Distributed Systems Reading Group

Distributed Systems Reading Group

Owned by Ankita Kejriwal
Last updated: Aug 20, 2015

This reading group has been formed with the aim gain more breadth in distributed systems, and to identify papers we want to go back and read in depth. We'll mostly read papers in distributed systems and sometimes in related areas.

The leader will read the papers in depth, paying attention to key ideas they think are important. They will give a summary or describe main ideas in the paper to the group. The group can then ask more questions about various parts and/or have discussions about how various ideas can be used, or are relevant to our work or others.

Anyone is welcome to come attend the discussions, but if you'd like to come regularly, we expect that you're also presenting papers.

 

Location: Gates 415

Time: Fridays at 2.30 pm
