A successful submission of your project will consist of three parts:

  1. Source code of your implementation along with instructions of how to compile and run your program.
  2. The input data you have used for your experiments in the right input format. For each input file you provide you should also submit the corresponding output file of your program.
  3. A description of your project (6 pages, two columns), specifying in detail your goals, approach, milestones, evaluation methodology and experimental results. A document that describes how you did your experiments and what are your obtained results.
  4. Project presentation (15 min per team + 5 min Q/A)

Send an email to Paris Iona with your preferences (e.g., P1, P3, P4, P2, P5) by 9 March. The assignment will be done by FCFS order.
