Library Research Assignment
This assignment will require reading and summarizing at least two peer reviewed papers.Please see the attached file and use it as a template. It has the original IEEE conference paper format.
Good Luck!
Q&A
Can we pick any topics in algorithms? Or does it have to be related to the chapters covered so far.You can pick any topic you like in Algorithms.Peer reviewed papers has all the required content so are we supposed to further research on it and improve the content or just summarize the existing content in our own words?You will summarize it and write down what you learn from those papers.Do both papers need to be on similar topics or different topics?Similar topics might be better for comparison but not mandatory.Should i mention the peer reviewed topics title in my paper anywhere?Yes, you should cite include them in the references section of your paper.What would be the title of our paper be when we summarize 2 or more peer reviewed papers?Title is your choice, make sure it is related to the content.Can we summarize one paper and then the other?No. You will need to integrate material from both papers in your summary.
Research Paper COMP 5327 Advanced Algorithms Spring 2018 Abstract—This work presents description of a research paper and details it for the students in COMP 5327 Advanced Algorithms course at North American University. At least two peer reviewed papers should be summarized. All questions regarding your research paper can be directed at
[email protected]. Alternatively, you can use the discussion forum. Please write the abstract of your paper here. Keywords — Algorithms, research paper, efficiency, complexity, computer science (update these keywords) ·Introduction As given in syllabus of this course each member of the class should complete and submit at least two research papers during the semester. This paper provides all details about the research papers to be completed by each student. It is a research on a topic in algorithms and presenting all materials used, background, problem statements, design and techniques, and results. Add your introduction here. ·Mechanics ·Number of Students Each student will complete this project by himself/herself, and submit a unique report to the instructor. This is not a group project. ·Submission and Grading Based on discussion topics below, each student will prepare a research paper and submit it through NAU-Moodle. If submitted on time, each paper will be graded over 100. The papers will not be accepted after due date. ·Paper You will prepare a paper in IEEE conference paper template [1]. The document you are reading now is also prepared using the same template. A template is used to format a paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them [1]. Remember that 20% of your grade will be based on how much you follow given template in your report. You may use MS Word, Latex, or another kind of editor to typeset you project. In your report you can use tables and figures if necessary. Final submission should be in pdf format. ·Project Content It is highly recommended that you watch the content on the NAAU Distance Education website [2], especially library tutorials. You will find information about “How to access EBSCO database” and “How to find an article on EBSCO”. Please filter your results to show “Full Text” and “Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals”. We suggest you to start reading older research papers first. For example, one can find sorting algorithms, especially older ones, simpler and easy to understand. Current works tend to get more complex and usually combination and optimization of other previous algorithms. Your review should be no longer than three pages. Explain first, what you have learned about the subject area. Give examples. Do not summarize one paper and then the other, but rather, integrate the material from both. Do not forget to provide reference for each paper you summarize. Please change the section titles except introduction and references. ·Extra Points In this paper, each student is required to summarize and compare at least two different papers on same or related topics. You may optionally compare five. In this case, your submission will earn 10 extra points. ·Common Mistakes The project you will prepare is an academic product. You should edit it carefully. The format should be exactly match with the template given in [1]. ·Plan in advance. ·Prepare your paper on time. ·Submit before the deadline. ·Always use pronouns “we”, not “I”. Or third person like “the author(s)” ·Never use hard line breaks. ·Use grammar tools and spell checkers in the software you use. ·The instructor is not part of the study. You are the sole author of this study. Do not include name of instructor in your manuscript. ·References 1)http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html 2)http://www.na.edu/nau-distance-education/video-tutorials/, accessed on 2/13/16 3) 4)
