The Computer Systems Seminar has been running since Fall 2009 in each Spring and Fall semesters. In general, a paper will be selected and presented by either a faculty member, a student, or an invited guest in each week.
Although the group’s primary interest is in computer networks and systems, the group welcomes presentations and discussions in other areas of computer science. Please send a request to our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/vsu-computer-systems-seminar.
The seminar is in general held in HM 309S, the Faculty Lunge. If the room is not available, it is held in our backup room, HM 06S. If both of these rooms are not available, we will announce the location.
