The following presentations are of particular interest:

* Two presentations will focus on issues around peer-to-peer file 
sharing. Mary Roy from Cental Michigan University will discuss CMU's 
recent legal complaint against the RIAA's investigative partner, 
MediaSentry, asking that MediaSentry cease and desist investigation 
activities concerning Michigan residents until it obtains a Private 
Investigator license. Also on the P2P front, staff from the University 
of Michigan will discuss BAYU (Be Aware You're Uploading), an automated 
service that notifies users on selected University networks when their 
computers appear to be uploading files using file sharing networks.

* Presentations from Michigan State University and the University of 
Michigan will will provide updates on wireless LAN advances, including 
802.11n support and security enhancements.

* Larry Blunk from Merit will share information about the recently 
discovered cache poisoning vulnerability in the Domain Name Service, 
with information about responding to the vulnerability, general best 
practices in DNS management, and evolving technologies to further 
protect DNS.

Additional presentations will focus on Merit's backbone network and 
current research projects.
