During the seminar the students will read and present articles about the design of algorithm for solving problems in the area of concurrent and distributed computing. Some of the topics are: concurrent data structures for multi-core computers; synchronization algorithms; resource allocation; lock-based and lock-free algorithms; fault-tolerance; reliability; self-stabilization; agreement problems; biological distributed algorithms; blockchain; deadlock detection; failure-detectors; network algorithms; the relative power of shared objects and models. Other topics can be suggested by the students. Most of the course material is based on recent research papers and books.
