CSE 590u Ubiquitous Computing Seminar (Spring '17)

This quarter we will read and discuss papers from Ubicomp labs around the world.

Each week will feature a different lab and two people will be asigned as discuession leads (responsible for selecting the paper and reminding everyone to read it). We will be using NB to faciliate discussion for the quarter. As you read the paper, place your comments directly on the text. We encourage you to respond to others comments as well. For access to our NB site, email Eric.

Organization

  • A Ubicomp (or closely related) lab will will be selected each week. Discussion leads will choose a recent paper from the lab to highlight their work.
  • A pair of students will present an introduction about the lab and paper. This should include information about the PI, current PhD students, and notable alumni. In class they will lead a discussion about the paper. We will assign leaders at the first meeting.
  • Other students are expected to discuss the paper on NB as the read it by Sunday at noon so that the discussion leaders can curate all the responses before the meeting on Friday.
  • You are encouraged to read others' comments and critiques before the seminar.

Lunch will be served at noon. We will start discussing at 12:10pm. We hope people come at noon and socialize a bit before the discussion.
