 * Things Micah should read
 - Wolpert Principles of development
 - A geneti switch Mark Ptashne
 - Really good for "Math types."
 - Uses geometry for proving things.
 - People unwisely consisdered it to kill off Neural Nets; In fact,
 it only shows the limitations of certain simple kinds of Neural
 Nets.
+* Representative Student Theses
+These are students where I played a large role in their
+education. Many of them represent compelling research directions
+that desperatly need to be extented by the next generation of
+researchers! As Minsky says, if you want to do something really new,
+go back to points in the past where there was a neat idea that never
+really caught on, and follow the path of that idea to see where it
+leads. A comprehensive list of all my student's works can be found
+at my [[http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/gjs.html][homepage]]. If you want to cite any of these papers, you can
+find bibtex citations here: [[./sussman-recs.bib]].
+In particular, here's two great ideas that seem extremely promising
+and have NOT been properly explored! You could be the first person
+to get them working!
+- Elmer Hung Paramater estimati(on in chaotic Systems (masters) +
+Athanassios Siapas : Global approach to parameter estimation of
+Chaotic Synamical sysstem
+- No one put enough effort into seeing if it worked.
+- Seems to allow for almost unlimited percision in measurement.
+- Initial results look very promising, with a =13 order of
+magnitude= improvement in measurement precision in a simple
+experiment.
+- You will win the Nobel Prize if you can get it to work, because
+you will revolutionize the way we do measurements.
+- Towards Intelligent Structures: Active Control of Buckling
+- By Andrew A. Berlin, 1994
+- Achieves a 10 fold increase in strength by actively eliminating
+vibrational modes.
+- Such a good idea; It's cool, short -- great!
+- No one's followed up on it!
+In historical order:
+- [[http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/6888][A System for Representing and Using Real-World Knowledge]]
+- By [[http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sef/][Scott Elliot Fahlman]], 1977
+- Basically the reason that the Connection Machine was later
+invented.
+- The Connection Machine
+- By Danny Hillis, 1981
+- Beautiful thesis, but it doesn't tell you anything you can
+really /do/ today.
+- A Circuit Grammar For Operational Amplifier Design
+- By Andrew Ressler, 1984
+- If you're an Electrical Engineering person.
+- ONTIC: A Knowledge Representation System for Mathematics
+- By David A. McAllester, 1987
+- Very hard, very deep.
+- You will need to know a lot of Math.
+- KAM: Automatic Planning and Interpretation of Numerical
+Experiments Using Geometrical Methods
+- By Kenneth Man-Kam Yip, 1989
+- Coolest PhD thesis ever!
+- Solve problems using graphs.
+- So cool!
+- Botanical Computing: A Developmental Approach to Generating
+Interconnect Topologies on an Amorphous Computer
+- By Daniel Coore, 1999
+- Interesting to programmers especially.
+- Programmable Self-Assembly: Constructing Global Shape using
+Biologically-inspired Local Interactions and Origami Mathematics
+By Radhika Nagpal, 2001
+- Also Interesting to programmers.
+- Cellular Computation and Communications using Engineered Genetic
+Regulatory Networks
+- By Ron Weiss, 2001
+- Third in a line of bio-papers which should be highly interesting
+to programmers.
+- [[http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/6082][An Algorithm for Bootstrapping Communications]]
+- By Jake Beal, 2001
+- Seems like it could be "the right thing" for how modules in the
+brain learn to talk to each other.
+- Someone should expand on this work!
+- Also a PhD thesis from Beal on this: [[http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/38483][Learning by Learning to
+Communicate]], 2007
+- Games, Puzzles, and Computation
+- By Robert Aubrey Hearn, 2006.
+- Propagation Networks: A Flexible and Expressive Substrate for
+Computation.
+- By Alexey Andreyevich Radul, 2009
