You must not place yourself in a position of conflict of interest.  However,
reviewing work assigned by your advisor is not always inappropriate.  S/he
may be on a program committee with responsibility to find referees for some
segment of the submissions.  Asking you to contribute is evidence that you
have progressed professionally to the point that your opinions carry weight.

I sometimes give Ph.D. students manuscripts for conferences and journals 
for another reason.   Since they will be working professionals, reviewing 
will be part of their responsibilities later.  I go over their reviews with 
them, after having read the manuscripts myself, to help them learn how to 
review papers.  After the reviews are in good shape, they are returned 
under THEIR names so they will get the credit for the work.

Good reviewing work is a necessary, although minor, part of building
a strong professional reputation.  If your advisor hasn't already given
you the following paper:

   Alan Jay Smith, "The Task of the Referee," IEEE Computer, April
   1990, pp. 65-71.

then go get it for yourself.  It's excellent for computer science and
engineering, and the principles are  probably valuable for many other 
disciplines as well.

    You could probably start getting some applications to apply for the
Spring of 1994.   However, some schools offer only fall admission.
You should take exams, such as the GREs soon, if you have not already 
done so.   Applications for the Fall of 1994 should be available
by September, 1993.

I'm looking for information on the demand for business PhD faculty,
especially in marketing.  I was able to find several references for
the sciences, engineering and even humanities, but very little on
business.  Specifically, I am looking for:
	Trends--is demand growing or shrinking?
	Demand projections for 3-5 and 10 years from now.
	Demand breakdown by type of institution--top tier research
		universities, four year institutions with a 
		lib-ed/teaching emphasis, community colleges, etc.
	Descriptions of demand projection models.

Pointers to any such info on the net would be nice as well as journal
articles or recent books.  Even a pointer to which journals might
carry such articles would be helpful.  I live forty miles from the
library and can only make the trip once a week.  It would really help
me if I knew what to look for before I made the trip.  If anyone knows
anything off the top of their heads I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I'm a graduate student and I have a bit of a problem
with my advisor.  He gave me some papers to referee,
and these papers were submitted to a conference to
which I have also submitted a paper. The problem is
that these papers are very similar to the paper which
I submitted, and so they will be competing directly 
against my paper. I told him that I could not act as 
an impartial reviewer, and I asked to have someone else
review the papers, but he refused.  (He is also the
conference co-chairman).  He said that it was perfectly
acceptable for me to review the papers, but I don't believe 
him.  What do I do?  I was thinking of refusing to review
the papers by not submitting a report, and just let the
deadline slip.  Please respond by posting because this

Refuse.  I don't know about the way things work over there, but I and
two fellow students have refused our advisor several times, including
when he wanted us to grade one of his classes' final exams.  It is
better to face him than to face being called unethical by the rest of
the conference committee.

Most likely, it is your advisor's responsibility to ref the papers,
but he doesn't want to do the work, so he's passing it off on you, and
figures that his position as co-chair is sufficient to "uphold" this
decision.

Make sure you refuse publicly.  State it to your advisor and to the
committee.  And return the papers to your advisor as soon as possible.

(1) Could you have someone else read the papers for you, and just submit
a report under your own name?  Or under theirs, for that matter?

(2) Is there a "higher authority" you can appeal to -- another
conference organizer, department head, etc.?

It seems like if you let it slide, the deadline could just be extended
on you -- and it would also reflect badly on you in a way that perhaps
another method would not.

Good luck!  What field is this in, by the way?

 I highly recommend the position.  It's a great way to meet people, express

That a contract with the US military on a college campus can give the right
to the US military to physically and mentally abuse you and a contract with
a fraternity cannot give a fraternity that right.

Now that I have your attention -

Wanted   : Research Assistantship in Parallel Processing
Location : World

Having completed a BSc in Computing, I am now looking for a suitable
position, as Research Assistant in the field of Parallel Processing. Ideally
the position would commence with the academic intake of 1993 (ie.
September / October 1993).

As part of my BSc I completed work that involved the mapping of a
processing task (in this case a Neural Network for Character recognition) 
onto highly parallel architectures. This work studied the effect that various 
parallel architectures and methods of inter-processor communication had
on performance.

If possible I would like to continue this line of work, however I would also 
be interested to hear of related Parallel Processing opportunities that may be
available.

Geographic location is not a problem (although I do like good weather), with
preferences being English speaking countries (ideally being US,Canada,OZ,UK).

If you think that you may have a suitable position (or know a man that does),
please email me at the Internet address below (or alternatively by post at
address below), and I can arrange to forward you my CV.

Many thanks for any replies.

Chris
