Here is the format we'd like you to use for your project proposal.  

Write a 2-3 page proposal that describes:

1) The problem you plan to study
   a) Be specific!!!
2) Why you think it's important
   a) you should want to read this paper because...
3) Related work you have found so far
4) What you plan to do including:
   a) specific milestones you will achieve;  these serve as a
      baseline -- something that is evaluate-able, but not very
      impressive.
   b) specific milestones you plan to achieve
   c) specific milestones you could achieve if things go incredibly well
      and you find yourselves ahead of schedule;  this is the list of cool
      things you could do building on the accomplishments of a + b.


Examples of specific milestones include: do a thorough
literature survey of the problem, write code implementing A,B, C,
run experiments X,Y,Z to measure 1,2,3, or analyze/prove the performance
of system XX.

Your project will be graded as follows:

10% project proposal
10% status report
10% in-class presentation
70% final paper broken down as:
    10% motivation/originality
    20% clarity of paper presentation
    20% thoroughness of evaluation
    20% analysis of related work


Remember your project grade is 70% of your overall CS 264 grade.

See you in class!
