I want to read some technical papers on distributed systems to understand what work has been in focus over the past few years and to learn a bit more about those topics.
One thing I'm not sure about is how to even find papers like that and then how to read them once I do.
I think USENIX's OSDI would have some relevant stuff, but the best thing I can do right now is search through proceedings as in https://www.usenix.org/publications/proceedings/OSDI which is a bit overwhelming.
Can anyone suggest reading lists or other methods for finding / viewing papers that might be helpful here?
