COMP 465W: Software Engineering

Research Project Guidelines

November 8, 2015

Sources:

· Chapters that we did not cover in class (10, 19, and 21),

· SEI digital library of papers, technical reports, etc., available at http://resources.sei.cmu.edu/library/ ,

· Any other source, upon my approval.

What to do:

· Select a chapter, technical report, white paper, etc., that interests you and that deals with topics that we have not discussed in class. Aim at about 30 pages of source material.

· Submit it to me for approval (please note – “first come first serve”: a topic claimed by one team becomes unavailable for other teams).

· Study the material.

· Prepare a one-page write-up summarizing the material. Present the topic in class (18 - 20 minutes).

Grading:

You will be graded on quality of the report and presentation. This includes clarity and ability to capture the most important issues.
