Here is a list of papers from the "Advanced Distributed Systems" course at UIUC: http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/class/sp09/cs525/sched.htm

Full disclosure: my advisor teaches this class.

That was one of my favorite classes at UIUC. Distributed systems are about as cool as it gets, and this course gets to the root of them.

This was a set of papers used in a similar course at University Of Arizona

Here's the class page: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/classes/cs652/spring07/

So when is someone going to aggregate all of these into an easy to read and find wiki? As opposed to sitting in the back of someones head/bookmarks?

Wow I never thought of harvard as cutting edge computer science, this class looks awesome ;) Need to get my college to host something like it.

Thank you so much, and I urge you to continue posting such papers. It's the best source to learn from.
