Preliminary Proposal:

- 5 pages (double-column, 9pt on 10pt baseline)
- Due: 5pm, 3/4

- Format:

    - Introduction: 
         * statement of problem
	 * background

    - Motivating Example(s) 

    - Approach
         * setup
	 * proposed strategy
	 * architectural diagram, algorithms

    - Experiments/Proofs
         * proposed setup
	 * details about expected results

    - Related Work

    - References

While there are no specific page limits on each of these
sections, I would expect to see:

(a) at least 5 references and related work providing some
explanation about each of them.

(b) a motivating example, accompanied by either code or
a figure, that introduces the problem in a form accessible
to the reader without having to understand the solution.

(c) the approach section introduce your methodology via
an architectural diagram or algorithm, along with a detailed
explanation.

(d) more details about the experiments such as specific
characteristics (e.g., how many experiments, their composition and
features, specifics about expected results, etc.)
