Suggested Topics

The Networks Chat folks have expressed interest for the following topics (in no particular order):

Checklist

When preparing to give your seminar, follow these steps:
  1. Coordinate your choice of a paper with one of the faculty members.
  2. Coordinate a time with the same faculty member and Vincenzo. Send him also a title, abstract, and URL of your talk at least one week before your talk.
  3. Reserve a projector if needed: write to help@eecs.
  4. Prepare your slides if you plan on using them.
  5. Give your talk and lead the discussion!

Suggested Papers and Venues

Suggestions

Here are a few suggestions on how to make the networks chat more productive:
  1. Read the papers ahead of time so that you are ready for the discussion of the paper.
  2. Projects are not required, but they are encouraged. After all, the purpose of the networks chat is to improve our research efforts.
