#1: Amazon Dynamo
Details
Hello and welcome to our first computer science paper reading club - the Paper Cup!
The format of Paper Cup meetings is as follows:
- You read the selected white paper at home,
- You come to the meetup in order to discuss the paper,
- We all vote on the next paper to read,
- repeat.
We'll be starting off with some of the classics that have changed todays world of computer science.
Required: The paper we'll be reading for this meetup is: "Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly Available Key-value Store" (2007) (http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/files/amazon-dynamo-sosp2007.pdf).
Bonus: We've also found the "How to read a Paper (http://ccr.sigcomm.org/online/files/p83-keshavA.pdf)" paper quite interesting for a first if you've never previously read a scientific publication, or if you have a minute to spare - it's only 2 pages long! :-)
We'll have food and drinks prepared for you.
Hint: It's recommended to bring a copy of the pdf with you to the meeting for reference.
