Like Dickens: this is the best of times, and it's the worst of times.



First, you should always consider commercial services like DIALOG.
They cost money, and they are paid to attempt to maintain quality,
but you should also be very wary of these services.
I have tested them, and in the wider world, they all lack, but
they are the best you can do.



Second: consider the Web.  Quite a few references, mostly newer exist.
Quite impressive if you know how TO PHRASE YOUR QUERY.
Impressive are NCSTRL, Alf's and other sources.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM: www.acm.org)
and IEEE have placed many of their proceedings on line with
their digital libraries.
At this time, this service is free, and will likely remain free to
ACM and IEEE members,
BUT it is likely that non-members will have to pay for use in the future.



Third: Specialization:

Parallel I/O (Dave Kotz)  [does a particularly nice job]
------------
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/cs_archive/pario/

I have largely incorporated Dave's biblio into mine.

Parallel debugging (Cheri Pancake's has been merged into Miya's)
------------------
I have largely incorporated Cheri's biblio into mine.

Additionally:

Nelson Beebe attempts to maintain a supercomputing bibliography at
the U. of UT.

Graduate advisors continue to give new students the assignment of
compiling bibliographies at the start of their theses.  The quality of
works tends to be more mixed than most realize.  Typos are very easily
introduced.

It has been my experience that even the best compilers of bibliographic
information (distinguished people) still introduce errors.  This
makes machine readable text at least superior to hardcopy.

Content-wise: there is large bias toward the English language,
but there is growing interest in other languages (including French,
Spanish, and the various Asian languages [handling UNICODE is beyond
this current capability at the moment]).  So good luck on all but
the most general searches.

There are other attempts of comprehensive biblios on parallelism.
Web searching, digital libraries are left to you the reader to roam.

I have a pretty reasonable awareness, if not perfect, of what's
available on the Web and out in the world.

Fragments of these are slowly being incorporated in....


If not specialized (generalist):
Fourth: consider my biblio (NASA.TM-86000).  It attempts to be comprehensive.
It's main advantage is the collected set of comments, errata, flames, etc.
(annotations).  This is possibly a very nice biblio in many respects.
It helps to have real tools and not just a text editor.
DISADVANTAGES: needs lots of catch up work.  Volunteers?


%A Ulrike Bernutat-Buchmann
%A Dietmar Rudolph
%A Karl-Heinz ScholBer
%T Parallel Computing I Eine Bibliographie
%I Rechenzentrum und Ruhr-Universitat Bochum
%D September 1983
%K book, text, paper,
%O ISSN: 0723-2187
%X An extremely large printed bibliography on the subject.
It is probably in a machine readable form.  Possibly lost.
It has over 5000 entries, many in European languages.
Merged it with NASA TM-86000.
Has a cross reference list, does have keywords but they are not printed.



ADVANTAGES: Free.  If a reference isn't inside my biblio (especially older),
then it might be questionable.  Ask.  I might not have it, or
I might not yet have integrated inside.  The idea behind my biblio
is to be able to
        1) locate useful information,
        2) not merely cite sources,
        3) reformat information as needed,
        4) have useful assessments, errata, etc.
to steer clear of less and useful information, but this can create conflicts.
Other biblios posted to the net on topics like load balancing, neural nets,
APL, etc. have been reformatted and incorporated as time permits.

The purpose of my biblio is to use it.  It's way beyond promotion time.
My biblio is not meant as advertising, yet it can be construded to
a limited degree.  Where it differs from commercial services is that
ANYONE can provide an intelligent comment,
I'll even take semi-intelligent comment (you can express your opinion).
ANYONE CAN SUGGEST A COMMENT, AND NO OTHER BIBLIO ALLOWS THAT.
Some of the best computer people in the world have commented inside
this biblio.




Formats:
refer
        Slowly disappearing.
        Advantages: can be used for reformating as well as search.
bibTeX
        Advantages: powerful, can be used with reformatting.
        Disadvantages: some people give references w/o giving Macros.
        This can really suck (a real pisser).  Bulky.
Scribe
        Slowly disappearing.
        Advantages: can be used for reformating.
Script
        Slowly disappearing.
        Advantages: can be used for reformating.
Z39.50 and Dublin Core
        Watch for these.
        Disadvantages: must be reformatted.
InterBib
        Too early to tell.

