Study Topics and Reading Material

The following is a list of some papers on the two topics that we will cover in the course. The listed papers include those that I find interesting. If you find other papers that you would like to read and study, please contact me. I have focused mostly (but not exclusively) on conference publications. This is not because they are more important, but only because they are shorter and may be easier to handle. Please note that the publications listed under Overview subsections of each section are not to be presented by anyone, but they are to be read by everyone.

Most of the papers listed below can be accessed (and searched) on-line from UW machines -- UW maintains a campus-wide subscription to the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Digital Library, so you should be able to search it and retrieve from it if you are coming from any machine on the UW campus network. Papers published in ACM journals and proceedings can be accessed through the ACM Digital Library while those published in IEEE sources can be obtained from IEEE Xplore. Springer publications (e.g., Lecture Notes in Computer Science - LNCS) can be obtained from Springer LINK. You may also be interested in exploring Michael Ley's databases and logic programming bibliography server (it actually has much wider coverage than its name suggests), which is searchable and contains many links to on-line papers. If the paper can only be obtained from another source, I try to provide a link to the original source (usually from the paper's title).
