CSE730x Research Seminar

• Instructors: Chenyang Lu
• Time: Tuesday at 1pm-2:30pm, Location: Bryan 509C
• Google group: google group

This seminar examines fundamental and emerging concepts in concurrency and distribution by studying seminal papers and recent research results. Broad topics of interest include models of concurrency, mobile computing, parallel architectures, sensor networks, distributed algorithms, and specialized protocols. Each semester, the seminar emphasizes different themes reflecting the current research interests of the participants.

The theme of this semester's seminar is Wireless Sensor Networks. We will read and discuss papers from recent major conferences on mobile, wireless, and sensor networks and systems. These conferences include:

• SenSys ([1])
• IPSN ([2])
• Sigcomm ([3])
• MobiCom ([4])
• MobiSys ([5])
• NSDI ([6])
• SOSP ([7])
• OSDI ([8])
• RTSS ([9])
• RTAS ([10])
• Wireless Health ([11])
• BodyNets ([12])
• BSN ([13])
