OS Reading Group @ FSL

The operating systems reading group is intended to be a forum to discuss operating systems research as published in leading conferences and journals. Papers from recent SOSP, OSDI, ASPLOS and USENIX conferences form the core papers. However, suggestions from other conferences and journals, including non-traditional OS conferences are welcome. One or two papers will be discussed every week, with a student volunteer leading the discussion. To ensure a healthy and productive discussion, people are expected to have read the paper(s) prior to the meeting.
