SCHEDULE: NOV 12-18, 2011

When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.

You can also create your personal schedule on the SC11 app (Boopsie) on your smartphone. Simply select a session you want to attend and "add" it to your plan. Continue in this manner until you have created your own personal schedule. All your events will appear under "My Event Planner" on your smartphone.

ABSTRACT:
Modern data-intensive applications move vast amounts of data between multiple locations around the world. To enable predictable and reliable data transfers, next generation networks allow such applications to reserve network resources for exclusive use. In this paper, we solve an important problem (called SMR3) to accommodate multiple and concurrent network reservation requests between a pair of end sites. Given the varying availability of bandwidth within the network, our goal is to accommodate as many reservation requests as possible while minimizing the total time needed to complete the data transfers. First, we prove that SMR3 is an NP-hard problem. Then, we solve it by developing a polynomial-time heuristic called RRA. The RRA algorithm hinges on an efficient mechanism to accommodate large number of requests in an iterative manner. Finally, we show via numerical results that RRA constructs schedules that accommodate significantly larger number of requests compared to other, seemingly efficient, heuristics.
