Research Project

The research project is designed to meet the majority of course objectives. As such, it represents a significant portion of your grade. You should take this process seriously and meet the time deadlines. Work which is not submitted by a deadline is subject to a score of 0.

For this project you are to select an topic of current research within Computer Science and perform in depth research on the current state of the art for that topic. This project will consist of a number of components which are described below.

All normal restrictions on plagiarism apply. The penalty for plagiarism or other violations of the code of conduct will be failure in the class and possible further sanctions.
