The
project report needs to be formatted as a research paper describing the
following in detail.
- What is the problem you are
addressing and your goals for the project ?
- Why is your work
interesting or unique ?
- Is your work novel or
are there prior works that share a significant amount of similarity?
How does your solution differ from prior effort ?
- What are the main
contributions of your work (typically 2-3 main contributions need to be
elucidated!) ?
- What was the research
methodology you have followed ? Did you design a new system ? Or,
evaluate an existing one ? Are you simulating a new algorithm ? What
are the metrics for evaluation ?
- What evaluation and
experimentation have you conducted ? What were your goals ? What did
you expect your evaluation and experimentation methodology would
confirm or find ? Did you end up validating the expected or, did you
have new observations or unexpected results ?
- References need to be
formatted just as a regular research paper.
Please use the IEEE
tran format that can be downloaded here.
Format it as a double column report on a 10pt font which is the typical
for several major conferences such as Infocom. Please spell out the
author names and affiliations just as a regular research paper. The
following sections are required in the paper.
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Related Work
- System/Algorithm
Overview and description
- Evaluation
Methodlogy and Results
- Future Work
---> COMPULSORY to list all the things you would have loved to do if
you had more time to finish.
- Conclusion
- References
- Please also
attach an appendix that describes the software that you have used.
(Some level of detail for future users would be beneficial). Think
somebody who can follow up on your work and try to make it easy for
them to continue your work.
- Attach a tar.gz
file with a readme about how to compile/use your simulation platform.
Again, think about somebody who can take your work and continue working
on it. If you have obtained special software, then please attach them
as well. If you have fixed some bugs on existing software, please state
that too.
