The following template should be used for reviewing the main technical
paper at each class. Be brief.
Paper review: PAPER TITLE
Reviewer: REVIEWER NAME
1. Summarize the (at most) 3 key main ideas (each in 1 sentence.)
2. State the main contribution of the paper
3. Rate how convincing the methodology is
Consider questions like: 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 or compared against? (And, of course, is the paper free of methodological
errors.)
4. Answer one of the following four questions (whichever is most relevant
for this paper): What lessons should system researchers and builders take
away from this work. What is the lasting impact of this work? What (if any)
questions does this work leave open? What is the most significant
limitation of this work?
