Systems Transforming Systems

Fall 2025

The subject of the seminar is the development of new techniques, tools, and systems for automatically augmenting existing software systems with new capabilities — including, but not limited to, parallelism, distribution, isolation, and security. Τhe seminar will have a dual focus: 60% on advanced scientific topics in systems and 40% on academic communication, especially technical writing. These two foci will be structured as overlapping layers — systems in the foreground, technical communication in the background. A key goal will be for students, working in teams of 4–5 members, to develop papers worthy of scientific publication; as such, the course is structured around projects designed carefully, and with appropriate support, to result in paper publications in the systems community.
