CSE590S: System Seminar

Time: Wednesdays at 1:30pm
Location: CSE 403

This quarter, we will be running a Shadow PC for SOSP 2009. Each week, we will discuss two papers. Students have to read one of the two papers (your choice of which one), and enter the reviews in the Shadow PC website. We will then discuss both the papers in class.

Bear in mind that the reviews you write will be sent to the authors (anonymously, of course). However, everyone on the PC will be able to see your reviews (unblind), barring conflicts.
