CSE 4215/5431 Term paper instructions

This project will be a critical review of 2-3 papers you will be assigned. The papers will be on the same general topic and will usually be different solutions to the same problem.

The questions your project will address are:

  1. what are the contributions of each paper?
  2. keeping in mind the specific requirements of mobile networks, what is the quality of the solution(s) proposed in the paper?
  3. under what circumstances is each algorithm more useful?
  4. are there any drawbacks that you see with each algorithm, and do you have any ideas for addressing the shortcomings?
  5. is the experimental evidence in each paper convincing to you? (Give reasons and/or suggestions).
  6. are the analyses in the papers convincing to you? (Give reasons and/or suggestions).
You should submit a report of 3-5 pages using no smaller than 10 point fonts and no larger than 12 point fonts. If you wish to include references they do not count towards this page limit.

The report should not regurgitate text from the papers, and it should be a critical review. The writing should be coherant and in the style of normal scientific text. Feel free to include mathematical formulas if you desire.
