Please turn in a hard copy at the class and upload an electronic copy through CSNS. The electronic copy must be in PDF or MS Word format.

The project report should follow the general format we discussed in class. At this stage your implementation may not be complete, but you should be able to write, in details, about the motivation and significance of the your project, the technologies used and/or the related work in the field, the overall architecture and design, and the problems encountered and the solutions developed during your implementation so far.

The report must meet the following requirements:

At least 6 pages, excluding cover page, references, and appendices.
Size 12 font, 1.5 line spacing, 1 inch margin on each side.
Focus on your work. Descriptions of other people's work (e.g. the technologies you used) should not exceed 25% of the report.
When you do need to write about other people's work, summarize, do not copy&paste.
Always cite your sources.
