!! 2 paragraphs for executive summary\n* what is the paper trying to do?\n* what is potential contribution of paper?\n* summary of strengths and weaknesses\n\n!! several paragraphs of details (listed in order of importance)\n* technical flaws?\n* structure of paper?\n* are key ideas brought out?\n* motivation and justification of approach -- why are these ideas important?\n* presentation? (ex: undefined terms, unclear sections…)\n* comparison with relevant work? \n\n!! questions and issues raised in the class \n* Include answers to the most interesting questions raised in the class\n* What other issues are raised?\n* How could you improve the paper?\n* Potential follow-up work, future work?\n\n(The format is borrowed from Ousterhout's advice for paper reviewing.) \n\n!!! Finish your review within 3 days of the class, and email me a pdf of your review. Include your name as the note-taker for the paper.

This semester we will discuss the following 28 papers in 14 weeks. Each student will serve as a presenter for 2 papers, as a note-taker for 2 other papers, and as a participant for the remaining papers. I will evaluate the student for each role throughout the semester, and assign the S/U grade based on these performances.\n\nEach week we will review 2 research papers, sparing 1 hour for each paper. We will make heavy use of our course blog, http://cse703.blogspot.com/. Here are the rules:\n\n* By the morning (6am) of the seminar, each participant should have contributed 1 or at most 2 questions about the paper to our course blog http://cse703.blogspot.com/. A participant should state a question that is not stated by another participant. The question should have some substance and depth, otherwise the participant will not be able to get any credit from the question.\n\n* The presenter will use 40 minutes to discuss the heart (the most important and useful part) of the paper. The presenter is allowed to use up to 10 slides. Slides should be in pdf format, and use large fonts. Avoid cramming text in the slides.\n\n* In the last 20 minutes, the presenter will be answering the questions collected at the blog. The presenter should have a very good understanding of the paper, and should have read the relevant work mentioned in the paper (if needed) to be able to defend the paper. Although we will all chime in for discussion on some questions, the presenter should be competent enough to answer most of the questions.\n\n* Throughout this hour, the note-taker will write down the questions suggested, the presenter's main points about the paper, and the points that come up in our discussion. After the class, the note-taker is responsible for writing a review of the paper based on these notes. The review should follow these FormattingGuidelines.\n
