Topic confirmation by 23rd of September 2014

To confirm a topic send me balaji(at)ut.ee an email where you tell me the topic and a supervisor.

Initial research plan by 19th of October 2014

A research plan is a 3-4 page long PDF file with the full problem description and initial research plan. By reading it it should be clear what is the problem you are trying to solve, what kind of methods you are trying to apply and it should contain a clear criterion for the success.

First draft by 23rd of November 2014

This draft should be 80% feature complete so that your fellow students could review it and give a useful feedback. It should be 6-10 page PDF file that contains all your findings and initial results of your experiments.

Final report by 21th of December 2014

The final report should be written using The offical ACM Proceedings Format. The length of the report should range from 6 to 10 pages. If you have really large illustrations then the report can be longer. Please add a subtitle "Limited access" if you report is not public by default and mention it also in the letter. Note that document templates exist for LaTeX and Word! For Lyx fans there is also a Lyx template. Please submit the final report as a PDF file. If your work is confidential then add subtitle restricted access so that I could not guess it. If you worry that Google indexes your work, then do one of the following:

Make the PDF binary (remove easily extractable text) Print the work out and scan it in without OCR All non-confidential works will be made downloadable in the course page

Presentations 5th - 19th December 2014

There will be three presentations per day. You have 30 mins for oral presentation + 10 mins for questions. You are strongly advised to finish your presentation in the given time.
