Semester:
Fall 2018
Instructor:
Prof. Aruna Balasubramanian
Course Time:
Thursday 2pm - 3pm
Location:
New Computer Science Bldg 109
Description:
The goal of this class is to read the latest papers in the fields of Mobile Systems and Networking. We will mostly read the latest mobile papers from MobiSys, MobiCom, NSDI, SigComm, OSDI, and SOSP and a few other conferences.
If you are not registered for the seminar, you are still welcome to still come to the class. But all students (irrespective of whether they are registered) should come to the class prepared to discuss and critique the paper. One student volunteer will lead the discussion and present the paper each class.
