The Reading Group at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China provides an opportunity for students, researchers and faculties to discuss and keep eyes on the current progress in security and system research, and to learn how to do high-quality research.

Consider to propose the regular research papers from the top conferences in the recent three years (the most recent are more preferred):

Security Big 4

• CCS:
• S&P:
• Security:
• NDSS:

Generic Systems

• OSDI/SOSP:
• ATC: 2019
• EuroSys:

Storage Systems

• FAST: 2020, 2019
• MSST: 2019

The primary goal of the discussion is to understand what the paper says. With that in mind, the discussion should focus on clarifying the following points:

• What is the problem to be solved?
• Is the problem important? What are the challenges to address the problem? What makes it difficult?
• What are the key ideas/insights/techniques used to address the problem/challenges?
• How do the authors justify their solutions? Does the evaluation cover all claims in this paper?

Consider to structure the presentation in slides, and guide the discussion through the key points above (roughly in order). After discussion, rename the discussion slides by [lastname][year][venue], and keep them in the directory slides. Note that the slides are kept in the only format of pdf.
