===== Reference Papers =====

These are some papers you can use for paper review. As I mentioned in the class it is done in groups of 2. Choose the paper and clear it with me first.

If you want to review a paper that is not mentioned here, please discuss it with me first

  - FPGA's (architecture or mapping application to)
  - Analysis of key kernel algorithms in DSP to detect parallelism


====== Paper Format ======

The paper review is 4-8 pages 1.5 space font size 12.

Your review should start with an introduction, what is the topic of the paper you are reviewing, and why is this topic important. This is usually taken from the paper you are reviewing, but not verbatim, use your own words.

Then, previous work. here briefly review what was done in this topic and who did it. No need for a complete review, just 2-3 papers and a couple of sentences for each paper and how is that different from the main topic of the paper you are reviewing.

The bulk of the work is explaining the paper you are reviewing. Usually the paper is written for a level that is higher than 4th year undergraduate students, so imagine that you are trying to explain this paper to a classmate. I will be looking for did you really understand the topic, or you are just paraphrasing the paper you are reviewing.

Finally a small paragraph on what you see as future work and extension of the work in the paper
