Fighting Internet-based Sexual Exploitation Crimes Against Children
Brian Levine, University of Massachusetts Amherst
[Abstract]
Abstract: Working with law enforcement and
criminologists, my research group has been developing strategies
to fight online child sexual exploitation. Investigators in the
US and other countries have been using our Internet-based tools
daily, acquiring evidence that has resulted in many thousands of
arrests for child pornography possession since 2009. Over 100
children have been rescued from abuse as a result of these cases
in the last 12 months.
Using data and results from our project, I will provide an
analysis of our view of the massive Internet-based child
pornography trade. And I will illustrate our approach to
problems in network-based criminal investigation. Our work
demonstrates that even if "fully secured", the Internet would
still play a role aiding and abetting crimes that harm persons.
The project stands in contrast to security research focused on
solving technical flaws that expose data or allow access, and to
research where the victim can be protected with technical
solutions. Addressing problems beyond technical flaws requires
an interdisciplinary approach, as we have taken.

Spanner: Google's Globally-Distributed Database
Brian F. Cooper, Google
[Abstract]
Abstract:
Spanner is Google's scalable, multi-version,
globally-distributed, and synchronously-replicated database. It
provides strong transactional semantics, consistent replication,
and high performance reads and writes for a variety of Google's
applications. I'll discuss the design and implementation of
Spanner, as well as some of the lessons we have learned along
the way. I'll also discuss some open challenges that we still
see in building scalable distributed storage systems.

Big Data -- Little Software?
Thomas Gross, ETH Zurich
[Abstract]
Abstract:
The steps of accessing, storing, and transmitting "Big Data"
raise many interesting problems. But big data sets also amplify
any system or software inefficiencies when large data sets
require processing. So the efficiency of the generate code (and
the runtime system) is crucial if we want to see widespread use
of applications based on big data.
Adaptive software exploits platform and data properties to
custom-tailor program executions to the current environment.
However, modern platforms have many features that make it
difficult to support adaptive software. Multi-core systems with
a non-uniform memory architecture expose various asymmetries and
complicate the runtime system's task of data management, yet
even modest multi-processors exhibit NUMA properties. Processor
features like prefetchers are difficult to model by a compiler
and may influence the execution in unexpected ways. Finally,
performance monitoring units are supposed to allow a
(just-in-time) compiler to obtain the information needed to
adapt the generated code. But current performance monitoring
units are incomplete and, worse, subject to change over time. An
adaptive software system needs performance data that is readily
available, reliable, and stable.
In this talk I will discuss our experiences in modeling
modern systems and argue for portable performance monitoring
units that allow higher levels of the software tool chain to
rely on live performance data.
