DESCRIPTION: Just as you wouldn't want to be in a car without seat belts\,
  even if it's a self-driving car\, you probably don't want your Self-Drivi
 ng Network (SelfDN) to rely completely on control-theory or ML\, no matter
  how sophisticated or formally verified. While autonomous systems promise 
 to solve many problems that afflict networks\, just as they promise to sol
 ve many problems that afflict our roadways\, they are not immune from a mu
 ltitude of practical problems and unexpected consequences. At Google\, we 
 have been moving towards highly-automated networking\, and along the way w
 e have learned a lot about the risks involved\, and how to build robust ne
 tworks in spite of the wonders of automation. I will talk about some of th
 e problems that are likely to afflict SelfDNs as they enter the real world
 .\n \nBio: \n\nJeff Mogul works on fast\, cheap\, reliable\, and flexible 
 networking infrastructure for Google. Until 2013\, he was Fellow at HP Lab
 s\, doing research primarily on computer networks and operating systems is
 sues for enterprise and cloud computer systems\; previously\, he worked at
  the DEC/Compaq Western Research Lab. He received his PhD from Stanford in
  1986\, an MS from Stanford in 1980\, and an SB from MIT in 1979. He is an
  ACM Fellow. Jeff is the author or co-author of several Internet Standards
 \; he contributed extensively to the HTTP/1.1 specification. He was an ass
 ociate editor of Internetworking: Research and Experience\, and has been t
 he chair or co-chair of a variety of conferences and workshops\, including
  SIGCOMM\, OSDI\, NSDI\, USENIX\, HotOS\, and ANCS.
