This Friday's UCL EE talk is at 16:00 in GS/302 on 22nd June and it's 
the last of term.  Our speaker is Nishanth Sastry from KCL.

Title: "What can *we* do for the network?: Social network support for 
data delivery"

Abstract:
Are social networks useful in other computing contexts beyond the 
ubiquitous 'share' buttons  sprinkled all over the Web? This talk will 
introduce a simple cross-layer design methodology that applies information
derived from the social network layer to adapt lower-layer network 
infrastructure. Multiple case studies will be presented, as time 
permits, that apply social network information to different 
network-layer problems including routing in opportunistic networks, 
delivering the long-tail of user-generated content, saving energy in 
storage subsystems and preventing spam.
