COLLECTION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE BIBLIOGRAPHIES

A collection of bibliographies in various fields of computer science is available via anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web.

The bibliographies contain about 260,000 references, most of which are references to journal articles, conference papers or technical reports.

The collection has been formed by using various freely accessible services in the Internet (anonymous ftp, mailserver, wais, telnet) and converting each bibliography into a uniform BibTeX format.

It is organized in files containing references to a (more or less) specific area within computer science. All files containing bibliographic data are compressed with gzip (extension ".gz").

The bibliographies are accessible via WWW:

  • Germany
  • Germany
  • University of Manitoba
  • Carnegie Mellon

    Please read the introduction in that document. There you also find hints on how to search the bibliographies.

    via FTP:

  • ftp.ira.uka.de[129.13.10.90]:pub/bibliography
  • ftp.cs.umanitoba.ca:pub/bibliographies

    Please read the README file in that directory

    To retrieve files from the ftp server type (alternatives in parentheses):

  • ftp ftp.ira.uka.de (ftp 129.13.10.90)
  • ftp (anonymous)
  • (your mailaddress)
  • cd pub/bibliography
  • get README
  • ...
  • quit

    Please choose the site closest to you.

    Here are some statistics on the database:

    Table 1 : This table shows the number of references for each area within computer science and the number of those references which contain abstracts or keywords.
