3	Lun Li	Internet topology revisited	8pm Dec 8th	125 Steele
4	Xiaoliang (David) Wei	Congesiton control algorithm and its variance for High Speed Long Distance Network Abstract: The talk will briefly review the history of network congestion, the efforts for congestion avoidance, and the basic ideas in congestion control. Design issues will be summarized. Different models, with different defects, will be introduced for analysis. Some data from recent measurements will show the current challenges and mysteries in this area.	8pm Dec 17th	125 Steele

#	Speaker	Title of the talk	Time	Location
1	Xiaoliang (David) Wei	Congestion Control: Algorithms and Models Abstract: After a very brief review on introduction and intuitions, I will focus on two main topics: How to design a congestion control algorithm and how to model the TCP congestion control. The first topic will break an algorithm into small components and discuss the design issues for these components. The second topic will cover different models, their sucessful stories and their sad stories. The talk will be concluded by a series of open problems.	7pm Jan 19th	125 Steele
2	Lijun Chen	Quantum Mechanics and Measurement Abstract: I will talk about quantum computation and information. This sunday I will spent half time giving a brief introduction to quantum mechanics and measurement, half time in quantum information. If you guys are interested, I will give a second talk some time later to cover quantum computing.	8pm Feb 1st	125 Steele
3	Jiantao Wang		~ Feb 7th	125 Steele
4	Lun Li		Feb 16th	125 Steele
