CS 534 Advanced Object-Oriented Programming, Fall 2017

Literature Review

Grad students are required to review a recent paper regarding design patterns.

  1. Pick a paper published in a recent (i.e. in the last ~5 years) reputable conference (e.g. ICSE, OOPSLA/SPLASH, ECOOP) or journal (e.g. IEEE Software, ACM TOSEM).

  2. Ideally, the paper should be about design patterns, but anything related to object-oriented programming is acceptable.

  3. Send the paper link to the instructor for approval.

  4. Prepare a review of the paper as a report. A “review” is a serious job. In particular, focus on the following things:
    • What is the paper about? What problem does it address? What are the assumptions about its problem context?
    • How does the paper solve the problem?
    • What are the strengths and weaknesses?
    • How can the paper be extended for future work?

    Reading papers that cite the picked paper is a smart trick to quickly see what other researchers think about this paper.

  5. At the end of the semester, you will submit the report, and present the paper in class.

Potential paper list:

Note: A paper can be picked by at most one person in a section. Students from different sections may pick the same paper. Sections are denoted in parentheses next to student names.
