Thursdays / 2 pm - 3 pm / 3102 Siebel Center
First Meeting: Aug 31, 2006 (2nd week of classes)
Previous Seminar Versions: [CS591IG-Spring 2006] [CS591IG-Fall 2005]
Course Organizer: Indranil Gupta
Course Attendees: Students of DPRG Research Group (and prospective members)
This course is devoted to a critical analysis of the latest papers and hot topics in distributed systems. Conferences of interest are include (but are not limited to) NSDI, Middleware, PODC, OSDI, Usenix, NSDI, Sensys, IPTPS, HotDep, HotOS, HotNets, SIGCOMM, Infocom. and prominent journals. Some course sessions will be devoted to students giving upcoming conference talks. The seminar content is mutually exclusive from that of CS 591 SN.
To take this seminar course, you should either (1) be formally or informally a part of the DPRG or (2) have permission from Indy (meet him: usually given if you are looking to work with him in the future).
Meets: Thursdays / 2 pm - 3 pm in 3102 Siebel Center.
Schedule: Up soon.
Immediate TODO's for Students Taking this Seminar:
Please email TWO paper suggestions to Indy by September 4, 2006 (Monday) with the subject line "CS 591IG Paper Suggestions".
To select your TWO papers, use latest publications from either conferences or journals (papers no earlier than 2005). For conferences, use the latest versions of conferences that are relevant to Distributed Systems research: this includes top conferences such as NSDI, ICDCS, DSN, PODC, DISC, SOSP, OSDI, HotOS, HotDep, HotNets, Infocom, SIGCOMM, Middleware, etc. (but is not limited to them). Any top Distributed Computing journal is also a good source (especially ACM and IEEE Journals such as IEEE TPDS, IEEE TAAS, ACM TON, ACM TOCS, as well as Distributed Computing, JSS, JPDC, etc.). If you still do not know which conferences to start looking at, a good place to start is the list of links to conferences on the current CS 591SN website - see [CS591SN-Fall 2006].
In addition, please DO NOT choose papers presented in previous versions of CS 591IG [CS591IG-Spring 2006] [CS591IG-Fall 2005] or current/previous versions of CS 591 SN [CS591SN-Fall 2006] [CS591SN-Spring 2006] [CS591SN-Fall 2005]. You may be able to select papers from the "Paper Suggestions" list that appears at the bottom of previous CS591IG pages (but that were not selected for presentation in any of the above seminars).
Select only papers that are (1) extremely well-written, (2) that tackle an important problem, (3) that propose a novel solution, as well as (4) that have a thorough analysis or evaluation. If you are unable to find such papers, choose papers that have at least THREE of the above characteristics (1)-(4).
After September 4, 2006, once the "Fall 2006 Paper Suggestions" (see bottom of this page) have been put up, and before September 7, 2006 (Thursday) , sign up for one paper presentation (paper choice and date) by emailing Indy with subject line "CS591IG Paper Choice".
First Meeting: Aug 31, 2006 (2nd week of classes).
Each Meeting: ONE Paper discussion + DPRG-specific stuff.
