 Presentation

Two Students in a Group

Choose a paper on any topic in the course

content published in a reputed journal or
conference proceedings.
Show me the paper and take my approval.
You have to read, understand and present the
paper.
Use PowerPoint /Beamer for presentation.
 Presentation Format
Problem definition
Results of the paper
Contribution of the paper in respect to
previous results
Algorithms and methodologies including
proofs
Future works, open problems and your
idea
 Presentation Schedule
• Presentation time: 20 minutes
• Presentation will start from June 5, 2016.
 Paper Writing
Two Students in a Group
Choose a topic from the course content. Write a survey
paper for getting at most 85% marks of the item. You need
to add some new results to get full marks. Use LaTex for
writing the paper.

Reporting of Topic: June 26, 2016 (5 min presentation)

Submission Deadline of preliminary version: July 31,

2016.

Final Submission: September 04, 2016 (A hard copy with

all source files in a CD)
Compilation of Class Lectures
Each student will compile my class lectures one topic
using LaTex (I will assign) . You need to add necessary
figures for illustration. Xfig or Latexdraw is recommended
for drawing figures.
