MAS Reading Group

The group meets on Mondays at 10am in the conference room (SWGN 3A75). You can subscribe to our mailing list (but email me first) if you want to get the meeting announcements and reminders. The meetings are also posted in the USC CSE calendar. Anyone interested in multiagent systems is welcome. Some of the papers below are in my library which is protected by a password; just send me an email if you want the password. I also have a list of candidate papers, in case you want to volunteer as discussion leader.

If you want to get an extra unit of credit for attending the reading group you can sign up for CSCE 797 Section 20. This is 1 unit pass-fail. Note that you do not need to sign up in order to attend.
