740: Computer Architecture Guidelines on Paper Reviews Prof. Onur Mutlu Carnegie Mellon University Fall 2013

How to Do the Paper/Talk Reviews 1: Brief summary What is the problem the paper is trying to solve? What are the key ideas of the paper? Key insights? What is the key contribution to literature at the time it was written? What are the most important things you take out from it? 2: Strengths (most important ones) Does the paper solve the problem well? 3: Weaknesses (most important ones) This is where you should think critically. Every paper/idea has a weakness. This does not mean the paper is necessarily bad. It means there is room for improvement and future research can accomplish this. 4: Can you do (much) better? Present your thoughts/ideas. 5: What have you learned/enjoyed/disliked in the paper? Why? Review should be short and concise (~half a page or shorter)

Advice on Paper/Talk Reviews When doing the reviews, be very critical Always think about better ways of solving the problem or related problems Do background reading Reviewing a paper/talk is the best way of learning about a research problem/topic Think about forming a literature survey topic or a research proposal

Reading(s) on Refereeing CS Papers Smith, “The Task of the Referee,” IEEE Computer 1990. Provides an idea of the publication process Provides guidance on how to perform technical reviews Also see: Hill and McKinley, “Notes on Constructive and Positive Reviewing” http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mckinley/notes/reviewing.html Levin and Redell, “How (and how not) to write a good systems paper,” OSR 1983. Jones, “How to Write a Great Research Paper”

Literature Survey More information to come… In the meantime: Read a lot of papers; find focused problem areas to survey papers on We will provide a list of project ideas and papers associated with them A good way of finding topics to survey or do projects on is: Examining the provided project ideas and papers Reading assigned papers in lectures Examining papers from recent conferences (ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, ASPLOS, …)
