Telcordia Technologies Applied Research

MIDNIGHT SEMINARS

Midnight seminars cover a broad range of topics such as telecommunications, computer science, applications, and other important problems. Talks are not limited to technical issues but also deal with interdisciplinary and intellectually challenging material. The seminar series is different from other Applied Research talks and presentations; it is open to external attendees, more forward-looking and of broader scope. Suggestions for talks are welcome.
