Welcome to the Fall 2013 version of Comp527. This class is a graduate level research seminar. It’s structured with a list of research papers (linked on the left side of this page). Each of you will be responsible for presenting some number of these papers in front of the class. (Based on pre-enrollment, we’ll have roughly as many students as speaking slots, so you’ll be paired up for preparing and giving presentations.) After your talk, you’ll get a copy of the video of you talking, so you can go watch it and be your own worst critic. You will also be responsible for class participation, which includes posts on this very blog with topics of current security interest. The majority of your grade will come from a final project on a topic of your choice.

If you’re planning to attend Comp527, make sure you’re properly registered with the university. Then please fill out our registration form. We’ll soon have a Google Calendar to which you can subscribe. To fully participate in this class, you must have a Rice account, so you can post on this blog, and a Google account, so you can edit yourself into the schedule of talks. (Please fill out our registration form ASAP so we can get this set up.)

If the university is telling you this course is full, then we’ll get that problem fixed. Meanwhile, please show up and do everything.
