Overview

In this graduate level seminar, we review interesting papers that are recently published in major networking conferences. In each session, one student presents one (or two papers) and leads the discussion. The student who presents a paper should submit a good summary of the paper to our paper review archive, called paperQ. The computer networking class (CIS632) is the pre-requisite for this seminar. Grading will be P/NP.
