About the Reading Report :
Each student was assigned one paper in the area of
Web based information architectures.
A reading report should be turned in before the presentation
of your paper reading.
The reading report should focus on your reading material.
It has two kinds of styles: (1)field overview, (2)papers critiques. The
first one is suitable for the survey papers, and the second one for
ordinary research papers. You can write your report in accordance with
the templates accordingly.
The report should be written in Chinese, without words
limits.
(1)Summarize the (at most) 3 key main ideas (each in 1 sentence.)
(2)State the main contribution of the paper
(3)Critique the main contribution
- Rate the significance of the paper on a scale of 5 (breakthrough), 4 (significant contribution), 3 (modest contribution), 2 (incremental contribution), 1 (no contribution or negative contribution). Explain your rating in a sentence or two.
- Rate how convincing the methodology is: do the claims and conclusions follow from the experiments? Are the assumptions realistic? Are the experiments well designed? Are there different experiments that would be more convincing? Are there other alternatives the authors should have considered? (And, of course, is the paper free of methodological errors.
- What is the most important limitation of the approach?
(4)What lessons should system researchers and builders take away from this work. What (if any) questions does this work leave open?
The overview should try to answer the following questions:
(1)What are the main research issues in the field?
(2)What are the main methods to deal with these issues?
(3)What are the scientists doing now in the field?
(4)What directions will the research go forward?
