9 Mission Statement: Internet-Scale Systems Research Group Lead the evolution of the Internet through fundamental protocol and network-centric systems research –Ground research in real-world prototypes that are deployed across diverse user communities –Unify on-going and future research projects –Facilitate technology transfer and standardization –Work closely with industrial partners in an open laboratory environment SUR Project plus continuing commitment will make IBM a charter member

10 Strategy Leverage interdisciplinary systems expertise in network-based applications, scalable services, network-connected computing platforms Work collaboratively across applications, OS, networks, architecture Interact closely with industry, to obtain early access to leading edge technologies and facilitate tech transfer Cultivate ties with Bay Area network and systems research community

11 Internet-Scale Systems Extremely large, complex, distributed, heterogeneous, with continuous and rapid introduction of new technologies Feasible architectures –Decentralized, scalable algorithms –Dynamically deployed agents where they are needed –Incremental processing/communications growth –Cross-layer protocol design and optimization Prototyping, deployment, evaluation, experimentation

12 Benefits of Sponsorship Involvement with outstanding Berkeley graduate students Participation in a portfolio of large-scale, inter- disciplinary, pre-competitive research efforts with only modest investment, leveraging investment of other industrial partners Access to all ISRG-developed software, prototypes, simulation tools, and testbeds Early access to group’s research results through on-campus participation and retreats Support the expansion of cadre of researchers with expertise in Internet-scale systems

13 Intellectual Property Issues All ISRG results are placed in the public domain –Widely disseminated and distributed for educational and research purposes »Research reports, Web site –Sponsors can receive non-exclusive, no-fee licenses for commercialization »Only sponsors participate in twice yearly retreats To encourage an open research environment, ISRG researchers would prefer not to sign non- disclosure agreements
