Pour ceux qui étaient intéressés par le séminaire de jeudi, il y a besoin
d'envoyer une demande d'inscription gratuite mais obligatoire. Désolé, je
viens juste de l'apprendre et désolé pour le format doc envoyé en attaché.
J'espère que ça ne va décourager personne d'y aller. :-)

*Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de nos prochaines réunions XtreemOS, nous organisons, la
semaine prochaine, trois séminaires ouverts à tous:*

Evolution of the Linux kernel & virtualization technologies
Andrew Morton
Google
/

Jeudi 24 janvier 2008 - à 11 heures - Salle Michel Métivier/
/
/
/ Abstract: /
/
/Andrew Morton will give an overview of Linux kernel evolutions (memory
management, filesystem...). He will also focus on the various
virtualization technologies in Linux ((keywords: namespace,
virtualization, container, kvm, checkpointing...).

    * Short biography:

Andrew Morton co-maintains the public Linux kernel with Linus Torvalds.
He works with the other kernel contributors on merging new code into the
kernel.org product. Since mid-2006 he has been employed by Google. Prior
to this he worked for Digeo Interactive and at Nortel Networks' Australian
R&D laboratories. Andrew holds an honours degree in Electrical
Engineering from the University of New South Wales.

Context-aware self-adaptation in ambient intelligence environments
Yolande Berbers
Department of Computer Science
KULeuven, Belgium

/Vendredi 25 janvier 2008 - à 14 heures - Salle Michel Métivier/

    * Abstract:

Developing and deploying context-aware mobile and pervasive applications
that are adaptable to a broad range of high-end and low end systems, and
that adapt themselves dynamically in function of the context, is a
daunting task.
The contribution of our research within the pervasive computing domain
is a context-awareness infrastructure. The infrastructure provides
runtime support for (1) gathering, filtering, and reasoning on possibly
ambiguous or uncertain context information, (2) context-driven
adaptation of component-based mobile services and (3) context-driven
resource discovery, service reconfiguration and service mobility at
runtime.
Context is stored in an ontology to record online machine interpretable
information. We heave developed a coding scheme for ontologies that we
designed for devices with limited memory and processing capabilities
such as sensory nodes an smart phones.

    * Short biography:

Prof. dr. ir. Yolande Berbers obtained her MSc degree in computer
science from the K.U.Leuven in 1982. In 1987, she received a Ph.D.
degree in computer science with a thesis in the area of distributed
operating systems at the same university. Since 1990 she has been a
professor in the department of computer science. She spent 5 months
during 1985 and 1986 at the INRIA, France, involved in the Chorus
project. She was an invited professor at the University of Kinshasa
(Zaire) in 1988, and at the Franco-Polish School of New Information and
Communication Technologies (Poznan, Poland) in 1995 and 1996, and the
Université Pierre en Marie Curie (Paris 6) in 2006. She teaches advanced
courses on software for real-time and embedded systems, and on computer
architecture.
Her research interests include software engineering for embedded
software, ubiquitous computing, service architectures, middleware,
real-time systems, component-oriented software development, distributed
systems, environments for distributed and parallel applications, mobile
agents. She is currently coordinator of CoDAMoS (Context-Driven
Adaptation of Mobile Services), an ambient intelligence project with 3
other Belgian universities (UGent, VUB and LUC) and 18 industrial
partners. She is further involved as a partner in one FP6 European IP
project, 3 ITEA European projects, a Dutch ESI project, and several
national project.
She is co-founder of EuroSys, a European Association for the advancement
of systems research in Europe, linked with ACM SIGOPS.
She has more than 50 scientific publications in the last five years. She
has been serving in the program committee of several conferences and
workshops. She was local organizer of the 6th International Conference
On Reliable Software Technologies (Leuven, 14-18 May 2001), and was
general chair of the 11th ACM SIGOPS European Workshop (Leuven, 20-23
September 2004) and of the first conference of EuroSys: EuroSys2006
(Leuven, 18-21 April 2006). She is co-general chair of Middleware08
which will be held in Leuven in December 2008.
Yolande Berbers is the mother of four children.

Computing Resiliency
Stephen Scott
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA
/
/
/Vendredi 25 janvier 2008 - à 15 heures - Salle Michel Métivier/

    * Abstract:

Recent trends in high-performance computing (HPC) systems have clearly
indicated that future increases in performance, above those resulting
from the improvement in single-processor performance, will be achieved
through corresponding increases in system scale resulting in a
significantly higher component count. As the raw computational
performance of the world's fastest HPC systems increase from current
tera-scale through peta-scale and even beyond, their number of
computational, networking, and storage components will grow from the
current ten-to-one-hundred thousand compute nodes to several hundreds of
thousands of compute nodes and more. This substantial growth in system
scale poses a challenge for HPC system and application software with
respect to reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS).

At Oak Ridge, my team is working toward the goal of system and
application resiliency where the computing environment is able to
quickly recover from failures (without user intervention) and to
continue on to task completion. In this talk, I will cover some of the
issues affecting RAS for HPC, some of the solutions under development by
my team, and some opportunities for community involvement.

    * Short biography

Dr. Stephen L. Scott is a Senior Research Scientist in the Computer
Science Group of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at the
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, USA. Dr. Scott's
research interest is in experimental systems with a focus on high
performance distributed, heterogeneous, and parallel computing. He is a
founding member of the Open Cluster Group (OCG) and Open Source Cluster
Application Resources (OSCAR). Within this organization, he has served
as the OCG steering committee chair, as the OSCAR release manager, and
as working group chair. Dr. Scott is the project lead principal
investigator for the Modular Linux and Adaptive Runtime support for HEC
OS/R research (MOLAR) research team. This multi-institution research
effort, funded by the Department of Energy -- Office of Science,
concentrates on adaptive, reliable, and efficient operating and runtime
system solutions for ultra-scale scientific high-end computing (HEC) as
part of the Forum to Address Scalable Technology for Runtime and
Operating Systems (FAST-OS). Dr. Scott is also principal investigator of
a project investigating techniques in virtualized system environments
for petascale computing and is involved with a related storage effort
that is investigating the advantages of storage virtualization in
petascale computing environments. Dr. Scott is the chair of the
international Scientific Advisory Committee for the European
Commission's XtreemOS project. Stephen has published numerous papers on
cluster and distributed computing and has both a Ph.D. and M.S. in
computer science. He is also a member of ACM, IEEE Computer, and IEEE
Task Force on Cluster Computing.
