Reading List

This list will be enriched during the course of this class. Please let me know if you find more interesting papers / links. The readings are roughly put into five groups. I would like the students of our class divided into five groups so within each group, you can discuss ideas and questions. A course project will need to be finished towards the end of the semester. Two presentations (or two parts of a presentation) are expected from each student or group - a survey and a project report.
