Research Project
Proposal
You must submit your project proposal as a 1-2 page PDF. I recommend using LaTeX to format your proposal; try using Overleaf for collaborating amongst your group. You must include the following sections:
- Team - List all team members.
- Goal - What is the goal of the project? Be as specific as you can. What problem(s) do you wish to address in your project? What work has already been done in the area, and how is what you'd like to do different? Cite sources where possible.
- Relevance - How is the project relevant to parallel and distributed systems? Which concepts and techniques from the course will you need to apply to complete your project?
- Methods - What exactly do you plan to do? Again, be as specific as possible. What (if any) software do you plan to modify? What (if any) software do you plan to write from scratch? What parallel technologies or languages do you plan to use? Cite sources where possible.
- Possible Roadblocks - What are the obstacles that you anticipate running into? Will your project require any special software or hardware? How do you plan to overcome these issues?
- Mid-Project Deliverable - What do you plan to submit as your mid-project deliverable? What are the criteria or the rubric by which I should evaluate it?
- Showcase - How do you plan to present and/or demo your project at the showcase? Do you anticipate needing any special equipment besides a poster board?
- Final Deliverable - In addition to your report, what do you plan to submit as your final deliverable? What are the criteria or the rubrics by which I should evaluate it?
