things added since last time

I taught this course a three years ago! That was Spring 2005. Marie taught it again in 2006, and Krishna in 2007. What did they add? What should I add?

Marie added a mailing list, and a wiki. I've set up a blog.

Marie used some AI papers, as examples for summaries. I might use some different papers.

I like the CV material, and students need to learn about professional networking. So I'll keep the paper by Susan Eggers, Networking and Professional Social Interaction.

Faculty research presentations are a good idea!

The statistical methods should be good. You might argue that there should be more than a week. One Matlab class is fine, but we could do SAS or some other stat package. TBD.

Tim Finin talked about setting up a web presence, and he had other comments in a ppt.

Looking at Krishna's schedule from last year: pointers to IEEE and ACM Computing Surveys.

I want to add links to the ACM DL, citeseer, Google Scholar, Usenix, HBR, maybe others...

Writing Technical Articles (with emphasis on paper in systems and networks), by Henning Schulzrinne.

Jack Lynch's Guide to Grammar and Style (Last Updated: Dec 2006 as of March 2007)

There's a lot out there on writing technical papers.

Also, lots of LaTeX stuff.
