Frank McSherry. Privacy Integrated Queries: An Extensible Platform for Privacy-Preserving Data Analysis. In Proceedings of the 35th ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, ACM, pp. 19-30, 2009. 
This paper reports on the design and implementation of the Privacy Integrated Queries (PINQ) platform, which provides an implementation of differential privacy on a SQL-like language. 
Presented by Heider Wahsheh

HGHchce presented also a bit of Airvat and Fuzz
The presentation was a bit confusing, but lively


Arpita Ghosh, Tim Roughgarden, and Mukund Sundararajan. Universally Utility-maximizing Privacy Mechanisms. SIAM Journal of Computing, 41(6), 1673-1693, 2012. A preliminary version of this paper appeared in the Proceedings of STOC, 2009. 
This paper shows that the geometric mechanism and the truncated geometric mechanism are universally optimal for counting queries. 
Presented by Mauro Tempesta

Very clear presentation!!!
He seems to have understood the paper in depth


Hai Brenner and Kobbi Nissim. Impossibility of Differentially Private Universally Optimal Mechanisms. SIAM Journal of Computing, 43(5), 1513-1540, 2014. 
This paper shows that universally optimal mechanisms exist only for counting queries.
