How would you grade a survey?
  • Who would want to read your paper?
  • What would they expect of it?
  • What would make them satisfied with your paper?


  • Is there a real need for this paper?
7
The survey as a synthesis of information
  • Organizes and summarizes the work
    • What’s the commonality in their problems, approaches and evaluation?
    • How are they significantly different from each other with respect to our topic of focus?
    • How accurately does it capture the materials present?
    • Are the papers chosen representative of the most relevant and highest quality papers?
    • What existing fields contribute to their expertise to research in this area?
8
The survey as a critical review
  • Makes a value judgment or editorial comment on the paper
    • What do you think the future research trends in this area are?  Why?
    • What do you think the significant barriers to progress in this field are?
    • What aspects of this area are underrepresented in the current research?

    • Different from ACM Computing Surveys or ARIST chapters
      • They emphasize an objective viewpoint

9
Other points
  • Be succinct
    • Make sure you edit and proofread your work.  English usage will factor into your grade if it hampers getting your points across


  • A secondary source
    • Provide an abstract
    • Other: index, navigational tips, figures or tables.
