The program is organized along two tracks: a Systems Track and a Theory Track, which are designed for students whose primary interests are systems and theory research respectively. In addition, we can tailor a special program for you if you have interests in both areas; contact Martha Clarke for scheduling. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Prof. Hui Zhang, Prof. Avrim Blum, Prof. Bob Harper, or your faculty contacts.
