Course Description

This seminar series will focus on the latest developments in computer networks and distributed systems. For each week, one faculty member or student will discuss their on-going research or present papers from premier venues, including but not limited to HotNets, HotOS, NSDI, OSDI, Sigcomm, SOSP, Infocomm, and ICNP. Potential topics (based on the most recent HotNets and HotOS proceedings) include:

Measuring the Internet
Peer-to-peer storage and networks
Network and system security
Managing distributed systems
Wireless ad-hoc networks
Introspective computing
Wide-area routing and management
Energy-aware computing
Sensor networks
Pervasive computing
Network and system reliability

Students can receive one credit for participating in the seminar presentations. However, the seminar is open for all, including undergraduates. This is an excellent opportunity for students looking for potential thesis or project topics. This is also a useful forum to practice presentation skills and get valuable feedback.
