COANS
Compilers, Operating systems, Architecture,  and Networks Light Seminar
Spring 2004

Index number 70805 (Section 06)

Overview:

This light seminar will present state of the art research, seminal papers, and local research projects in the areas of compilers, operating systems Architecture and networks.

 

Many results, designs and methodologies are applicable across these four experimentally-oriented fields. We thus expect an interesting and diverse discussion between the participating groups with regard to a broad range of research problems and solutions.

 

Prerequisites:

Students should either have a graduate level course in one of compilers, operating systems or networks, or be currently enrolled in a graduate course in these areas. Students should be prepared to ask many questions during the seminar.

 

Expected Work:

One research paper will be presented each week. Students are expected to regularly attend the seminar and actively participate in the discussions for credit.

Schedule:

Time: Thursdays, 11:00AM-noon
Room: Hill 254
