CS 854 Advanced Topics in Computer Systems: Systems Supporting IoT Devices

*** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ***

Possible Readings

If you have suggestions for papers you would like to read, please let me know. I have been collecting a bunch of papers we might want to read. Feel free to browse these papers and suggest some of them for the class to read and discuss. Note that the classifications are very rough and not well thought out.

Some Possible Readings

There may be two different types of summaries for different types of papers. Research papers will require research paper summaries. Other papers (e.g., survey papers) will require a survey paper summary. The format of these can be found by following the links below.
