Research Advices:
Networking on the
Network: A Guide to Professional Skills
for PhD Students Phil Agre
“Networking
on the Network” includes good advice accumulated from dozens of people
over many years, and I want to get it into the hands of every PhD student in
the world. If you could help me out with this goal, I would much appreciate it.
How to Be a Good Graduate Student Marie des Jardins
This paper attempts to raise some issues that are important for
graduate students to be successful and to get as much out of the process as
possible, and for advisors who wish to help their students be successful.
How to Write a PhD Thesis Joe
Wolfe
This guide to thesis writing gives simple
and practical advice on the problems of getting started, getting organized,
dividing the huge task into less formidable pieces and working on those pieces.
It also explains the practicalities of surviving the ordeal. It includes a
suggested structure and a guide to what should go in each section.
How to
Increase the Chance Your Paper is Accepted at ACM SIGCOMM Craig
Partridge
This note is some informal and personal advice about ways
authors can increase the chance that a paper they submit to ACM SIGCOMM will be
accepted. My dual purpose in writing this note is to help authors submit better
papers and help the SIGCOMM conference, by improving the quality of papers it
receives. My dubious qualifications to write this note are that I've served on
the SIGCOMM Program Committee every year since 1989 and was Co-Program Chair in
1994 and that I've had two papers accepted, and several papers rejected, by ACM
SIGCOMM.
THE TASK OF THE REFEREE Alan Jay Smith
Computer researchers have a professional obligation to referee the work of others. This article tells you how to evaluate a paper and write a report using common standards and procedures.

院长话题
我曾在各种场合反复强调同一个观点，中国决不缺乏对于"技术原创"而言至关重要的智力能源，只是在应用能源的机制方面有待于革新。关于这个观点，还有一个推论，那就是：我们固然应当注重培养人才、发掘人才、招揽人才，但我们更应该探寻出一种使人才价值得以完全发挥的文化模式。
IT = IP+IQ
—— 写在4.26世界知识产权保护日来临之际
如果把微软、通用电气和沃尔玛这几个全球市值最高的企业放置到一起观察，我们会发现微软无论在企业规模、不动产总量、员工数目等各个方面均低于后两者，然而这并不妨碍微软在现有条件下继续提升投资者的信心指数。如果说传统企业的战略注重物业资源的积累和应用，那么IT企业的战略则更强调智慧能源的开掘和保护，有鉴于此，我曾提出过一个概念，那便是IT=IP（Intellectual properties）+IQ（Talents）。
通常，大型软件企业会组建研究院、实验室或类似的机构来完成其核心技术的积累和未来产品的预研工作。与政府或大学的研究机构不同的是，企业的研究机构在从事基础研究工作的同时，还必须为企业的长远发展着想，为提高企业核心竞争力服务。将其概括起来，就是企业研究院所需承担的三大使命——第一、帮助企业制订长远的技术发展战略，作企业“技术战略的智囊团”；第二、吸引一流的人才，创造新的知识，成为企业“研究成果的诞生地”；第三、把握技术趋势和市场发展动向、大胆创新，担当企业未来“核心技术的孵化器”。
最近北京发生的SARS疫情使很多人都有机会重新审视自己生命的价值和意义，都更体会到亲情和友情的可贵。这些时日里，我除了能与家人更多地相处外，还有机会与沈向洋、张宏江及其它研究院同仁们一起共同回顾微软亚洲研究院四年多来的发展历程，对研究院在管理、文化及人才等各方面的特点进行了一些总结。这里当然有微软公司文化的积淀，同时也不乏研究院4年发展过程中的一些创新的经验和体会。我把它称之为“微软亚洲研究院管理方程式”。
核心技术是软件企业的命脉，缺乏核心技术的软件企业不可能拥有持续、稳定的发展能力。培养和积累核心技术是一个长期的过程，这需要软件企业从宏观上确立明确的技术发展战略，制定出详细的技术发展规划，并投入充足的资源，用技术研发的方式积累企业自身的技术竞争力。通常，大型软件企业会组建研究院、实验室或类似的机构来完成企业的核心技术的积累和未来产品的预研工作。与政府或院校研究机构不同的是，企业的研究机构在从事基础研究工作的同时，还必须为企业的长远发展着想，为提高企业核心竞争力服务。在众多大型跨国公司组建的研究机构中，微软研究院就是其中一个成功的典范。
2000年秋，由于微软亚洲研究院在学术界的影响越来越大，张亚勤院长对未来研究院的发展作了很多大胆的预测。 当谈到表现研究院学术实力重要指数之一的学术论文时，他半开玩笑地说：“我们在世界一流学术刊物和国际专业会议上发表的论文数在最初几年应该呈几何级数增&#
