Keynote #1

Evolution of Resource Allocation Algorithms and Protocols with Network Slicing

In this talk, resource allocation and scheduling practices will be put in perspective of recent evolutions in network architectures, with virtualization and slicing. The path from a single-resource central decision-maker (provider) toward a multi-resource, multi-provider, and multi-domain context will be traced along with novel algorithms and fairness measurements. More information about him can be found at: https://cedric.cnam.fr/~seccis/

Stefano Secci, Cnam, Paris, France

Professor and researcher specializing in communication networks, with expertise spanning routing, switching, virtualization, cloud networking, and advanced network protocols. He is currently leading and participating in multiple European and national research projects on 5G/6G, AI, edge computing, and network resilience, and has held roles as principal investigator, coordinator, and committee member on numerous initiatives. Prof. Secci teaches advanced courses at Cnam Paris and has served as the director of its Computer Science Department, contributing to several graduate programmes on computer networks and IoT systems.

Keynote #2

Embracing the Dice: Playing with Quorums to Derive Efficient Blockchain Consensus

Blockchains are key infrastructures for securing the decentralized web. At their core, blockchain networks rely on consensus protocols to define the order of transaction blocks in a distributed way. In this talk, new distributed consensus protocols will be presented, that accept the risk of failure in very unlikely executions, but that are extremely efficient under reasonable practical adversaries. The key idea of these protocols is to give up traditional quorum overlapping guarantees that underpin practical consensus and embrace weighted and probabilistic constructions.

Alysson Bessani, LaSIGE, FCUL, Lisbon, Portugal

Professor at the University of Lisbon Faculty of Sciences, Portugal, and the director of the LASIGE research unit. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from UFSC (Brazil) in 2006, was a visiting professor at Carnegie Mellon University (2010), and a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge (2014). Alysson coordinated/collaborated on 13 international projects and co-authored more than 120 peer-reviewed publications on dependability, security, Byzantine fault tolerance, and cloud storage. His work has been recognized with multiple awards, including two DSN test-of-time awards. He is also the original developer of the BFT-SMaRt replication library) and one of the co-founders of the Vawlt cloud storage startup).
