Patterson, University of California, Berkeley Role Classification of Hosts Within Enterprise Networks Godfrey Tan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Massimiliano Poletto, Mazu Networks; John Guttag and Frans Kaashoek, Massachusetts Institute of Technology A Cooperative Internet Backup Scheme Mark Lillibridge, Hewlett-Packard Labs; Sameh Elnikety, Rice University; Andrew Birrell, Mike Burrows, and Michael Isard, Microsoft Research	INVITED TALKS Engineering Reusable Software Libraries Kiem-Phong Vo, AT&T Labs—Research Libraries are integral to software development. Successful libraries arguably achieve the right balance among these software engineering dimensions:   1. requirement, i.e., fulfilling the correct anticipated needs;   2. architecture, i.e., being easily composable with others and evolvable as new requirements surface; and   3. scalability, i.e., using efficient algorithms and providing further means to customize and compose them for performance. This talk relates software engineering lessons learned by the speaker while writing a number of widely used libraries.

GENERAL TRACK Power Currentcy: A Unifying Abstraction for Expressing Energy Heng Zeng, Carla S. Ellis, Alvin R. Lebeck, and Amin Vahdat, Duke University Design and Implementation of Power-Aware Virtual Memory Hai Huang, Padmanabhan Pillai, and Kang G. Shin, University of Michigan	INVITED TALKS The Convergence of Ubiquity: The Future of Wireless Network Security William A. Arbaugh, University of Maryland, College Park Computing devices are shrinking while becoming more powerful. At the same time, several forms of wireless networking are experiencing exponential growth. What happens when these two trends converge, and what does it mean for security? This talk will provide a short (and pitiful) history of wireless network security, followed by the speaker's view of the future of wireless network security and what security challenges must be solved before true ubiquitous computing can emerge.
