3. Mission Statement • Driving Force: • Study planet-wide distributed systems • to understand the forces that drive their day-to-day operation • as well as the dimensions that sustain their long-term evolution • It is probably the first time in the history of Comp. Science that we have build something so complex that it deserves to be studied on its own • Example Questions: • Why do they work at all? • How do they break? • What kind of traffic is that which flows through the “veins” of such systems? • What holds these systems together? • How do they respond to various types of attacks? • Under what circumstances would they collapse? • How can we make them more robust? • How can we trust them? • How can we be safe in them?
