Biography

Tilman Wolf is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Associate Dean of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received a Diplom in informatics from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1998. He also received a M.S. in computer science in 1998, a M.S. in computer engineering in 2000, and a D.Sc. in computer science in 2002, all from Washington University in St. Louis.

Dr. Wolf is engaged in research and teaching in the areas of computer networks, computer architecture, and embedded systems. His research interests include Internet architecture, network routers, and embedded system security. He is currently lead principle investigator on the ChoiceNet project, one of five large NSF Future Internet Architecture (FIA) projects. He is co-author of the book "Architecture of Network Systems" and has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. His research has been supported by grants from NSF, DARPA, and industry. He has taught numerous courses on computer networks, embedded systems, programming, and digital design.

Dr. Wolf is a senior member of the IEEE and the ACM. He is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He is associate editor for IEEE Micro and steering committee chair of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. He has been active as program committee member and organizing committee member of several professional conferences, including IEEE INFOCOM and ACM SIGCOMM. He has served as TPC chair and general chair for ICNP 2013, ANCS 2011 and 2012, and ICCCN 2009 and 2010. He served as treasurer for the ACM SIGCOMM society from 2005 to 2013.

Research

My research area is computer networks with a particular focus on how to introduce novel functionality into network systems and the overall network architecture. My students and I work on future network architecture, router systems, and embedded system and network security. We approach these problems from a theoretical as well as practical angle and place emphasis on the implementation of prototype systems for validation and to obtain quantitative performance data.

Future Network Architecture

I am lead principle investigator for the ChoiceNet project, one of five large Future Internet Architecture (FIA) projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation. ChoiceNet aims to make technological choices in the network explicitly visible. Users and their applications can select from these choices and financially reward the providers with the best offers. As a result, economic incentives can be used to drive innovation in the network.

Packet Processing Systems and Security

A big interest of mine is the design and operation of packet processing systems, i.e., the processors that implement protocol processing on routers. In the past, we have looked at design and runtime operation of these devices. More recently, we have turned our focus on security issues. We have shown that simple vulnerabilities in protocol processing code can be exploited to launch denial-of-service attacks by simply sending a malformed data packet through the router! As a defense, we are currently designing and prototyping a hardware monitoring system that can track processor operation and identify deviations caused by attacks.

Network Virtualization

Virtualization of networks allows the deployment of multiple different networks on a shared infrastructure. This approach may provide the necessary foundations for a future Internet where diverse protocol stacks coexist in a single network infrastructure. Our work addresses virtual network mapping, a key operational problem, where logical nodes and links need to be mapped to physical nodes and paths. We have developed new algorithms to solve this problem as well as a new benchmark to allow for fair comparison across algorithms. Equipment for this project has been donated by Intel.

Past Projects

In past work, I have looked at:

  • Network processors: design space exploration, performance models, workload partitioning, and runtime management.
  • In-network services: router system design to support advanced processing service in the network, routing with service requirements and policy constraints.
  • Network measurement: high-performance passive measurements systems based on network processors, real-time trace anonymization.

See my publications for more details on these projects. Links to software: CommBench, PacketBench, AnomBench.
