CSci 4511 - Writing 4

Writing 4 -- due Thursday March 22

This writing will be graded out of 10 points. It will count 3% of the grade. This is the first part for your project.
Write is a short proposal for your project and a report on any initial work you have done. The report should be around 500 words and should include:

team members. If two students work together on the same project you should submit a single paper with both names, indicating which parts each one wrote. A project with more than one author is expected to be longer to reflect the larger effort, and so the writing should also be longer.
a brief description of the problem you intend to address and why it is interesting,
the approach you will take to solve it,
the software you'll need to write or to use,
preliminary results (if any),
how you will evaluate your solution,
a timeframe for the work to be done,
bibliographic references to a few relevant papers (2 or 3).

Grading criteria: 60% for content (covers all the required parts, addresses relevant issues), 30% for writing style (good flow of ideas, clarity of writing, grammatical correctness and no spelling errors), 10% for using latex and bibtex.
