Paper Reviews

There will be 2 paper review assignments, one from the paper collection on Internet Traffic and Internet Topology and the other from the collection on Internet Dynamics and Case Study. Read the paper you select in detail and write a review, which should contain:

• the paper title
• a summary
• an evaluation

Grading Criteria: A summary and an evaluation are the minimum. If you are able to complete these you get an A. If either of the parts is missing or the parts are not executed so that the grader could assess your understanding of the paper, you get something lower than an A. On the other hand, if you execute the summary or the evaluation in an extraordinary way, you get an A+. By extraordinary, the grader prefers to see one's genuine interpretations or opinions. The summary could be either detailed or concise. The evaluation could be positive or negative with elaborated comments on the 1) clarity, 2) correctness, 3) originality, and 4) significance of the paper. And usually the best evalution comes with suggestions on how to improve the paper or to which direction to continue the work.
