CSSE-490: Project Proposal

• The due date for the proposals is Friday, January 14 at 5:00pm.

• Please work in groups of two to four.

• I am more interested in projects that apply SI to new areas, rather than projects that apply them to areas in which we know SI works. Nevertheless, if you feel that your approach in an area where we know SI works is better than existing approaches, or sheds new light on existing approaches, that would be great.

• Please keep a journal of your work on the project. When it comes to grading the projects, I am happy to rewards an A to projects in which team members worked hard on accomplishing their goals, but come to the conclusion that SI just does not work for their chosen domain.

• Your proposal should be about two pages long. It should have a tentative title.

• The most important aspect of your proposal is 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. Please include relevant references in your proposal.
