the future relating to secure, reliable, survivable computer systems and networks. Among other topics, Neumann considers the roles of architecture, principled software engineering, cryptography, risk avoidance, and risk management, as well as the relevance of various advanced research and prototype development efforts to the world, and the relative merits of open-source paradigms versus proprietary closed-source software.
Considerable background for this talk can be found on Neumann's Web site including Senate and House testimonies, and recent reports on survivability, composability, and the principles of system development.
