CS 7270 Reading List

Review Requirements

You are responsible for reviewing three papers over the course of the semester. You should email each review to Richard Liston (liston@cc), before we cover the paper in class. Your review should be less than one page long, and should include the following:

One sentence summary of problem being solved by the paper.
The three most important ideas or conclusions in the paper. (1 paragraph)
The most significant flaw or limitation you can identify with the work as presented. (1 paragraph)
The relevance of the paper with respect to design and engineering of networked applications and services. What did you learn that might have broader impact? (1 paragraph)
A recommendation about whether this paper should be kept in the reading list for next time. (A=essential, B=good, C=marginal, F=worthless)

Note that it is not acceptable to take sentences directly from the paper itself. You should use your own words in the review.
