Georgia Tech is hosting the NSF & Discover Magazine “Grand Challenges in Science” Series on September 28th at the GTRI Conference Center from 7-8 p.m (full details below). The topic of discussion is The New Internet.
The
Internet has created unprecedented opportunities for advancing
knowledge across the spectrum of human endeavor. It has evolved from a
small-scale network to become a vital operator in all sectors of
society. The continued success of the Internet, however, is increasingly
threatened by mounting security attacks and weak performance
reliability.
We welcome your participation as we gather to discuss The New Internet and address the current trajectory of network infrastructure and its role in shaping the future needs of society.This Georgia Tech event is open to the public and guests including alumni, academics, trade associations, media, political leaders and others are welcome to attend.
