Class Presentation
The purpose of your presentation is for you to become familiar with a
particular topic of choice regarding embedded systems and present this
topic to the class using a PowerPoint presentation. You will need to
form groups of 2-3 students (you may not work alone) and identify a
topic you are interested in. Each student in the group will need to
read at least 1 paper on topic and present that paper to the class.
Presentation details
You will have 1 class period in which to present your topic papers. I
would expect a good presentation to include enough background information
(so you may need to do more research)
so that the audience can understand the purpose of the topic. You will
also need to cover the details involved in each paper.
Embedded System Topics
To help you to choose a topic, I am not going to give you a topics list, but
rather I am going to point you to the top embedded systems conferences. You
will need to find the websites for past offerings of these conferences
and look through the conference proceedings to indentify a topic and papers
of interest. If you find 1 paper that is interesting and are having trouble
finding related papers on that topic, you can always look at the related
work section of that paper and choose a referenced paper. Here is a list
of appropriate conferences, however, some of these conferences include
other topics as well as embedded systems. Try and stick within the
embedded systems papers
- CASES - International Conference on Compilers, Architecture, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems
- CODES+ISSS - International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis
- ISLPED - International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design
- SOCC - International SOC Conference
- LCTES - Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems
- DAC - Design Automation Conference
- FCCM - IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines
- DATE - Design, Automation and Test in Europe
- ICCAD - International Conference on Computer-Aided Design
- FPL - Field Programmable Logic and Applications
Deliverables
You will need to get your topic and paper selections approved prior to working
on your presentation. These components are due at least 2 weeks before
your scheduled presentation day but I urge you to submit your requests
early.
On the day before your presentation, you will need to email me your slides
as well as a list of possible test questions. Each member of the group
will need to submit 2 questions based on the paper that you are presenting.
I have two reasons for these questions. The first is that it requires
you to think about your papers at a different level. And second,
I will draw on these questions when creating the final so keep that in mind
when you create these questions. Remember, you want them to be fairly
high level and not focused on details but you don't want them to be too
trivial. A portion of your grade will be based on the quality of these
questions.
