Reports and Code

Submission: Submit your reports and code to me via email.

Proposal: Your project proposal should describe what you plan to do, why it is interesting, how you plan to do it, and what you are not sure about. Also describe what resources you think you will need to carry out the project (e.g., VMs, datasets). The end product of the proposal is a crisp problem statement.

Checkpoint #1: Your checkpoint report should describe your progress on achieving the goals you included in your proposal. Clearly explain any changes you have made to the goal of your project based on your experience so far. You must include results and experiences of preliminary studies (e.g., small-scale measurement results, code hacking, and prototype efforts).

Checkpoint #2: Similar as Checkpoint #1. And what's more, you must include your protyped systems and early evaluation results.

Final paper: Your final paper should be written like a research paper you read in class.

Code: You can host your code at GitHub or BitBucket, and send me the link. It is ok if you want to keep your code confidential, but please talk to me explicitly.

Paper/report format: Please format you reports and papers with the new USENIX paper template (2019 conferences). Your report has a page limit of six pages with unlimited appendix.