Bibliographic citation:
Largely irrelevant, the field either doesn't care or has minor significance.
The field is diverse: some areas sensitive, other areas not.
Potential land mines:
Authors by last name alphabetic order
Authors by order of importance to work
Authors by first name initials
Authors by full name


Dennis Allison (Stanford and HaL) informs me that Satya got the copyright back
and we have redistribution authority.


The parallel/distributed processing bibliography (in machine readable
form) is documented in ACM CAN:

%A E. N. Miya
%T Multiprocessor/Distributed Processing Bibliography
%J Computer Architecture News
%I ACM SIGARCH
%V 13
%N 1
%D March 1985
%P 27-29
%K Annotated bibliography, computer system architecture, multicomputers,
multiprocessor software, networks, operating systems, parallel processing,
parallel algorithms, programming languages, supercomputers,
vector processing, cellular automata, fault-tolerant computers,
some digital optical computing, some neural networks, simulated annealing,
concurrent, communications, interconnection,
%X Notice of this work.  Itself.  Quality: no comment.
Also short note published in NASA Tech Briefs vol. 12, no. 2, Feb. 1988,
pp. 62. Also referenced in Hennessy & Patterson pages 589-590.
About an earlier unmaintained version.  TM-86000 and ARC-11568.
Maintaining for ten years with constant updates (trying to be complete
but not succeeding).  Limited verification against bibliographic systems
(this is better than DIALOG).  Storing comments from colleagues
(DIALOG can't do this.)  Rehash sections on a Sequent as a test of parallel
search (this work exhibits unitary speed-up).  8^).
The attempt is to collect respected comments as well as references.
Yearly net posting results hopefully updated "grequired" and "grecommended"
search fields.  Attempted to be comprehensive up to 1989.

# Next three lines to be removed shortly:
In order to obtain a copy on the Internet,
I am required to ask for a letterhead from
an institution stating that they understand portions are copywritten.

It's free, so that is not much to ask.  Please also send any corrections,
typos, additions to me.  Annotations and keywords are particularly
encouraged, since I can't read everything.  Citation in any of your
published work is appreciated since this supports my work.
Send letterhead to:
        E. Miya
        MS 269-3
        NASA Ames Research Center
        Moffett Field, CA 94035
        FAX: US: 650-604-6999 (note area code change)

Please include your return Email address.  I maintain copies on some
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sites, your site may have one already.  Check with your site admin.
The usual place is kept controlled to abide by terms of the copyright.
I try to keep one point of contact to keep things simple.  A list follows.

If you are not on the Internet, you can obtain an older version
(with source files) from
        COSMIC
        Univ. of Georgia
        382 East Broad St.
        Athens, GA 30602
It's ASCII/refer (that's the format above) bibliographic, tar/Unix tape
format.  There is a tape handling charge.  Special requests: IBM format
tapes, VMS BACKUP format are also possible, ask me, not COSMIC for these.
Tape distribution is now restricted to North America, but I am trying
to get world-wide distribution again.

Details: Why refer?
        (1) human readable ASCII, not a binary format,
        (2) easily convertable to other formats (EBCDIC),
        (3) at the time bibtex didn't exist,
        (4) less overhead than bibtex (fields smaller, however I decided in
        favor of full names for journals rather than abbrev. because many users
        don't know what ICPP or IDCS stand for....,
        (5) not only can you search it, but you can use it with a filter or
        formatter like troff with reasonable reformatting results,
        stylistic considerations like whether author names should have
        initials or full names can be automated.

Contact points (not every Dept. is a CS dept). deliberate holes exist
in this list.  Don't ask, I won't tell unless you have a need to know.

Where?

HONOR SYSTEM: restrict copies to Pacific Standard/Daylight evenings or
weekends.  This is 20 MBs and we'd appreciate you not taking our bandwidth
during prime time.  For your institution's disk space sake, check with your
point of contact first. Minimize your copying.


# At this time. I am doing a major upgrade of the neural network literature.
# Because of this, the TM-86000 is offline, but if you want access, I will
# on email request put up an interim version for ftp.

See first:
        ftp://explorer.arc.nasa.gov/pub/parallel.bib/README

        ftp://explorer.arc.nasa.gov/pub/parallel.bib/NASA.TM-86000
And make certain that you take:
        ftp://explorer.arc.nasa.gov/pub/parallel.bib/copyright

A refer to bibTeX converter is available.

The best thing is that the point of contact can either ask me, or recopy
(check change dates) every few months.  Complete updated version get
placed there.
