Apologies if you receive duplicates.

We want to kindly invite you to attend NAI'21 tomorrow (Monday, Aug. 23) at SIGCOMM'21, because we feel that the program is highly relevant and your participation and engagement can be very valuable.

Some highlights:
- Keynote (10:10-10:50 AM EDT):
  Title: “Dynamic Network Adaptation (DNA)”
  Keynote Speaker: Jonathan Smith (Olga and Alberico Pompa Professor, UPenn/DARPA Program Manager)

- Keynote (12:30-13:15)
  Title: Application-Defined Networking
  Keynote Speaker: Amin Vahdat (Engineering Fellow and Vice President of Systems Infrastructure)

- Panel (15:50-16:55)
  Richard Alimi (Google)
  Yixue Lei (Tencent)
  Håkon Lonsethagen (Telenor)
  Qin Wu (Huawei)

Panel questions:
Q1. Can you describe one key NAI, broadly defined (i.e., network-aware applications, application-aware networking, or both), project that you are involved in or consider to be important (which can be by others)?
Q2. In your opinion, what are the most important one or two trends and opportunities, in either industry development or academic research, in application-aware networking (AAN)? For each trend or opportunity, what are the key challenges to be addressed for it to be successful?
Q3. In your opinion, what are the most important trends and opportunities, in either industry development or academic research, in network-aware applications (NAA)? For each trend or opportunity, what are the key challenges to be addressed for it to be successful?
Q4. Do you see the integration of AAN and NAA, or they should/will develop independently?
Participation details:
- Time: Monday, August 23, 2021, 15:50 pm-17:00 EDT

==== Bios of keynote speakers, panelists ====
Bio of Jonathan Smith: Jonathan Smith joined DARPA as a Program Manager in September 2017 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he is a professor of computer and information science and the Olga and Alberico Pompa Professor of Engineering and Applied Science. He will return to U. Penn in September 2021.

His long-term objective is the creation of useful distributed computing systems. In research, he developed new protocol design paradigms in the ``Protocol Boosters'' project, and led the SwitchWare active networking effort, centered on the design of secure, high-performance programmable network infrastructures, based on a ``Store-Translate-and-Forward'' packet-switching model. As a DARPA program manager, he seeks to develop and execute programs in cybersecurity, networking, and distributed computing. He has led the development and execution of multiple programs including Situation Aware Protocols In Edge Network Technologies (SAPIENT), Adaptive Cognition Enhanced Radio Teams (ACERT), Brood of Spectrum Supremacy (BOSS), Dispersed Computing, Edge-Directed Cyber Technologies for Reliable Mission Communication (EdgeCT), Fast Network Interface Cards (FastNICs), Open, Programmable, Secure 5G (OPS-5G), and Extreme DDoS Defense (XD3). His work at DARPA was awarded the Office of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Public Service in August 2006.

He joined the University of Pennsylvania in 1989 from Bell Communications Research, where he was a member of the technical staff, a position he also held at Bell Telephone Laboratories.

Amin Vahdat Bio: Amin Vahdat is an Engineering Fellow and Vice President for Systems Infrastructure at Google, where his team is responsible for Compute (Google Compute Engine, Borg/Cluster Scheduling, Operating Systems and Kernel), Platforms (TPUs, Accelerators, Servers, Storage, and Networking), and Network Infrastructure (Datacenter, Campus, RPC, and End Host network software). Until 2019, he was the Area Technical Lead for networking at Google, responsible for Google's Technical Infrastructure roadmap in collaboration with peers in Compute, Storage, and Hardware. Vahdat is active in Computer Science research, with more than 41,000 citations to over 200 refereed publications across cloud infrastructure, software defined networking, data consistency, operating systems, storage systems, data center architecture, and optical networking.

In the past, he was the SAIC Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego and the Director of UCSD’s Center for Networked Systems. Vahdat received his PhD from UC Berkeley in Computer Science, is an ACM Fellow and a past recipient of the NSF CAREER award, UC Berkeley Distinguished EECS Alumni Award, the Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and the Duke University David and Janet Vaughn Teaching Award. Most recently, Amin was awarded the SIGCOMM lifetime achievement award for his groundbreaking contributions to data center and wide area networks.

Richard Alimi (Google) Bio: Rich joined Google after completing his Ph. D at Yale University in Computer Science in 2010. He spent 8 years in Bandwidth SRE, working on productionizing and expanding our admission control and traffic engineering systems. Along the way, Rich helped form an SRE team to help grow Google’s software defined networking capabilities, then expanded into network reliability strategy. Rich is an Uber Tech Lead within Core Networking SRE, the SRE organization responsible for Google’s production network.

Yixue Lei (Tencent) bio: Yixue has been working in wireless technologies area after completing his Ph. D at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in 2007.  After joined Tencent, his research focuses on application and network interaction & integration over heterogeneous wired & wireless networks.  Yixue has been contributing to 4G/5G standardization in 3GPP continuously for 14 years and as the rapporteur of 3GPP Rel-17 work item 5G_AIS, he leads and complete this work item in June 2021 which targets 5G system enhancements for advanced interactive services(AIS) including cloud gaming, XR and tele-operated driving etc.  Yixue is responsible for standard research team within Tencent Future Network Lab which is working on 5G-related product development, service rollout and also global standards in IETF, 3GPP, ITU etc.
