Over the years, significant progress has been made in enhancing the availability of cloud systems. However, the increasing prevalence of complex failures is now posing a major challenge to cloud availability. As cloud systems continue to grow in both scale and complexity, failures become more difficult to detect and can have…

Autonomous robots are being used in increasingly difficult real-world situations. These exciting new applications highlight the current limitations of autonomy. Advancing the state of the art will require significant research on core problems in robotics, including motion estimation and motion planning. This talk will present work…
