The course will consist of paper reading and in-depth discussion.
I'm also adding some reviewing to the work you have to do.
- January 29, 1999:
Two papers that are in the CS140 box. I'm not posting the titles
since they are out for review. You are to review both of them
as if you were a referee for this conference, and either email
me the review, or bring it to class.
Here's the review form (you can
also get it from
/ruby/homes/ftp/pub/plank/classes/cs660/review_form.txt)
- February 5, 1999:
J. Bester, I. Foster, C. Kesselman, J. Tedesco, S. Tuecke,
``GASS:
A Data Movement and Access Service for Wide Area Computing Systems,''
submitted for publication.
Use the above review form to review this paper, only assume that this
time it is going to a conference on distributed computing.
The composite class review.
- February 12, 1999:
K. D. Ryu and J. K. Hollingsworth,
``Linger Longer:
Fine-Grain Cycle Stealing for Networks of Workstations,''
SC'98 (Orlando, FL - Nov. 1998).
Use the above review form to review this paper -- assume that this
time it is going to a conference on distributed computing.
If you're lost on how to print PDF, get the paper, log into
kenner, and run /blugreen/homes/plank/bin/SUNMP/acroread
on it. Or get someone else to do it.
- February 19, 1999:
R. Wolski, N Spring, and J. Hayes,
``Predicting
the CPU Availability of Time-shared
Unix Systems,'' UCSD Technical Report Number CS98-602, 1998.
Assume that you are reviewing this for a conference on measurement
of computer systems.
Here are the actual
SIGMETRICS '99 reviews.
- February 26, 1999:
Rich will be leading class. There are two extended abstracts
to review. These are going to a conference on high-performance
distributed computing. The abstracts
are in Rachel's box -- get them and make yourself
copies.
- March 12, 1999:
Another extended abstract to review -- get it locally at
/blugreen/homes/plank/class.ps -- assume that you are reviewing
it for a conference on High Performance computing.
- March 26, 1999:
David D. Clark,
``Adding
Service Discrimination to the Internet,''
Technical Report from the Advanced Network Architecture group
at MIT, September, 1995. Assume that you are reviewing this

copy at /blugreen/homes/plank/TPRC2-0.ps.
- April 9, 1999:
J. S. Plank and M. G. Thomason,
``The Average Availability of Parallel
Checkpointing Systems and Its
Importance in Selecting Runtime Parameters,''
Accepted to FTCS-29
(29th International Symposium on
Fault-Tolerant Computing). Here's your job -- review the
paper, then read over the real FTCS reviews. I have put
a copy in Rachel's box. Think about how your reviews compare
to the FTCS reviews.
- April 16, 1999: Anonymous paper to review.
- April 23, 1999:
J. K. Hollingsworth and S. Maneewongvatana,
