The course format is a reading group and a seminar. Each week, we will discuss one research paper. All course participants are expected to read the papers before they are presented in class, and to participate in the class discussion. Each student enrolled in the course will give one presentation.
Please look at the list of suggested papers in the introduction lecture, and select a paper you would like to present by Nov 7 2011. Paper selections need to be approved by me, and will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. Please see more details on Requirements and Grading.
Prerequisite: an introductory course in the area of distributed computing. Please see me if you didn't take one and want to take this course. This is a graduate level course, but undergraduate students can take the course with special permission from me.
