Events Rensselaer at Hartford's Computer Science Seminar Series Presents: “A Primer on Network Naming and Addressing” EVENT: John Day, Chief Technology Officer, Netnostics, will present a seminar titled, “A Primer on Network Naming and Addressing.” The presentation is part of Rensselaer at Hartford's Computer Science Seminar Series. DATE: Friday, October 15, 2004 TIME: 6 p.m. LOCATION: Seminar Hall, Rensselaer at Hartford, 275 Windsor Street, Hartford ADMISSION: FREE! Open to the public. All are welcome to attend. TOPIC DISCUSSION: Today's Internet has some severe problems that can be traced to issues of naming and addressing. This presentation will review how we got to this juncture and will then use two important papers: “Internetwork Naming, Addressing, and Routing” by John F. Shoch and “On the Naming and Binding of Network Destinations” by Jerry Saltzer, to analyze the requirements of a network, addressing architecture and the implications of following their advice. We will then apply these results to some of the problems confronting us today and consider what these results imply for existing architectures. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: John Day has been involved in research and development of computer networks since 1970 when he worked on the design and implementation of transport and upper layer protocols for the ARPANet/Internet. Mr. Day has worked on protocols for everything from the data link layer to the application layer. He has made fundamental contributions to research on distributed databases, and also worked on the early development of supercomputers and in developing three operating systems. Mr. Day was in charge of the development of the OSI Reference Model's Naming and Addressing and Upper Layer Architecture and was a member of the Internet Research Task Force's Name Space Research Group. He has been a major contributor to the development of Network Management Architecture. Recently, he has been turning his attention to radically new network architectures. Mr. Day earned an M.S. and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois. MORE INFORMATION: For more information about the event, please contact Lynn A.
