List of Projects
LITERATURE RESEARCH PROJECT
Each student is expected to get sufficient experience in literature research in the area of architectural synthesis of modern high-performance digital systems.
It is expected that associated part of the report will contain:
- Abstract and keywords
- General overview of selected area of research (background information)
- State of the art: major approaches and problems in the area
- Analysis of recent results presented in selected (by student) papers – from 3 to 5 journal or conference publications (web publications are not acceptable)
- List of references – from 10 to 15 publications briefly overviewed by a student during the paper selection process.
The topic for the literature research may be selected from the List of suggested topics (please see below) or proposed by a student.
Literature research part of the report should not exceed 5000 words or 10 double-space one-column pages including abstract, keywords, figures, tables, and the list of reference.
