Advanced Systems Group (ants)

The objective of the ants meeting is to have an informal forum so that we can discuss communication, operating systems, and networking research issues. This is a complement of Yale Communications & Networking Seminar Series, which invites outside speakers.

Time: Tuesdays from 4 to 5pm
Location: AKW 500
Format: A member will be the leader of each meeting. The member will spend the first 30 minutes discussing related work, initial results, and open problems. It is recommended that the leader sends out a reminder ahead of time so that others can think about related issues before the discussion meeting.
