The goal of this assignment component is three-fold:

1. to familiarize you with skills on critically reading an academic paper,
2. to introduce you and your classmates an in-depth understanding of at least one piece of state-of-the-art research in software security, and
3. to schedule what features to add to LIBRA or Rusmart.

Details

We aim to have three paper presentations (20 minutes each) every week during our scheduled lecture hours. During the first week of class, we will collect everyone’s topic preference and assign the presentation slots accordingly. Each student will be assigned one slot.

Each presenter is free to choose the paper to present, as long as the paper satisfies the following requirements

• it is published in an accredited conference or journal,
• it is published after 2018,
• it is related to the topic of the scheduled week.

Grading

Grading of a paper presentation will be based on peer feedback. After each presentation, all attendees will evaluate the presentation on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) in HotCRP and the grade for this assignment component is simply the average score of the received evaluations.
