Korean Graduate students
System Research Group (KGSYS)



Introduction

KGSYS (Korean Graduate students SYStem research group ) is a non-official research group by Korean Ph.D students in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at University of Maryland, interested in researche areas relevent to System, Network and Network Security.

Group readings and seminars about various fields in System, Network and Network Security has been conducted under the name of KGSYS since 2002.

The group has been developed from a small reading group by three Ph.D students in Dept. of Computer Science at Univ of Maryland in 2002. They started with the book "TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 2" by Wright Stevens and agreed to keep the collaboration in researches.
