In the two-page reading summary, the questions you should answer after reading each paper include the following:
1. What is the primary objective of the research and what are motivations?
2. What are the specific research problems/issues addressed in the paper, and what are the primary research methodologies? how much you understand the problem formulation and methods? What are your opinions on and reactions to the problems/issues and the research methodologies?
3. What are the primary contributions? What you like the work most, and what you do not like the work most? Why?
4. If you are asked to repeat some technical work by simulation, what are the major problems/difficulties/issues?
All reading reports should be turned in the hardcopy in an envelope.
