CompSci 267 Project
Write a short (5-8 page) paper that summarizes the results of
your implementation/analysis of an advanced compression technique.
Your paper will give background (describe the problem, its motivation,
and approaches to its solution) and give some solution analysis
(absolute or comparative).
Suggestions of how one might obtain
some improvement would be great, and achieving actual improvement
would be wonderful.
Your project might be one or more of: a survey, a theoretical discussion
of aspects not covered in the literature, an analysis of your or
someone else's implementation, etc.
You should browse appropriate journals and conference proceedings
to consider candidate topics for this project.
I do maintain a small list of papers
that I am particularly interested in being considered by class students.
As a rule, I will not approve a proposed topic if it
has already been approved for someone else in the class.
Thus, there is some incentive for submitting your proposal
well ahead of the deadline.
Note that, besides the technical content,
clarity, structure, grammar, and spelling will also have an effect
on your grade.
View the evaluation form
that I will use in reviewing your project.
