We are honored to announce networking industry visionary
Nick McKeown as the keynote speaker for Netdev 0x14.
Virtual Session will be on July 28, 2020 3PM GMT.
Nick McKeown has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science at Stanford University since 1995. In 2005, he
started the Clean Slate Program at Stanford, which with Martin Casado
and Scott Shenker, led to "Software Defined Networking". He co-founded
Nicira (now part of VMware), Abrizio, and Nemo ("Network Memory", now
part of Cisco), as well as ONF, ON.Lab, and P4.org. He also co-founded
Barefoot Networks in 2013, which was recently acquired by Intel, where
he is now Senior Fellow. His current passion is to move the network
data-plane from fixed-function hardware up and into software where it
belongs. He hopes this will foster much faster innovation in
networking, and finally hand over the keys to those who own and
operate networks, to customize them to best suit their needs.
Nick is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE), the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal
Academy of Engineering (UK). He received the British Computer Society
Lovelace Medal (2005), the IEEE Kobayashi Computer and Communications
Award (2009), the ACM Sigcomm Lifetime Achievement Award (2012), and
an Honorary Doctorate from ETH (Zurich, 2014).
What does Nick want to talk to us about?
Nick has a vision on how we can work together to realize a world
where owners of large networks can express the behavior they
want in their network using a high-level language, and then seamlessly
compile and deploy it across all their various network devices.
How do we get there?
To find out please come listen to what he has to say and
engage in a conversation!
