Coming seminars

Date Time Room Speaker Topic
2018-09-13 15:15 ITC 1311 Erez Petrank, Technion, Israel Persistent Data Structures for Non-Volatile Memory

What is it?

(TAS)@UpMARC is a seminar serie on various topics related to UPMARC. It used to be held every Thursday Afternoon (hence, the name), but this constraint has somewhat been loosen with time. It is now renamed to Theory and Applications.


The purpose is to meet and learn what people in related areas are doing. It is necessary for any researcher to make presentations, and this is a great opportunity to train your presentation skills in a context that is more relaxed than a big conference. Your colleagues want to know what you are doing.


Scope: Presentations may give a broad overview of the person's research area, or go into details on some specific topic the speaker has worked on. The presentations should be accessible to anyone who is at least a PhD student in computer science without reading any related research papers.


PhD course credits: Indeed, you can get some for a presentation. (disclaimer )


It historically started as TAPVES and got extended to UPMARC.

How does it work?

Anyone is welcome to present and attend, including PhD students, senior researchers, and undergraduate students near finishing.

You can sign up to present on a (TAS)@UpMarc! Simply:

  • send an email to Jari Stenman with as much details about the presentation as possible. (Date, title, co-authors, slides, abstract, etc ...)

Or do it yourself:

  1. edit this wiki page and LäsIT or send a mail to lesit@it.uu.se with the headings of a normal LäsIT seminar.
  2. add your name
  3. [Optional] create a subpage called yyyy-mm-dd for your abstract and link it to your title
  4. Send an email to Jari Stenman to tell him you have done the ground work.
