The Summer School\u00a0exposed the audience, mainly comprising students, to cutting-edge research in the field of computer networking. Several eminent researchers in the field participated in the event; each delivered a series of lectures in their area of specialization. In addition to these lectures, the summer school provided opportunities for the attendees to network with the speakers. It is our hope that these lectures and interactions with the speakers conveyed to the students in the audience the excitement of conducting research in computer networking and inspired them to embark on a research career.<\/p>\n<p>This page includes information on the summer school program and also the key dates. Please note that past experience suggests that many more students than we could possibly accommodate are interested in attending, so we are constrained to select student attendees via a competitive process.\u00a0While students would comprise the bulk of the attendees, we also expect participation from post-doctoral researchers and research staff, selected based on the applications we receive.<\/p>\n<h2>Organizers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coordinators:<\/strong> <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" target=\"_blank\"

The Summer School\u00a0exposed the audience, mainly comprising students, to cutting-edge research in the field of computer networking. Several eminent researchers in the field participated in the event; each delivered a series of lectures in their area of specialization. In addition to these lectures, the summer school provided opportunities for the attendees to network with the speakers. It is our hope that these lectures and interactions with the speakers conveyed to the students in the audience the excitement of conducting research in computer networking and inspired them to embark on a research career.<\/p>\n<p>This page includes information on the summer school program and also the key dates. Please note that past experience suggests that many more students than we could possibly accommodate are interested in attending, so we are constrained to select student attendees via a competitive process.\u00a0While students would comprise the bulk of the attendees, we also expect participation from post-doctoral researchers and research staff, selected based on the applications we receive.<\/p>\n<h2>Organizers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coordinators:<\/strong> <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" target=\"_blank\"
