CS 59100-DSN: Distributed Systems and Networking Seminar: Fall 2012

The goal of the seminar is to allow students and faculty to get together on a weekly basis to discuss topics ranging from papers published in recent networking conferences such as SIGCOMM and INFOCOM, and systems conferences such as NSDI, SOSP, and OSDI, to their own research. Every week, one (or two) persons lead the discussion. In time, all those interested in networking and systems can be informed about cutting-edge research in these areas. The seminar is open to all; however, you are expected to present at some point (not everyone will present every semester).

NEW: This semester, we are going to try and do something slightly different. In addition to just presentations, we will form groups of two-three people that will need to identify and articulate a new problem that they think has some potential in becoming a conference problem. Based on reading these papers and also based on the discussions in the class, hopefully we should see some new ideas coming around and that will potentially form the basis for new research papers. The report is due at the end of the semester.

Venue: LWSN 1106
Timing: Friday 10:30 -- 11:20 PM
