group meeting

We hold regular meetings (mostly bi-weekly) for discussion. In each meeting, a graduate student will present his/her progress on research. This is followed by 15-20 minute discussion. The presenter can also choose a recent paper and present it to the group. The paper must be from the top conferences/journals in our research areas, such as, ACM Multimedia, SIGCOMM, INFOCOM, ICNP, IEEE Transactions on Networking, ACM TOMCCAP, and IEEE Transactions on Multimedia.

The meetings are good opportunities for students to practice their presentation skills and to get constructive feedback from the group on their research. The meetings keep the group members informed about different research problems being addressed in the group. They are also very helpful in finding research topics specially for new students.

Everybody is welcome to attend. Meeting time: Every other Tuesday, 11:00 AM -12:00 PM, room SUR 4040.
