• Specifications for the written proposals are as follows.
  • It should be about two pages pages long (single spaced).
  • It should have a tentative title (can be catchy)
  • There should be two parts to your proposal:
    • A concise description of the problem you want to solve or the question you want to address. Give a one sentence description first and then elaborate in the two or three paragraphs. Feel free to add diagrams if they help in explaining your proposal.
    • An initial review of prior work in your chosen area. Please use the web to locate papers and work in the area, and at least read the abstracts, in order to get a sense of the work that has been done. You also need to address how your work builds on the prior work or how it extends it.
  • References, i.e. resources that describe prior work.
  • The proposal must be spell-checked and use good grammar. In general, it is good style to write short sentences. Use paragraphs and sub-section headings where applicable.
