Spring Eighteen Seminar, Nail From The By Edition

It is a bad sign if the references department of a newspaper fails to cry whatsoever recent papers. That means, either the authors are non aware of whatsoever recent piece of job on the area, or the expanse is non of involvement to other researchers.

But it is likewise a bad sign if the references department of a newspaper fails to cry whatsoever former papers. That means, the authors probable produce non know plenty close the fundamental/foundational piece of job inward the area.

There is a instance to live made for working from the fundamentals, the get-go principles. Elon Musk made that instance inward his work, as well as showed that you lot tin terminate brand transformative work, fifty-fifty inward the commercial applied scientific discipline world, yesteryear working from the get-go principals.

Working from the get-go principles is likewise essential for research. It is non uncommon to larn your best ideas when preparing for a class. Sometimes reviewing key piece of job inward a topic, you lot notice a gap, around weird under-explained assumption, as well as larn "huh, why is it that way". Or sometimes the students (or outsiders of the field) inquire a basic query from the left field, as well as that may start an investigation. And sometimes, you lot run across the former idea/algorithm equally a promising/useful lucifer inward novel emerging applications. Recently the flexible quorums extension to Paxos is a practiced instance of working from get-go principles. Nobody expected that final result subsequently xxx years of Paxos.

Back to the seminar

Every Spring, I learn a distributed systems seminar where nosotros comprehend recent interesting papers inward the field. But this Spring, I retrieve I volition experiment amongst a exceptional "blast from the past" edition.

Reading these golden oldies could live a jeopardy to revisit the fundamentals of the field. When reading these papers, nosotros tin terminate banking concern complaint close how they aged (which parts aged well, which not) as well as how the context changed from as well as then to now. We tin terminate piece of job Google Scholar to investigate how these papers got cited inward the intervening years. We tin terminate likewise consider if around of these algorithms tin terminate notice novel applications inward modern systems.

We run our distributed systems seminars to include give-and-take as well as grouping piece of job sessions, therefore I am certain nosotros volition live able to come upwardly up amongst novel insights/perspectives close these papers amongst the payoff of hindsight.

But I am non certain what the selected papers volition live yet. Here is my get-go encephalon dump on this. It may guide keep several weeks to finalize the list. If you lot guide keep suggestions, delight allow me know inward the comments. What should live the cutoff appointment for these papers? 2000 seems to live a reasonable cutoff date. We may fifty-fifty stretch this upwardly to 2007 to include a newspaper or two.
  1. Lamport. Time, clocks, as well as the ordering of events inward a distributed system, 1978.
  2. Lampson & Sturgis, Werner Vogels's spider web log has a "Back to the Basics Reading" label, which includes interesting papers.
