Expectations

2.

Read relevant paper(s) on 

the topic

3.

Write a technical report demonstrating your understanding of the paper(s)

4.

Submit the report by the deadline Requirements

To help prepare you for writing technical documents in the future, you will write your project 

paper in a simplified ACM format with one column, fully justified text. The simplified ACM template is 

provided on myleoonline in the project module. Your reportshould be approximately 5-6 pages

, 

mimicking a research paper. Your report will basically contain the following sections (which can be

 Describe your understanding of the main contributions  of the topic you are  reporting on: what was done, how it was done, how it works, etc. Provide architectural diagrams, charts, and figures where necessary with proper citation.

•

Experiment Results/Observations

: Depending on the topic you are reporting on, you mayneedto include a description of the experimental setup (if included in the original paper you are reviewing). Aim to be concise and utilize graphs to show any improvements. Include a summary of results analysis: what the results mean and the trends  that are revealed

.
