Security Reading Group - Fall 2009

 

Description


This reading seminar will meet weekly on Thursdays from 11 to 12PM during the Fall 09 semester to discuss selected research papers on Computer Security.

Each week a participant will prepare to lead a discussion based on that week's selected paper.

Both faculty and students interested in the field are encouraged to participate.


I encourage you to nominate a paper to be discussed. You can also go ahead and volunteer to be a discussion leader for a paper for a particular week. To do either one of these things, just email me: amolina @ cs
