Due: Wednesday, March 27th.

• Read Smith, A. J., "The Task of the Referee"
• Read Wicke and Smith, "Decoupling Wide-Area Networks from Digital-to-Analog Converters in the World Wide Web"
• Find a research paper that you are willing to present to the class (briefly) and that we can discuss. You may want to pick a paper that is relatively short, conference papers are usually ~8 pages long. Pick a paper that is in a field you are interested in. A good idea is to pick a paper by a member of the CS department (not me). Their papers may be available directly from their web pages.
