Fall 2003
Throughout the past decade computing has exhibited an increasing reliance on concurrency, parallel architectures, and distributed networks. This trend has been accompanied by significant progress toward identifying fundamental issues in these areas, reasoning about concurrent computations, and the development of novel algorithms. This kind of research is likely to become increasingly important as distributed computing becomes an intrinsic facet of the social and economic fabric of the nation. This seminar seeks to examine both fundamental and emerging concepts in concurrency and distribution through the study of seminal papers and recent research results. Broad topics of interest include models of concurrent computation, mobile computing, programming languages, algorithms, parallel architectures, programming environments, and visualization. Each semester the seminar emphasizes different themes which reflect the current research interests of the participants or newly emerging concerns in the field of distributed computing.
