Operating Systems and Networking Reading Lunch

The purpose of the Operating Systems and Networking Reading Lunch is to meet to discuss recent cool papers in operating systems and networking. The structure of the reading group is simple. We will meet once per week for an hour over lunch and discuss one paper. One person will prepare a 20 minute presentation on one of the papers. This informal presentation should provide an overview of the contents of the paper. After the presentation, we will debate the merits of the paper. Bring your own food and drink.
