SUMMARY:Edge Computing through Distributed Trust and Programmable Privacy 
 - Ioannis Psaras (UCL)

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The emerging Internet of Things needs edge-computing
  - this must be well-known by now. In turn\, edge computing needs infrastr
 ucture decentralisation. What is not necessarily established yet is that i
 nfrastructure decentralisation needs a distributed model of Internet gover
 nance and decentralised trust schemes. In this talk\, we'll discuss the ne
 cessary features of a decentralised edge-computing ecosystem and list the 
 components that need to be designed\, as well the challenges that need to 
 be addressed. In specific\, we’ll talk about i) Computation-Centric Arch
 itectures\, ii) Secure Payment Systems\, iii) Rewards and iv) Programmable
  Privacy.\n\nBio: Ioannis Psaras is an EPSRC Early Career Fellow and Lectu
 rer of Computer Networks at the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Depa
 rtment of UCL. His interests are in the areas of Internet routing and cong
 estion control\, Information-Centric Networks\, Edge- and Fog-Computing an
 d Mobile\, Opportunistic Networks. Lately\, he has been investigating the 
 applications of Distributed Ledger Technology and Blockchains to networkin
 g problems. He is generally interested in resource allocation and manageme
 nt of both existing and future Internet architectures. Ioannis has receive
 d four (4) Best Paper Awards for his contributions to high-quality confere
 nces and workshops\, all in the area of Information-Centric Networks and m
 obile communications. He has been actively involved in the ICN Research Gr
 oup (ICNRG) of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) from its very first
  days. Ioannis has been awarded and leads a number of EU- and UK-funded pr
 ojects\, with total budget of more than €2M. All of his recent projects 
 focus on Information-Centric Networking\, mobile ad hoc communications\, e
 dge- and fog-computing and blockchains. More information can be found at:
