Write a research survey paper on a relevant topic. Surveys should be
comprehensive, well organized, and self-contained.
Although your source papers will probably use different
terminology and notation, your survey must be internally
consistent throughout.
In preparing your survey, you should identify important connections
and similarities in the related work, and you should use
your observations to organize and structure your presentation.
A survey that is constructed by simply gluing together a
sequence of short summaries of others' papers is not acceptable.
Rather, your survey should provide
significant added value above and beyond the source material.
Another way to add value is to create a common, running example
that is chosen to clarify the
relationships and distinctions among your source papers.
Write in your own words and use proper attribution where
necessary. Do not
plagiarize your sources!
The only deliverable for a survey project is the survey paper
itself. The maximum length of the survey paper is
12 pages.
Survey projects must be done individually.
