CS838-1: Project Assignment

(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs838-1/project.html)

Mark Hill and James Larus

Fall 1996

The primary activity in this course is a research project, which should be comparable in scope to a conference paper. It should be 3-4 times the size and effort of a normal class project, as you can devote the entire course time to it. By contrast, most other course projects are done in the last month concurrently with lecture activities.

The project goal is for you and your partners to explore an aspect of Java or Java implementations deeply, so that (a) you learn more about doing research, and (b) teach the class and your professors something new. You will be graded on how well your team define a problem, surveys previous work, designs and conducts experiments, and presents your results. See the course page for possible topics. We recommend three partners (and require at least two) to provide you with experience in working with a team, which is valuable in research projects and product groups.
