CS295J/How Tos

Add to a reading list

This is done at several levels. These levels can be completed at different times.

1. edit the wiki page CS295J/Literature (or a related (sub)page) and including a reasonably complete citation to the work. Also create a key for the item. The key should be constructed from the first author's last name, the year of publication, and a three-letter-acronym for the first three real words in the title; these three element should be connected with dashes, e.g., Laidlaw-1998-XYZ.
2. get a pdf or a reliable link to a pdf and point to it.
3. add a summary evaluation about the paper under the citation. This summary should only indicate how relevant the paper is to our research project goals. Put your name at the end of the evaluation.
4. if the relevance is high, create a new page for describing the relationship of the item to our research. This page should be named using the key created above.

Here is an example:

Laidlaw-2007-QTI David H. Laidlaw, Stephanie Lee, Stephen Correia, David Tate, Robert Paul, Song Zhang, Steven Salloway, and Paul Malloy. Quantitative Tract of Interest Metrics for White Matter Integrity based on Diffusion Tensor MRI Data. Views Radiology, 8(4):2-4, 2007.

No relevance to our project, unless we can use tract-based measures of users to calibrate user interfaces (seems unlikely, although an intriguing future direction. (David)

Read protected papers from a remote location

Many papers can be accessed while using one of Brown's networks, but cannot be accessed from a remote location. There are two ways around this:

1. Use a standard VPN client:
   1. VPN with Windows
   2. VPN with Mac OSX
2. Use WebVPN to access campus-based web services such as the Brown library resources.

For general information, see the Brown CIS VPN FAQ.
