Seminar • Systems and Networking • Ledgers, Machines, and Markets

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 1302.

Yaron Minsky, Jane Street

The rise of blockchain has led to a renewed interest in the use of ledgers as a basic data-structure for building distributed systems.

But the use of ledgers to build distributed systems is a very old idea, playing an important role in both academic computer science (in the guise of state machine replication) and in real-world financial technology.

PhD Seminar • Algorithms and Complexity • Shortest Beer Path Queries in Interval Graphs

Please note: This PhD seminar will take place in DC 1304 and online.

Kevin Wu, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Ian Munro

Our interest is in paths between pairs of vertices that go through at least one of a subset of the vertices known as beer vertices. Such a path is called a beer path, and the beer distance between two vertices is the length of the shortest beer path.
