This section lists the anonymous ftp sites for technical reports from
several universities and other organizations. Some of the sites
provide only an online catalog of technical reports, while the rest
make the actual reports available online. The email address listed is
that of the appropriate person to contact with questions about
ordering technical reports. 

The main source of tech reports is now from Networked Computer Science
Technical Reference Library  or NCSTRL (pronounced "ancestral").
It's home page is: http://www.ncstrl.org/  
If that is a problem, you can go directly to:
http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu/


Other general locations for technical reports from several
universities include:

   ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/doc/techreports/ [128.252.135.4]
   cs-archive.uwaterloo.ca:/cs-archive/  (see Index for an index)
      AKA watdragon.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.140.24]

The uwaterloo archive includes tech reports from the Logic Programming
and Artificial Intelligence Group (LPAIG) of the University of Waterloo.

There is also a WAIS server containing tech report abstracts that can be
searched. To use, create the file ~/wais-sources/cs-techreport-abstracts.src 
containing
   (:source
      :version  3
      :ip-address "130.194.74.201"
      :ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
      :tcp-port 210
      :database-name "cs-techreport-abstracts"
      :cost 0.00
      :cost-unit :free
      :maintainer "wais@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au")
and invoke your local wais client. To add to it, email abstracts of
your papers to wais@rdt.monash.edu.au in the following format:
   %TI Title
   %AU Author (use multiple %AU lines for multiple authors)
   %PU Published In (citation information)
   %AV Availability (e.g., ftp ftp://reports.adm.cs.cmu.edu/1992/)
   %OR Organization (see cs-techreport-archives.src for institution codes)
   %LT Local title (e.g., tech report number)
   %DA Date (and, if you want, %MN Month, %YR Year)
   %AB Abstract
If your papers are not available by FTP, you can use a %AV line such as:
   %AV mail harry.bovik@cs.cmu.edu
Further instructions are available from
   ftp://daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au/pub/techreports/reports/  
[Based on a post by Ashwin Ram.]

A list of FTP sites for technical reports and papers can be found in
    http://www.rdt.monash.edu.au/tr/siteslist.html

A list of more than 230 sites publishing CS tech reports may be
obtained by anonymous ftp from

    ftp://ftp.rdt.monash.edu.au/pub/techreports/sites/

To receive notification of new tech report sites, send mail to
compdoc-techreports-request@ftp.cse.ucsc.edu to join the mailing list.

An archive of linguistics papers and preprints is available from
ftp://linguistics.archive.umich.edu/linguistics/papers/. Contact John Lawler
(jlawler@umich.edu) or linguistics-archivist@umich.edu for more
information.

The Concurrent Engineering Research Center (CERC) at West Virginia
University has placed ASCII versions of the concurrent
engineering-related abstracts (over 500) that were on CERCnet, ASCII
back issues of the Concurrent Engineering Research in Review journal
(now discontinued), and Postscript copies of CERC technical reports in
the gopher server gopher.cerc.wvu.edu.  In addition, many of the CERC
technical reports, including journal articles, symposium papers,
theses, dissertations, and issues of the Concurrent Engineering
Research in Review journal, are available as Postscript versions via
anonymous ftp from 

   ftp://babcock.cerc.wvu.edu/pub/techReports/ [157.182.44.36]

An index to all the reports, including some that are
available only in hardcopy, is contained in the file "CERC-TR-INDEX".
If you need additional information, contact Mary Carriger, CERC Office
of Information Services, at carriger@cerc.wvu.edu.

The newsgroup comp.doc.techreports is devoted to distributing lists of
tech reports and their abstracts.

      A full catalog of MIT AI Lab technical reports (and a listing of recent
      updates) may be obtained from the above location, by writing to
      Publications, Room NE43-818, M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,
      545 Technology Square, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA, or by calling
      1-617-253-6773. The catalog lists the technical reports ("AI Memos") 
      with a short abstract and their current prices. There is also a charge
      for shipping. Some recent tech reports (since 1991) are available in the
      ai-publications/ subdirectory; older technical reports are NOT
      available by ftp. A bibliography is in the bibliography/ directory.
