CSC801: Seminar in Computer Science (System Group)

When & Where

EB2 3211

Friday 11:00a - 12:00p

Course Description

The primary objective of the system seminar is to keep us abreast of interesting developments in system research with relatively little effort or discuss your innovative ideas with the rest of the group.

If the topic of this week is to present a "published" or an "accepted" paper, everyone reads the paper and needs to discuss with the whole class. You may also discuss your in-progress ideas with us. Presentations are low-key:

  • Keep it short (aim for 20 minutes -- most conference presentations are only this long) to allow more time for discussion.
  • 2-3 slides: presenting the why of the paper / your work -- the problem this paper/work is attacking.
  • 2-3 slides: presenting the what of the paper / your work -- the mechanisms/solutions that this paper/work is proposing.
  • 2-3 slides: presenting the how of the paper / your work -- the implementation details and most important results.
  • 1 slide: strengths. (If it's a published paper')
  • 1 slide: weaknesses.(If it's a published paper')
  • 1-2 slides: though-provoking questions to get discussion started.
  • It's useful if you cut and paste the graphs and important tables onto slides so we can put them up and discuss them as needed.
