CS 268, Spring 2002: Course Project
You will divide into teams of up to three (preferable two) to carry out
the term project. Your term project can be either of the following types:
design/implementation, measurement, analysis, and simulation. The goal of
the project is to experiment with new research ideas and solutions.
You should aim for a conference quality work.
I will distribute a list of possible research projects in class. However,
you are encouraged to come up with your own project ideas.
Once you decide on your project, you will be asked to write a one
page project proposal that should clearly state:
- the problem you are solving
- motivations (if this is your own idea) and challenges; why is this
problem important and difficult?
- your proposed solution or approach and why it's new,
- your plan of attack with milestones and dates, and
- any resources you might need so we can take care of this early on
in the semester.
I will provide written feedback on the project proposals either via email
or in person. Feel free to drop by office hours to discuss and develop your
project ideas further.
Note that in addition to writing the report and giving the final
presentation, you will be asked to give a ten minute
presentation before the spring break about the status of your
project. This talk should not exceed seven minutes, with three minutes
for comments and questions.
