Subject: DSL seminar.

Meeting Time: Friday 2-3pm
Meeting Place: DSL conference room

We are having a systems seminar for the Fall semester. Free food and drink will
be provided. A list of papers is given below.  

One paper will be presented by the student each week. There will be a total of
nine presentations, starting from next week, until Dec 7. The class won't meet
during the Fall break or the Thanksgiving break. Each presentation will be
shepherded by a faculty member. Multiple papers will be discussed in some
meetings (notice 2a, 2b, etc.). Among those papers, one will be selected 
for presentation, but the students are encouraged to read all papers to prepare
for the discussion. The presentation should present the "facts", as the authors
would do, and the speaker should be prepared for critiques from the audience.

Please do the following if you want to participate:
1. Sign up for a presentation.
   Email me (hhl@cis.upenn.edu) the TOPIC and the DATE you prefer. The first
   paper must be presented next week, but the rest of them are flexible.
2. Volunteer to send a reminder every week.
3. Volunteer to be the food czar.
