 Write a 10-page (double spaced) review paper integrating and expanding the selected research paper

 This will not be a paper report (to review the references), rather a thoughtful discussion of the research

 Papers and articles from IEEE Transactions on Computers, and the Communications of the ACM; or

other journals or proceedings approved by the instructor.
