ECE/CS 658                                                                                            Spring 2014

Presentation

A requirement of ECE/CS 658 is a presentation covering a topic closely related to the course. The  presentation is expected to be 35 minutes long, but if you would like to, you may make a 70 minute presentation. 

E-mail  your presentation title  and a short summary (less than half a page) for approval to Anura.Jayasumana@colostate.edu  with subject line "ECE/CS658 Presentation" as early as possible, but not later than March 27. Include the names of your red team partner ( see below).  You may indicate the dates on which you are not available.

Lecture slots during the month of April/May are available for presentations.  Some of the presentations will be scheduled outside the regular class hours. To avoid multiple presentations on the same topic and time conflicts,  topics and time slots   will be allocated on a first-requested  first-served basis. 


Practice Session
Making effective presentations is an integral part of any career. A class presentation makes you learn the material in depth, and provides a good venue to practice your presentation skills.  A good presentation will require thorough preparation.  Others are going to spend time listening to you, therefore it is essential that you make a sincere effort to make it a fruitful experience for everyone involved. Identify the problem, assumptions, results, possible extensions, and most importantly your opinion of the work.
Form a team of one or more (Red Team) so that team members can critique each others presentations prior to the class presentation.  Red team members outside the class are ok as long as you have at least one member form the class. The Red Team should meet at least three working days prior to the class presentation, listen to the presentation  and help fine-tune the presentation.  Participation in a red team will earn points toward course participation as well.

Slides
The slides have to be your own original creations. You may use figures, tables, etc., from other sources, provided those are identified by the appropriate reference immediately following the figure/table.   In addition, include a list of all the references you relied on for the presentation in a slide entitled 'Bibliography.'

E-mail your slides (ppt) to the instructor two working days prior to the presentation. Instructor will make hard copies for distribution and/or make the presentation available over RAMCT.


Topic and Contents
The topic should be related to networking. A set of possible topics is given below, in some cases  with tutorial type papers.
You are welcome to propose a topic outside this list.
Your topic  should not be related to a presentation or a paper that you have done as a part of another course or an assignment.

Base your presentation on one or more recent papers covering the topic.   Tutorial papers on these and other topics can be found in  IEEE Communications, IEEE Wireless Communications, IEEE Network, IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials,  ACM Communications, ACM Surveys  and other similar publications available via sites such as  IEEE Xplore and  ACM Digital Library. You have full electronic access to IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library and many other resources via the Morgan Library.
