Description
Objectives:
•? Identify the key areas of research in Computer Science
•? Make use of existing evidence appropriately
•? Establish a new research to contribute to the existing work
Deliverables:
• The PowerPoint should include various media elements such as audio, video, images, links,
animation etc. You can record audio into your PowerPoint presentation.
•? Include pictures, graphs, code snippets that you wrote in the presentation.
??????•? You will graded based on the research work and the presentation.
Topics: Any area in Cloud Computing, distributed computing, parallel computing, Computer architectures, Operating System and P2P computing.
Phase I: Project proposal guidelines 15 Points
Project proposal should be one to two pages long in an essay style and should include following:
Title of the project, Group member’s names.
Why did you choose this topic?
What is the main research question?
What are the key ideas/ concept behind the project?
What are the resources you have used and why did you choose those? (List all the resources you have used) Resources should be from IEEE, ACM or listed under Google Scholar.
What are some of the related areas of research under the topic you have chosen? (Different then what you are doing)
Phase II: Research paper (25 Points) and presentation (10 Points)
- You have to write a research paper based on the project proposal you have provided.
Make sure to use IEEE paper formatting.
The paper should have following sections:
Abstract: Summary of contributions and/or results you have observed
Introduction: Provide background of the topic and tell briefly what you did based on the content you have listed in later sections.
Background or Literature review: List the sources you have used and what are the key things you have observed. Also list how it relates to what you are doing and how your approach is different (Not needed for a survey paper).
Problem Statement: Briefly describe the problem that you want to work on.
Proposed work: (Can be done in one or multiple sections) Write about your contributions,
advantages, disadvantages, experiments if you have done any.
Conclusion: Write a brief summary of what has been presented.
