You are to mail two files to to Prof. Scott by 11:59:59 p.m. on the due date. One file is a single pdf file that contains all your results (see Help on Creating pdf Files for tips on this). The other file is the filled-out survey, which can be submitted in Word or pdf format.

Read carefully the paper "Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits," by Gordon E. Moore, Electronics, Volume 38, Number 8, April 19, 1965. Then do the following exercises independently. Submit well-documented solutions in pdf format.

1. Write an abstract: After you finish reading the paper, describe in your own words the content of the article, limiting yourself to eight sentences. (Refer to the handout "Geological Notes" before doing this part.)
2. How many predictions were given in the introduction of the paper and how many have been fulfilled since?
3. Give two examples that prove the conjecture made in the paper true. Limit yourself to one paragraph for each example.
4. Using the INSPEC database, accessible from UNL Libraries' IRIS system, search for the journal papers on the Moore's Law made popular by this paper, since 1995. Submit the list as an appendix to your submission.
5. Using the Research Index (Citeseer), find five most recent papers (from any source: journals, conferences, or technical reports) that apply, evaluate, or extend Moore's Law. Submit the list in attachment to your solutions.
