COMP 620: Graduate Seminar in Computer Systems
Rice University
Fall 2008


Meeting Time and Place

Monday 2:00pm - 3:30pm
Location DH3076

Description

This semester, we will study papers from different areas in Computer Systems such as Operating Systems, Networking, Mobile Wireless, File and Storage Systems, Architecture, etc.

To get the most out of COMP620 and learn from the presentation experience, you should assume the paper you are presenting is your own paper. You should therefore prepare the presentation and defend the paper based on your own ideas. You should design your own presentation as you see fit. Ask your advisor to help review your presentation before the seminar. You will also receive feedbacks after the talk. You may use detailed figures (e.g. figures of results) that are hard to reproduce from the paper itself and from online slides, but be sure to acknowledge the source of the material. Always respect the copyright of material from other sources and do not plagiarize. You should not use an existing presentation found on-line. COMP620 is one of the few places where you can hone your presentation skills in a friendly environment. So, put your own personal touch on your presentation and get the most from it!
