Project Final Report
Your final project report will be in the form of a workshop paper
submission. The paper should be 15-18
pages in length in the format provided (it is not very dense and figures take
up space, too!). Here is a template with
instructions.
Your target audience is students entering CSE477 (think of yourself at the
beginning of the quarter) that are going to build on your project. They
would need to understand why it is interesting, why your work will save them a
lot of time, and how to reconstruct your project.
It would be especially nice if tutorial information about specific devices
and/or interfaces and how to deal with them is placed in a separate appendix so
that it can be easily distributed to future students. I will give extra credit for a great job
on this.
Below is a basic outline of the report which you should use as a guideline.
Please do your best to cover all the points listed.
- Abstract. Short
description of your project, what you accomplished, and what conclusions
you were able to draw. Approx. 250 words.
- Introduction. Problem
description including a typical scenario of use. What problem does your
project try to solve? What is interesting or hard about this
problem?
- Related Work. What have
others done? What sources of information did you draw on?
- Approach. How are you
going about building your project? What are the main pieces?
Why did you choose these pieces?
- Implementation. What
was hard about getting things to work? Describe the choices you had
to make that were not obvious. What tradeoffs did you have to
consider?
- Evaluation. How well
does it work? Try to be as quantitative as possible and relate the
evaluation back to the scenario.
- Societal Implications. What impact would a project such as
yours have on society?
Consider any relevant subset of privacy, security, social
relationships, values, stress levels.
- Conclusion and Future Work.
What are the next steps to take and why? What lessons did you
learn? What would you differently next time?
- Acknowledgements. Who
helped you along the way this quarter?
- References. Papers,
magazine articles, data sheets, web resources that helped you understand
the issues. Make sure they are all cited in the body of the paper.
- Appendices. All the
material you would need to reconstruct your project: source code,
schematics, installation and configuration instructions, etc. (NOTE: this does not have to
conform to the format provided and can be completely in the form of web
pages, if desired).
