CACM Article Workspace

Strawman papers, outlines, old notes

• The Paper
• Dans CACM Sandbox
• Michael Wrinn's Sandbox
• Paul McKenney's Sandbox
• Charlie's Sandbox
• Example BKMs
• Early outline

Resources

• ACM's author guidelines
• editorial calendar link
• Moshe Vardi <vardi at cs dot rice dot edu> encouraged us to pursue this via email on 2008/12/15 and 2009/08. See Charlie for the details.

Bibliography

• CP's dissertation bibliography, support tag
• Be careful about referencing our own articles, see Zobel and ACM guidelines
• Reference for the percentage of college faculty whose undergraduate years were in a liberal arts/4 year college environment

People we should consider speaking with

• Chris Stephenson from the Computer Science Teachers Association (Donna Capo can provide an introduction)
• Dan Reed (Scott and I started this conversation in Austin, he's going to get back to us with suggestions for participants from Microsoft)
  • How should we address the views of people like Dan who believe that curriculum flows down from the "thought leaders", in this case UCB, Stanford, CMU and the like.

Tools, etc.

• Connexions: authoring tool and content repository (http://cnx.org/)

Notes, resources, etc.

• Are we talking about parallelism or parallel/distributed/grid computing or both? I think if we can stick to just parallelism and leave-out all the plumbing it will make a much cleaner argument. (charlie)
• Tom's email of Nov 22 plus student contests, we need to document the BKMs from this message.
• Queue case studies (http://www.acmqueue.com/), student contests and other materials
• Innovative speakers drawn from Academy & Industry leaders
• Explore Curriculum needs for a Many Core Platform
• Other topics as needed
