Project Update 1
Below is a basic outline for this first update. Remember to keep your status
and abstracts (as well as the rest of your project web) as up to date as you
can. This update should be entered
entirely on-line. You only need to
let me know it is ready for me to read by Friday. Links to the proposal and this update
should be easy to find from your front page.
- Project abstract update
A one paragraph description of the project and
why it is should be useful to someone.
- Project scenario
storyboard
A more detailed scenario that highlights how the product will actually be
used by and end-user.
Approximately 2 page.
- Elements you need
Have you obtained all the components/platforms (hardware and software)
you'll need? If not, why not and when do you expect to receive them? What
will be the expected total cost of the project?
Approximately .5 pages.
- Experimentation
What experiments are you running to make sure
your implementation ideas will work (e.g., what smaller pieces can you
build first to give you confidence with the parts you are least sure
about)? List all of your unknowns, that is, what you don't currently know
how to do. For each unknown describe the approach you will take to
resolving the issue, e.g., experimentation, searches, readings. What is
your backup plan if you are not able to resolve each unknown.
Approximately 2 pages.
- Construction and Debugging
Plan
How do you plan to construct your project? How
will you test it as it comes together? Have you thought about a debugging
strategy? Are you starting with smaller pieces you can test more easily?
Be as specific as possible. Describe, using a timeline, when each piece
will be done, which pieces will be worked on in parallel, what are the
major milestones.
Approximately 1 pages.
- Related work
What are the most relevant pieces of related work
you have found for your project.
Give a short two-three sentence summary of each (there should be
about 3 or 4).
Approximately 1 page.
- Appendices
- Initial design
diagrams/schematics
- Division of labor
