Old is new again!

I will be serving as a PC member for ACM MM 2011, in the area of "Media transport and sharing".
I will be serving as a PC member on the SIGCOMM 2011 Workshop on Measurements "Up the Stack" (W-MUST).
I gave a talk on Crowdsouring Network Event Detection (what I like to call "Using the Crowd to Monitor the Cloud") at SIGCOMM 2010 in New Delhi, India. Slides from the presentation are here.
I was awarded the 2009/2010 Outstanding Disseration Award from the Northwestern EECS department in June, 2010.
Fabian hooded me on June 18th, finally ensuring that my username (drchoffnes) is read correctly both as my title and as my first two initials + last name.
My thesis work (crowdsourcing network event detection) was accepted to SIGCOMM 2010. See this link for details.
Our work on detecting communities in BitTorrent has been accepted to IPTPS 2010.
A revised version of our tech report on pitfalls for testbed evaluations of Internet systems has been accepted for the April issue of SIGCOMM CCR. One of the key findings is that our current testbeds and public measurement vantage points are woefully inadequate for inferring properties of a large, Internet scale system such as BitTorrent. A more comprehensive study of this issue is under submission.
I passed my dissertation defense on February 15th! Slides from the talk are here.
I gave a talk about EdgeScope at the AIMS workshop on February 7th. I also briefly presented my dissertation work.
