There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Assistant Professor Nick Feamster (Computer Science) has been awarded the 2010 SIGCOMM Rising Star Award recognizing his outstanding research contributions to the field of communication networks.
Every year, ACM SIGCOMM presents the Rising Star Award to recognize young researchers—individuals no older than 35—for their work in communication networks in the early part of their career. The nominees are evaluated on the depth, impact and novelty of their research. Also of particular interest are strong research contributions made independently from the nominee's Ph.D. advisor.
Feamster currently leads the Network Operations and Internet Security (NOISE) Lab at Georgia Tech. His research focuses on developing tools, techniques and protocols to improve the availability and performance of communications networks. The primary goal of his research is to help network operators run their networks better, and to enable users of these networks to experience high availability and good end-to-end performance.
