Video course on self-adjusting networks! Learn about dynamically reconfiguring datacenters, and how to topologically exploit structure in communication traffic at self-adjusting.net/course/ Introduction at youtu.be/QzxYqBpi6DI @ACMSigmetrics @ACMSIGCOMM @ERC_Research @chenavin

Have a CAKE: Jonas‘ and Toke’s multi-queue aware network scheduler cake_mq has been upstream and will appear in the upcoming version 7.0 of the Linux kernel. Congratulations!! See phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.0… and schmiste.github.io/lanman25.pdf (IEEE LANMAN 2025).

2025 SIGMETRICS Doctoral Dissertation Runners-up: Congratulations to Dr. Vamsi Addanki, obtained Ph.D from Universität Berlin and advised by Dr. Stefan Schmid, for his outstanding dissertation "Adaptive Protocols and Reconfigurable Optical Interconnects for Datacenter Networks".

Tiburtius Prize 2025 for the dissertation of Vamsi Addanki: huge congratulations! Since Vamsi is already an Assistant Professor at Purdue University, I had the honor of picking up the award and 💐 on his behalf.  @Vamsi_DT @TUBerlin

🧵New EATCS Bulletin out: eatcs.org/images/bulleti… Highlights: 40yrs of DISC, new video initiative, faster algs w/ less memory, the TCS Blog Aggregator, “flooding w/o memory”, new ML & LICS column editors, plus conference reports & a TCS history exhibition in Prague. Enjoy!

Ask Donald Knuth! We will interview the legendary computer scientist in the next EATCS Bulletin -- let us know if you have any questions you'd like us to ask (here or by email). With @chenavin @eatcs_secretary

Dear all, Registration for DISC 2025 is now open: disc-conference.org/wp/disc2025/re… Please note that the deadline for early registration is very soon (September 27th, 2025)!

@theobtl @TUBerlin @yapignolet @dfinity Unfortunately not but happy to meet in Zurich anytime!

@schmiste_ch @TUBerlin @yapignolet @dfinity Congratulations! Are either of you at daoscience.org/berkeley2025 or SBC? Would be glad to discuss in person.

Democracy for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs)? Congratulations to our student Burak Arda Okutan @TUBerlin for winning the Best Student Paper award at IEEE ICBC 2025. Link: arxiv.org/abs/2507.20234 @yapignolet Case Study: @dfinity #ICP

As #AI use surges, so does data traffic 📈 @TUBerlin researchers led by @schmiste_ch are building #networks that adapt in real time, boosting performance & #efficiency in data centres. Learn more 👉 europa.eu/!49b7g4 #Mathematics @ct_inet @JWI_Berlin

The new Bulletin of the EATCS is available: eatcs.org/images/bulleti… Interview with @Tim_Roughgarden by @StefanResearch, Neil Giridharan on Byzantine fault-tolerant protocols, educational column on using GPT-4o in a proof-based course, etc. Enjoy! @podc_disc @eatcs_secretary

@Vamsi_DT @PurdueCS Big congratulations to upcoming professor Vamsi! It was awesome working with you. Thanks for all your contributions at INET. Students: this is a unique opportunity to work with Vamsi. Don’t miss it — take the chance and apply!

Excited to be joining @PurdueCS as a tenure-track assistant professor this fall! Grateful to my advisor @schmiste_ch, my collaborators, reviewers, friends, and incredible letter writers 🙂 I will be looking for motivated students passionate about networking, drop me an email!
