Colloquium Series 2006

The Advanced Networks Colloquium Series is a technical seminar series presented by the Center for Satellite and Hybrid Communication Networks, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland.

The colloquium series invites prominent academic and industrial researchers in the fields of networking, computer communications, and telecommunications to present their work to the University audience.

It is the aim of the colloquium series committee to offer seminars which help University faculty and students keep abreast of the latest research in networking and foster greater contact with both industry and the rest of academia.
