Our mission is to advance distributed and networked systems to positively impact the lives of people. The Internet is particularly important to us because the Internet is the largest distributed, networked system that is currently deployed. We want to keep the Internet, its services, and applications open but secure, convinced that all pieces of the puzzle should be accessible to everyone. To achieve our mission, we strive for first-class research that influences science and practice. We introduce crazy new ideas, revisit prior work, and talk to those who deploy. We are committed to education that lasts and dedicated to research questions that matter.
