Larry Peterson is the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus at Princeton University, where he served as Chair from 2003-2009. His research focuses on the design, implementation, and operation of Internet-scale distributed systems, including the widely used PlanetLab and MeasurementLab platforms. He is currently contributing to the Aether access-edge cloud project at the Linux Foundation. Peterson is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, the 2010 recipient of the IEEE Kobayashi Computer and Communication Award, and the 2013 recipient of the ACM SIGCOMM Award. He received his Ph.D. degree from Purdue University.
Scott Baker is a Cloud Software Architect at Intel, where he works on the Open Edge Platform. Prior to joining Intel, he was on the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) engineering team that built Aether, leading the runtime control effort. Baker has also worked on cloud-related research projects at Princeton and the University of Arizona, including PlanetLab, GENI, and VICCI. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Arizona in 2005.
Andy Bavier is a Cloud Software Engineer at Intel, where he works on the Open Edge Platform. Prior to joining Intel, he was on the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) engineering team that built Aether, leading the observability effort. Bavier has also been a Research Scientist at Princeton University, where he worked on the PlanetLab project. He received a BA in Philosophy from William & Mary in 1990, an MS in Computer Science from the University of Arizona in 1995, and a PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University in 2004.
Zack Williams is a Cloud Software Engineer at Intel, where he works on the Open Edge Platform. Prior to joining Intel, he was on the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) engineering team that built Aether, leading the infrastructure provisioning effort. Williams has also been a systems programmer at the University of Arizona. He received his BS in Computer Science from the University of Arizona in 2001.
Bruce Davie is a computer scientist noted for his contributions to the field of networking. He began his networking career at Bellcore where he worked on the Aurora Gigabit testbed and collaborated with Larry Peterson on high-speed host-network interfaces. He then went to Cisco where he led a team of architects responsible for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). He worked extensively at the IETF on standardizing MPLS and various quality of service technologies. He also spent five years as a visiting lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2012 he joined Software Defined Networking (SDN) startup Nicira and was then a principal engineer at VMware following the acquisition of Nicira. In 2017 he took on the role of VP and CTO for the Asia Pacific region at VMware. He is a Fellow of the ACM and chaired ACM SIGCOMM from 2009 to 2013. Davie is the author of multiple books and the holder of more than 40 U.S. patents.
