CPSC 503 Interm Report Due Date: 5 March 2007
This is a practice for your final report and should be as complete as you
can make it
at the time of writing.
You MUST use Latex for this assignment.
The final report will be a revised version of your interim report.
Try and make the report read like a scientific paper. Write it up by
describing the problem
you are solving, what others have done to achieve a solution and what you have
done.
Look at other scientific papers to give you an idea on the type of headings to
use.
Compare your results to those of previous papers and say why yours are
different/better/worse.
When you describe your solution be sure to give the details of algorithms and
data structures
you have used. Algorithms are usually best described as pseudo-code. Give
details
of any user-interface component and describe the design principles that you
have used.
You may not have too much in the way of results yet but at least describe the
kind of results
that you expect. In the final report you should also be able to comment
on the significance
of those results.
Make sure that you have read all you the references that you cite in the
bibliography, you could be asked
something about a cited paper in the final oral exam. Don't add
references in the bibliography unless
they are cited in the text. In fact Latex
/ Bibtex doesn't let you do that (although there are
ways...)
I may add a few more guidelines to this document - good luck.
