The cloud computing speaker series is held a component of Maryland's cloud computing course for Spring 2008. Given the focus of the project on language processing and retrieval applications, many of the talks are also held in conjunction with the CLIP colloquium series. Talks are typically held on Wedesdays at 11am in AVW 2120, and are open to the public.
