Title: The Internet: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract:
While the Internet is a hugely successful, human made artifact that has
changed the society fundamentally, it has become a complex system with
many challenges. In this talk, I will outline some of them and also
point out a number of surprises in terms of our mental models of the
Internet that we develop over the years. Next, I will focus on the
evolution of the Internet and discuss methods for detecting Internet
infrastructure outages and combat major DDoS attacks. I will end with an
outlook on how we may evolve the Internet to tackle the future
challenges of ubiquitous data availability from sensors and devices
everywhere.

and, four years later, a Ph.D. The next four years Anja did research
work at AT&T Labs Research, before holding professor positions at
Saarland University and the Technical University Munich. Since 2006, she
