Overview
In this class, we explore a variety of topics that are of current interest in
distributed systems. Reading materials include research papers, patents,
industry white papers, and possibly government regulations.
Students are expected to read all papers, and sign up
for presentation of one paper.
The course is a 1-unit readings course.
Those interested in working on a project along with the readings should enroll
