Paper presentation
1.
What?
Arrange yourselves in groups of at most 2 students.
Each group should select one of the topics suggested below and study
related papers. Possible sources: Cluster, Cloud and Grid
Computing Conference, Journal of Grid Computing, Journal of
Parallel and Distributed Computing, Argonne National
Laboratory (ANL) reports
Prepare a report of at most 4 pages and send me by email
(ines@dcc.fc.up.pt) with SUBJECT: "CG ASSIGNMENT 3". Your report
should contain a brief explanation of how and why you chose some
papers (what keywords and search engines did you use? -- systematic
review!) a summary of the chosen papers and an appreciation of
these papers regarding:
- main problem being solved
- bibliography (is it adequate and up-to-date?)
- organisation (is it well written, does it use proper figures
and graphics? Are the contents well explained?)
- relevance (is the subject relevant?)
- methodology and experiments (could you reproduce the
experiments? Are the results of good quality according to the
state-of-the-art in the area?)
Each group will have 15 to 20 minutes to present a summary of the
selected topic along with criticisms (powerpoint or similar).
2. Why?
Develop competences on paper evaluation and develop critical thinking.
Get acquainted with recent works being developed in the area.
3. When?
May 15th: send the report by email (presentation dates yet to be defined).
Suggested topics: (some papers are
suggested, but you should look at the most recent literature and do
a search for your topic)
