ESE papers by the Softlang Team

Disclaimer: Given the profile of the Softlang Team, the following papers do not even nearly cover ESE adequately. While the course aims at general coverage of ESE as far as lecture material is concerned, the labs and assignments may be biased towards Softlang interests.
