Fall 2005



Project

A major component of 6.829 is a term project that incorporates some networking research. You can either pick from our suggested list and build on it, or come up with your own ideas and run them by us.

First read these project logistics. Next, check out the list of suggested projects. You will need to get an MIT certificate to read these files. Please do not place a copy of the suggestions list anywhere else on the Web. Thanks!

You might find the projects done in previous years useful.

Here are list of resources you might find useful while doing your project.

Schedule for project meetings on Thursday (9/22) is posted here.

Final Project Papers

Your final project report should be a maximum of 10 pages (11 point font, two-column format), including all appendices, references, and figures. Your paper MUST include citations in some reasonable format (e.g., ACM, IEEE, etc.). We will only accept papers in PDF format. If you are creating your report in LaTeX (recommended), you can use the following template files if you like: example.tex, IEEEtran.cls, IEEE.bst.

You should submit your paper online on the 6.829 Stellar website (you'll need an MIT certificate to access the site). Click on "Homework", then "Final Project Paper" (or here is a direct link), and then "add submission". Only one person per group should submit the final report. It is due by 3 p.m. on Thursday, December 15th. You may submit multiple versions -- we will grade the last submission timestamped before the deadline.

We also request that you upload your presentation slides to this website, either in PPT or PDF format. Click on "Homework" and then "Presentation slides" (direct link).
