[Skip to: Schedule Suggested Papers]
The goal of this seminar is to allow different faculty members and their groups to get together on a weekly basis to discuss variety of topics ranging from papers published in recent networking conferences such as SIGCOMM, Infocom and systems conferences such as NSDI, SOSP, OSDI etc to even their own research. Every week, one-two persons lead the discussion on a paper. The hope is that in time all those interested in systems and networking can be abreast with cutting-edge (or perhaps the word is bleeding edge) papers in these areas. This seminar is open to all; however, if you are a regular attendee, you are expected to present at some point of time. Note that in some cases, your advisor may volunteer you if you haven’t volunteered yourself.
