CSC2125:  Modeling Methods, Tools and Techniques

Winter 2018

Term Project


 

Description

 

Your project is worth 50% of your final grade.  There are several types of projects that can be carried out.  Projects can be done alone or in a team of up to two people (where the expectations would be higher).  Deliverables are:

 

·        A written report (no more than 10 pages in ACM conf. style)

·        A copy of any software developed as part of your project, documented using JavaDoc, and with a short (1 page) usage guide

·        In-class project presentation + demo (if applicable)

·        A copy of all case studies developed, if applicable

·        Completed MMINTuser experience form, if applicable

 

If your project is an open research problem, your report should include an introduction to and motivation of the research problem, a clear and concise discussion of related work, and descriptions of your methodology and results.

 

If you have done a development project you need to include an introduction to the relevant background – with citations, a description of the problem, description of the tool customization/development you have performed, some examples to demonstrate its behavior, description of results, insights and lessons learned. Your usage guide should explain how to build and configure the tools and how to run/repeat your case studies.
