more hints about preparing a paper.

From the information about USENIX submissions.
In a good paper, the authors will have:
-
attacked a significant problem
-
devised an interesting and practical solution
-
clearly described what they have and have not implemented
-
demonstrated the benefits of their solution
-
articulated the advances beyond previous work
-
drawn appropriate conclusions
For this project the emphasis will be on the idea and
the methodlogy used to determine and/or argue whether or not this would
be a good avenue for research.
See the advice provided for writing a thesis and
use the hints provided there when doing and writing
up your project.
A Simple Approach to Thesis Writing
IMPORTANT: before submitting in your paper,
- Proofread it carefully and correct all of the mistakes that you find.
- Then do it again, and again, and again.
- Then have a friend read the paper to look for mistakes.
- Then repeat from the top until you are pretty certain that
the writing is in clear and correct English and that there aren't
any typos and
smelling spelling mistakes :-)
Project/Paper Submission
-
This is an absolute and hard deadline.
No extensions. Anything recieved late will receive a grade of 0
(no exceptions).
This simulates conference submission deadlines.
-
Create a file with the name XXX.pdf where XXX is your project id
(which you can find elsewhere on this web page).
That file must contain the project paper you are submitting.
-
Email file XXX.pdf (where XXX is your project id) to me as an attachment.
-
The subject line MUST read
Subject: 854 Project
This will allow me to easily save each project submitted
so they can later be obtained for reviewing.
Review Submission

There are M projects.
You will each be required to review N projects
(including your own project).
