Asynchronous Systems Labs (ASLs)

The aim of this seminar series is to provide a forum for research staff and students to present and discuss work on a wide range of topics related to the theory and applications of concurrent and distributed systems. The meetings are organised jointly by the School of Computing Science (Maciej Koutny) and the School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering (Alex Yakovlev).

This is the schedule of upcoming ASLs.
