PSU CS 510 CS Final Presentation
March 15, 6:00-9:00PM

CS 510 CS students are expected to be able to locate, understand, and present relevant literature. To this end, you are expected to:

1. Locate a technical paper which is relevant to the course and of interest to you.
2. Prepare 6-12 overhead transparencies explaining
   • The ideas contained in the paper, at a sufficiently high level.
   • The relevance of these ideas to the course material, and vice versa.
   • Your evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of this work.
3. Present these slides in class at Portland State University during the last class meeting. You will be allowed a maximum of 20 minutes for the talk, plus a few minutes for questions.

Please choose a paper by Wednesday, March 7, and send me by e-mail either the bibliographic reference or the actual paper. Possible sources of paper topic include

• Bibliographies from things I have already given out.
• CS bibliography web sites such as ResearchIndex or the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies.
• Ask me for ideas (but not titles).
• Things I have talked about in class.
• Things you are doing at work, in your other classes, or for fun.

You will need to make an appointment with me to go over your talk once you have a draft of your presentation ready. This should not take more than half an hour or so. Send me e-mail to make this appointment. If you need help putting your presentation together, please let me know: I am happy to help out in any way I can.

I hope this will be fun for you and informative for all of us!
