The official inofficial organization pad for the reading group of the Resilient Networking Lecture (KIT) during winter 24/25.
Every paper-slot can be claimed by one student (every paper is read on Tue once, and on Thu once).
If you don't manage to get access to one of the manuscripts (using google scholar, for instance), you can email the authors or your professor, who has a
pdf of each of the papers (as a last resort)...
Thanks!
Tuesday/Thursday 2PM
Note, that we are finishing on Jan 30, so two weeks before the sessions end right now. My calendar allows to stretch the reading groups in 2025 - if you feel that there are too many papers in too short time we could push RG 4 back by one week and RG 5 by 2. Let me know what you prefer.
