CS 858 Project

Overview

Projects should undertake novel research in the area of mobile privacy and security and may lead to workshop/conference submissions.
Projects should ideally be done in groups of two. If you strongly prefer doing a project individually or in a larger group, send email to the instructor explaining your reasons.
Project proposals should be emailed as a PDF to the instructor by Oct 10. These should be no more than two pages that succinctly describe what you plan to work on, the form of results you hope to have by the end of the term and and some related work in the area.
Project presentations will be on Nov 30 and Dec 5.
Project writeups should be emailed as a PDF to the instructor by Dec 11. The report should be formatted using one of the ACM templates (option 1 for LateX users). The report should not have more than 10 pages, excluding the bibliography. Appendices are permitted (e.g., for questionnaires) and do not count towards the page limit, but you should not expect the reader to read them.

If you are planning on running a user study for your project, please speak with the instructor about ethics requirements. Please contact the Office of Research Ethics if you have additional questions.
You also need to complete the TCPS2 tutorial before you can start your user study. This tutorial provides mandatory human research ethics training.

I strongly suggest writing your course project report using LaTeX. It is the de-facto tool in which most CS research papers are written.
You should strongly consider using either Subversion or Git to perform source code control for your project and the paper you write describing it.
