Many areas are moving from hardware only to a mix of hardware and software and in some cases, mostly software.  This one day workshop will address changes in design and implementation. We will discuss software defined radios (SDR), cognitive radios, software defined networks (SDN) and antennas.  The workshop will be a combination of lecture, informal presentations, demonstrations, and some hands on activities. Attendees with technical backgrounds should learn something new as well as seeing changes to old established areas. 

As the day's schedule, speakers, and demonstrations evolve, we will post updates. Expected update schedule is as follows:

Friday November  24-- completed

Friday December 1 -- completed

Friday December 8 -- completed

Wednesday December 13

  Speakers

Dr. Yang Guo, Internet and Scalable Systems Metrology Group, NIST

Topic:

Software Defined and Virtual Networks

Biography:

Dr. Guo is a member of the Advanced Network Technologies Division (ANTD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He was a researcher with Network Protocols and Systems Research Department at Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent from 2010 to 2015. Prior to that, h was a Principal Scientist at Technicolor (formerly Thomson) Corporate Research at Princeton, NJ.

 

Dr. Guo earned the Ph.D. from University of Massachusetts at Amherst in year 2000, and M.S. and B.S. (with honor, top 1% in the class) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

 

Dr. Guo's research interests span broadly over the distributed systems and networks, with a focus on Cloud computing, Software Defined Networks (SDN) and its security, and Internet content distribution systems. In addition to the research, I am the author of many granted/pending patents. Some of his publications and patents (patents pending are not included) and be viewed at
