We will start the fall semester with a new set of reading group papers. As before, we have ten papers in total. Nine of them are new papers from top venues, and one is a foundational paper on Viestamped Replication. Instead of the original VR paper, we will look at its more modern counterpart/rewrite/update — “Viewstamped Replication Revisited.” Anyway, here is the full list:
- DistAI: Data-Driven Automated Invariant Learning for Distributed Protocols – September 1st
- Polyjuice: High-Performance Transactions via Learned Concurrency Control (OSDI’21) – September 8th
- Meerkat: multicore-scalable replicated transactions following the zero-coordination principle (EuroSys’20) – September 15th.
- Viewstamped Replication Revisited –
Classical/Foundation Paper – September 22nd - Don’t Look Back, Look into the Future: Prescient Data Partitioning and Migration for Deterministic Database Systems (SIGMOD’21) – September 29th

Reading Group
Our reading group takes place over Zoom every Thursday at 1:00 pm EST. We have a slack group where we post papers, hold offline discussions, and most importantly manage Zoom invites to paper presentations. Please join the slack group to get involved!
