CPS/Autonomous Systems Reading Seminar

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

CS591CAS is the weekly research reading seminar on Cyber-Physical & Autonomous Systems. We select contemporary papers of interest and students lead discussions of them each week.

To suggest a paper, open an issue on the Github page. We'll close the issue when we schedule the paper.
We have a slack channel for discussions on autonomous systems within the sysnet workspace.

Also, if you are interested in more general systems and networking and want to learn about cutting-edge research, do check out the systems seminar as well.

Schedule

For the Fall 2019 term, Reading Group meets on Wednesdays, 4:00pm - 4:50pm in Siebel Center 3405.
