CS 7934 — Computer Systems Seminar, Fall 2009
Fridays, 1:00–2:00 PM, 3485 MEB
Primary Organizer:
Eric Eide
Overview
In CS 7934 we will read and discuss technical papers from recent or
imminent top-tier systems conferences: e.g., SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, SIGCOMM, and
so on. The specific papers discussed will be chosen based on the interests
of the class attendees. On occasion, people may present their own research
or perhaps a trip report from a major conference. We aim to be informal but
substantive.
You can check out what we did last semester here.
CS 7934 is often called “the CSL seminar.”
The name CSL is historic.

Credit
Although the course is listed as “variable credit,” the course is
only available for one (1) credit in most circumstances. If you want to take
the course for more than one credit, you will need to get approval from the
instructor. Those taking the course for credit must read all of the papers,
submit a short summary of each paper prior to class (PDF, Postscript, LaTeX), participate in each discussion, and
facilitate the discussion of at least one paper. We urge students to sign up
for one credit if you're going to be attending anyway.
