[Writing] Paper Writing and Paper Reviewing

Several links to resources about writing and presenting papers:

• Armando's Paper Writing and Presentations Page
• How to get your paper accepted at OOPSLA
• How (and How Not) to Write a Good Systems Paper
• Middleware Matters: Conference reviewing

From the latter:

Don't submit your paper if:

• you can't organize your thoughts in writing
• you can't tell the reader what contribution you're hoping to make
• you haven't searched for and studied related work, or can't fairly
  compare your work to related efforts
• you can't detail your solution or list its pros and cons
• you haven't prototyped or implemented your work
• you can't meaningfully measure your prototype/implementation or analyze
  those measurements
• you can't be bothered to find and list appropriate references

And, finally:

Good reviewers are overloaded and are looking for an excuse to stop reading your
paper. Don't give them one.
