Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative
Toward predictable control of software-defined networks
No full textTraditional computer networks require manual configuration of potentially hundreds of forwarding devices. To ease this configuration burden, software-defined networking (SDN) provides centralized, programmatic control of switch data planes in the form of applications, or control modules. This modular design simplifies development, and allows network operators to leverage a potentially vast library of open source SDN applications.
However, configuring an SDN is still prone to misconfigurations, software bugs, and unexpected behavior. An operator must reason about the configuration on at least three planes in the network: the management plane, the control plane, and the data plane. At the control plane, an operator must ensure the applications driving the network are correct, or free of software bugs. At the management plane, an operator must determine how to compose together multiple applications to create a coherent forwarding behavior. This requires reasoning about inter-application interactions and how to resolve conflicts between them. Finally, she must understand the execution of the applications on top of the controller, and how any bugs in the controller's implementation may introduce unexpected behavior.
This thesis explores techniques in verification and synthesis to ease the burden of configuring of an SDN and provide techniques to automatically search for unpredictable behavior. We present three primitives to search program behavior at the management plane, control plane, and data plane, without the need to understand the implementation details of the controller or applications. Specifically, we design primitives for orchestration, fast-forwarding, and autocorrect.
First, to tackle the problem of SDN application correctness, we introduce a fast-forwarding primitive to verify and explore future behaviors of a control plane application. Unlike traditional approaches to software verification, this primitive faithfully models time --- an important source of complexity in control programs. We implement this idea in a model checker called DeLorean, and develop techniques to speed up the exploration of control programs. As a result, DeLorean can explore the future behavior of programs faster than they occur.
Next, to reduce the complexity of composing together multiple, independent applications, we provide an orchestration primitive. This technique automatically discovers dependencies between applications and can suggest conflict-free composition plans to operators. With this primitive, we adopt a relational representation of the network and use a standard PostgreSQL database to develop a controller called Ravel. In addition to logic-based reasoning of inter-application dependencies, Ravel enables ad-hoc creation of new programming abstractions. Furthermore, Ravel can act as a runtime on which different abstractions or controllers can execute using translations to Ravel’s schema.
Finally, to reduce the operator's burden of understanding the low-level implementation details of an application or controller, we introduce an autocorrection primitive with NEAt (Network Error Autocorrection). NEAt builds on synthesis techniques to prevent applications or a controller from installing policy-violating updates, ensuring the behavior of the network is correct and predictable at the data plane. NEAt allows backward-compatibility with existing SDN deployments and acts as a transparent layer between the network and controller, enforcing correctness by repairing updates that violate the network policy.
We test our primitives on real-world datasets and applications. With DeLorean and Neat, we find bugs in real configurations running on deployed systems.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-12-01The student, Jason Croft, accepted the attached license on 2017-12-05 at 10:55.The student, Jason Croft, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-12-05 at 11:08.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-12-05 at 17:15.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11858 on 2018-03-13 at 09:56:53Made available in DSpace on 2018-03-13T15:25:26Z (GMT).

Oral history interview with Jason Poudrier
No full textJason Poudrier, author, discusses growing up in a military family and living in Alaska, North Dakota, Oregon, and finally Oklahoma. He describes what it was like enlisting in the Army after high school in 2001 and how his military service affected him. A recipient of the Purple Heart, he shares his experiences getting injured by shrapnel in Iraq. He later talks about how he uses poetry and writing to cope with his memories of war, and how he hopes to help others do the same.The Deep Roots: Oklahoma Authors Collection is a series of interviews with authors who discuss their lives, work, and creative processes

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298

Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for.
