Building on two previous offerings of the course, in May 2015, Prof. Nick Feamster will again offer his course on Software Defined Networking for the third time.

Nick Feamster, a professor who spent nine years at Georgia Tech and earned accolades for his research in cybersecurity and other problems with real-world communications networks, joined the faculty of the Princeton University Computer Science Department in January.

Pallavi Koppol was named the new president of the organization for Princeton Women in Computer Science (PWiCS). The goal of PWiCS is to provide a community for women interested in computer science at Princeton and, through outreach to local schools, to encourage girls in the Princeton area to consider careers in science, technology and engineering.

Every year the ACM and IEEE technical societies name a small number of their members Fellows in recognizition of their lifetime contributions to computer science or electrical engineering.  Congratulations to Princeton faculty Adam Finkelstein (Computer Science) and Sharad Malik (Electrical Engineering), two of 47 new ACM Fellows. 

Aarti Gupta, an international leader in research on the formal verification of hardware and software systems, has joined the Princeton University Computer Science Department after two decades in the private sector. She became a full professor on Jan. 1.

Every year, the International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) recognizes the paper appearing 10 years earlier that is judged to have had the most impact on the field over the intervening decade. This year at CGO 2015, the paper entitled "SWIFT: Software Implemented Fault Tolerance" by George A. Reis, Jonathan Chang, Neil Vachharajani, Ram Rangan, and David I. August won the award

Jonathan Mayer '09 is a Princeton grad, computer scientist, lawyer and web privacy advocate. He is also one of Forbes "30 Under 30" for 2014. Over the last couple of months, he has been investigating how companies track users through controversial new "Zombie cookies" that most users probably do not know exist and are hard to delete, even if you are aware of them.

There’s a lot of excitement about Bitcoin, but also a lot of confusion about what Bitcoin is and how it works. This course developed by Princeton faculty and students will help you cut through the hype, get to the core of what makes Bitcoin unique, and integrate ideas from Bitcoin in your own projects.

Cameron Porter '15 shows that COS majors really can do it all: from NP-completeness to image synthesis to OCaml hacking to ... world-class soccer! On the latter point, Cameron was selected by Montreal Impact of the Major League Soccer pro draft on Thursday January 20th after a stellar career with the Princeton Tigers.

Global computer networks are immensely beneficial to many users but they also can be immensely difficult for network administrators. Running a modern data network – with thousands of computers spread across a wide area – requires juggling myriad systems including power regulation, maintenance and traffic management, not to mention security.

This is based both on the technical assessment of the IW project, as well as the visual appeal of the poster.

Two Princeton faculty members have been named fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery, the world's largest scientific computing society.
