This weekly seminar is for the entire security lab: students, staff, and faculty. There are several purposes for the seminar:
Many of the talks will discuss research that's just preliminary or half-baked, but that's encouraged! It's often much more useful for all of us when we can toss around ideas together that haven't been thought out completely then when the ideas have already been codified in print.
We plan to provide lunch at least bi-weekly, and coffee weekly, assuming enough people show up. If students want a unit of credit for participating, please send Matt Bishop a note, or come see him.
Most weeks, we hope to have one or two students present their work for between 30 minutes and 1 hour each, but we may sometimes use the time for guest presentations, if we have visitors in town who would like to present to the entire security group. Also, please note that the seminar does not replace Hao Chen's reading group, since that has an equally important objective for learning about the research going on elsewhere.
Your faculty advisors will be strongly encouraging you all to sign up for this. Since the point is for everyone in the lab to know what everyone else in the lab is doing, and for speakers to receive as much useful feedback as possible, this will work best when the entire lab is present! Ideally, we'd love volunteers to speak each week. However, depending on how many people we have who volunteer to present their own work, you may also receive encouragement from your faculty advisors, throughout the quarter, to present your work to ensure that we keep moving forward.
