Mailing List

You can subscribe or send an e-mail to the entire mailing list.

Time slot

The network chat will be hold at Friday 2pm every week or every two weeks.

Registration

You do not have to register to attend the networks chat. However, if you would like to get some credit for it, here is some information for you. The course is typically offered for one credit hours as EECS 396 or EECS 601. Most students would sign up for the course in multiple semesters.

Prerequisites

EECS 325 and an interest in Computer Networks research are strongly recommended. Critical thinking is a definite plus. Paper readings are required prior to the meetings.

Guidelines

Read the paper. The meetings are not setup to be a tutorial of the paper. If folks didn't understand parts of the paper we can certainly discuss those parts in detail. But, try to read the paper so we don't have to cover everything in the meetings. This will not work well if only a couple people read the paper and everyone else doesn't.
Bring an opinion. It doesn't much matter what the opinion is, but it makes for a more interesting discussion if everyone has a hit on the paper.

Checklist

When preparing to give your seminar, follow these steps:

1. Check the calendar here for details.
2. Volunteers who would like to take presentations at available time slots should contact Zhihua Wen (zxw20@case.edu) to finalize their schedules.
3. Speaker can goto Glennan 320 to ask them to open the door of the conference room (Glennan 313) ten minutes ahead of the meeting.
