CIS 620 presentation format and schedule

Presentations should build on previous class material. If possible, try to use similar notation and formalism to that I use. The presentation should last 25-30 minutes, and be accompanied by slides or a handout with the main concepts, formulas, algorithms, and results for posting on the course site. You don't need to cover everything in the paper, just the main concepts and results and how they relate to previous class material. If you have questions about the paper(s) you have been assigned, contact me as soon as possible to discuss them. If you are in the list below by mistake (for example, you are not taking the class for credit), let me know as soon as possible. If you need move in the schedule for a good reason, let me know as soon as possible and no later than two weeks in advance so that I can rearrange the class schedule. The papers to be presented will be posted one week before the scheduled presentation.
