The following template should be used for your reviews. Please note that by 'Template', I mean that you should have a paper with the following listed headings as sections. Do not deviate from this template. Answer all the questions in a compact, but meaningful manner. I do not need you to fluff your paper with garbage, but instead I expect your review to be no more than 2 pages. To turn in the review, simply email it to me before class the day that it is due.
What are the main problems addressed in this paper? How are they addressed (theory, system design)?
Is this an important problem? Why or why not? It is your job to decide if you believe the problem is important. Obviously, the author is not going to say, "This is really not an important problem but we thought we'd address it anyways".
What are the key ideas presented in this paper? What concepts should you leave with? Are these new ides about a design or are they evaluation methods? What is new that this paper solves and are the contributions important?
A summary of the main results from this paper. This is a summary of the key important results from the paper.
Rarely (never) is a paper perfect. What assumptions are made by the authors? Are they valid assumptions? Realistic? What are the main drawbacks of this paper? Are the solutions limited in some sense? Did they not solve the problems proposed? Does the solution only have a narrow scope? Can this approach be improved or extended to solve some of the weaknesses?
