Project Information
Important Dates (Tentative)
-
Papers Due: Thursday, November 29, 11:59 pm eastern (i.e., 1 minute before midnight)
(Late papers will not be accepted)!
This is just like a conference submission. 1 minute late and the system
will not accept the submission.
The submission deadline is an absolute and hard deadline because
this simulates conference submission deadlines.
You can submit more than once, the last submission will be used
so be sure to submit well before the deadline.
-
Reviews Due: Wednesday, December 5, 11:59 am (i.e., 1 minute before noon).
-
Program Committee Meeting, Friday, December 7 10:00 am - 12:20 pm
Paper Requirements
-
Papers must be submitted in pdf format.
-
Length: 6 pages maximum including all figures, tables and graphs
but not references.
-
This is an absolute maximum.
Papers longer than this will not be
considered (i.e., receive a grade of 0).
Again, this is to emulate a conference submission.
-
Papers must be formated using the templates at this site for preparing your paper
Paper Requirements
Be sure to see the information also available on that page for
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
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
NOTE: That I will likely use HotCRP or Easychair to organize
the submissions
so more information on submissions will be available later.
Reviews and Review Submission
-
There will be M projects.
You will each be required to review N projects
(including your own project).
Review forms will be available later on
the class conference web site.
Review submissions will also be done using
an the online reviewing system (more instructions later).
