Both final projects in ICS 613 have the potential to become publishable research. The goal of this essay is for you to discuss what would need to done in order to get a publication from your project.
Your essay should cover the following:
What does your final project accomplish right now, as of the end of the semester?
What would be an appropriate venue(s) for publication? This could be a journal, a conference, or a workshop. It’s always preferable to find a few different places that would be interested in your project. In addition, as you research publication venues, you might discover new requirements for your project in order to make it attractive.
What functionality would need to be added to your final project in order for it to be interesting and appropriate for the publication venues you are targetting?
What kind of evaluation would you need to perform on the enhanced version of your final project? How would you gather data in order to discover the strengths and weaknesses of your project?
It is very reasonable for you to develop an outline of this essay as a group project, but each person should write the final draft of the essay individually.
The due date in the Schedule page is recommended, but not required. You do not have to submit this essay to Laulima, but I will be reviewing it as part of your final exam review. So please make sure it’s done by the time you finish your final exam assignment, and included in your professional portfolio.
