Topic: "Living on the Edge for a Quarter Century: An Akamai Retrospective"
  • Ramesh K. Sitaraman – Distinguished University Professor, UMass Amherst Chief Consulting Scientist, Akamai Technologies
Organisers:
  • Jim Kurose – Professor of College of Information and Computer Sciences, the University of Massachusetts Amherst
  • Matt Caesar – Professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Illinois
Annotation:
As Akamai and the creation of the “edge” turn 25, we look back at the key role that the edge has played in the evolution of internet services. The story of the edge starts in the late 1990s when servers were deployed worldwide to provide content delivery services for web pages and videos. The quest to move dynamic content and application logic closer to users created the first edge computing services a few years later. The growth of the edge that now spans thousands of locations has dramatically increased the scope and importance of services that critically rely on it. This has created new challenges in operating the edge at scale and securing it from sophisticated attacks. Further, as the carbon footprint of the edge grows rapidly, reimagining a sustainable “zero-carbon” edge that is powered by renewable energy poses a key direction for future research.

Annotation:
The governance of the internet has gained a central role in global politics. International cooperation is increasingly mobilized to ensure that the expansion of connectivity infrastructure, digital services and their usages also safeguards security, human rights, and economic benefits.
The field has become truly transnational, including a vibrant stakeholder community that plays an active role in novel diplomatic practices in negotiating technical standards, norms, regulations, and policies in the intersection of national and global priorities.
The UN World Summit on the Information Society established in 2005 that internet governance processes should be institutionalized in an open and inclusive manner. Since then, multistakeholder participation along this line has characterized several initiatives by the UN and its agencies in the internet governance field, the latest to date being the IGF Leadership Panel inaugurated in 2022.
Considering the deep digital transformations that, at the crossroad of globalization and digitization, affect every aspect of current social, economic and political life, this event aims at discussing still unresolved issues and highly sensitive global internet governance challenges, and how these transformations unfold to impact national sovereignty, international relations and the global political economy.
