This is an old revision of the document!
Goal: Learn how to do a thorough literature search.
Task: For the following research problem, go on an electronic hunt to find all relevant research papers targeted at some aspect of this problem.
Topic/research problem: “testing security of web applications”
Deliverable: A complete citation for each paper found (all authors in order, title, conference/journal, date).
Each citation should be on a separate strip of paper. - Print them out and cut the paper so each cite is separate. We
will be using these separate small sheets of single citations in class.
Resources to use: IEEE digital library, ACM digital library (UD has licenses for both of these. You can access
them on campus without paying for articles, or set up a UD proxy (see the technology help desk online at UD for help).
Citeseer, Google scholar.
Main conferences of interest: ICSE, ISSTA, FSE, ICST, ISSRE, ICSM, OOPSLA, some security conferences
Main journals: ACM TOSEM, IEEE TSE
Due at start of class on Tuesday, September 9.
