Projects

Final projects should seek to answer a research question through implementation of a new idea in a real system. This could take one of several forms:

You may work on projects individually, or in groups of two to three students. Your project deliverables include a proposal, a progress report and poster presentation, a final paper describing design and implementation, your code, and a presentation I will post the final presentation and writeup to the course website (unless you explicitly want it kept confidential for a good reason).

Important dates

Project proposal

Please use the OSDI 2018 submission template. Your proposal should be a one-page summary of what your idea is, how you plan to go about investigating it, and what techniques you will apply (or need to learn about beyond the course material).
