A logarithm barrier method for semi-definite programming
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 42 (2008) no. 2, pp. 123-139.

This paper presents a logarithmic barrier method for solving a semi-definite linear program. The descent direction is the classical Newton direction. We propose alternative ways to determine the step-size along the direction which are more efficient than classical line-searches.
