Operating Systems Reading Group

MPI-SWS

The Operating Systems Reading Group is a bi-weekly meeting of students at MPI-SWS where we discuss cutting-edge papers as well as seminal works in operating systems research. The aim is to familiarize ourselves with the evolution of operating systems research over the last few decades through lively discussions.

Time and Location

Every Tuesday 2:55pm
Room 005, Saarbrücken
Room 517, Kaiserslautern
