HW2: Paper Selection Homework

Conferences to pick papers. 2 methods - go to conference sites listed below - or you can do a google and search for topics that you find interesting.

 

Google - use filetype:pdf   to find pdf of paper (with the title).

Example: 
An Adaptive Non-Blocking GVT Algorithm filetype:pdf


ACM SIGSIM Conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (PADS)

Any paper from 2000 or later are fine, here are the last 3 years but you may pick earlier papers:
  1. PADS-2020-Program.htm (2020 program)
  2. PADS-2019-Program.htm (2019 Program)
  3. PADS-2018-Program.htm (2018 Program)
  4. PADS-2017-Program.htm (2017 Program)

look for title then search for pdf independently.
