HPCS Seminars

``Science is originated from discussions of ideas, and takes its root in exchanges of opinions".

By Werner Heisenberg (1901 - 1976).
He is best known as a founder of quantum mechanics, the new physics of the atomic world, and especially for the uncertainty principle in quantum theory. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932.

HPCS Lab has held its weekly seminars since it was established in 1993, where we present, discuss, and criticize recently published papers and unpublished reports, research ideas, and results including many of our on-going projects. The seminars sometimes combine with the department's colloquium talks. Here is a list of the topics of the past and coming seminars after the Lab moved to William and Mary.

The department seminars are held in Lecture Hall 20 in the MS Building at 3:00 pm on Fridays. In the Fall semesters (starting 1999), the semenars are combined with the classes of CS 780 Advanced Topics of Parallel/Distributed Systems, Advanced Topics of Distributed System Resource Management, and Advanced Topics on P2P and Grid Systems, Room 104 at 4:30 pm, on Monday and Wednesday.
