  • An assigned paper requiring roughly 50-200h of work by each student (7.5 ECTS)
  • Registration: Wednesday 28 September 2016 at 23:59, submit via Canvas or e-mail to maguire@kth.se with the subject: "IK2554 topic" giving:
    • Group members, leader.
    • Topic selected
  • Written report
    • The length of the final report should be 10 pages (roughly 5,000 words) for each student; it should not be longer than 12 pages for each student - papers which are longer than 12 pages per student will be graded as "F".
    • If there are multiple students in a project group, the report may be in the form of a collections of papers, with each paper suitable for submission to a conference or journal.
    • Contribution by each member of the group - must be clear (in the case where the report is a collection of papers - the role of each member of the group can be explained in the overall introduction to the papers.
    • The report should clearly describe: 1) what you have done; 2) who did what; if you have done some implementation and measurements you should describe the methods and tools used, along with the test or implementation results, and your analysis.
    • Final Report: written report due Friday 21 October 2016 + oral presentations individually scheduled during week 43 (24-28 October 2016).
    • Send email with URL link to maguire@kth.se and you must submit your Zotero RDF file or BibTeX file of references that you have used.
    • Late assignments will not be accepted (i.e., there is not guarantee that they will be graded before the end of the term)
    • Note that it is permissible to start working well in advance of the deadlines!
    • For graduate students the paper should be of the quality that it could be submitted to a conference - immediately following the course.
  • Oral presentations; Each group should present their results in 15 minutes or less. The presentation should not be more than 15 minutes, given the 20 minute time-slot this gives time for a couple questions and changing presenters. You only need to attend the part of the day that you give your presentation.

Note that the official syllabus in KOPPS says that the final report should be 7-8 pages and approximately 3,000 words for each student - hence this length specification takes precedence over the amounts given above.
