Spring 18 Distributed Systems Seminar
I considered doing a blast from the past edition of the seminar focusing only on classical papers published before 2000. But, nah, I decided, I am doing a blockchain seminar instead. There has been many interesting papers on blockchains and this will be a good chance to catch up with those and look at the distributed systems, concurrency and coordination issues there.
Here is the list. I thank Adem Efe Gencer for suggesting several interesting papers for this list.
