Birds of a Feather

BoF (Birds of a Feather) sessions provide an informal, town-hall-like forum for the discussion of technical or social issues among interested parties and they provide a venue for communities (existing or dynamically organized) to network, leading to potential collaborations. Previous conferences have included BoF topics such as robotics, cybersecurity, diversity in computing, and the enhancement of diversity initiatives in computer science research. Sessions are structured to bring together “different” communities.
