Project
Students can work in teams of two for the mini project and the final project. The final project is an open-ended research project that can target the design of reliable hardware or software systems. Projects dealing with evaluation of reliable systems using analytical models or measurements are also encouraged. Several project ideas and conference/journal links are listed below to help you get started.
The requirements for the project are:
- Intial project proposal
- Two presentations
- Mid-term Report: A short presentation to report on your initial progress including a critique of the literature.
- Final Presentation: Encompassing initial goals, results achieved, method/approach, major accomplishments.
- Final report
Project Team Signup
One member of each project team should signup for the team on Piazza.
