eLearning Go to: http://eLearning.utdallas.edu eLearning has a discussion group that can be used for
project and other course discussions. I do not check eLearning email or discussions often. Please use [email protected] for all
clarifications & questions. You can use eLearning discussions among yourselves.

Programming Projects No copying/sharing of code/results will be
tolerated. Any instance of cheating in projects will be reported to the University.
Understood: you will need to use open software from the web or other sources.
Must: Declaration of all codes from open software or the
Internet. Explicit identification of your efforts in the projects.
Deadlines will be strictly followed for projects submissions.
Projects submissions through eLearning. Demo needed
B. Prabhakaran 7
Projects Typically, programming projects implementing application of
your interest. Mostly individual projects Projects involving 2 persons (no more than 2) should be
sufficiently complex. Each person’s role should be clearly “visible” Preferably overlapping topics: e.g., metadata + index
structures, index structures + query language, etc. Types of Projects:
Programming Projects: Typical expectation MS and most PhD students
Algorithms/Theory Projects: Perhaps, PhD students doing research in a particular topic
Combo Projects: Algorithms + Programming Perhaps, a team of 1 PhD + 1 MS student

Projects .. Reasonable expectation from my side No need for research paper or technical report at
semester end. I encourage you to develop it as a portfolio
project One that can go onto your Resume/CV
Enough support will be provided by me and the TA and my PhD students.
Several resources will be provided Open software Research papers Lab facilities Discussion time
B. Prabhakaran 9
Projects .. No restriction on programming language or operating
system TA and I will be available for discussions related to
your project Your responsibility to learn the language and/or the
operating system Don’t use the project to learn a new
language/platform. Don’t ask TA or me to debug your program!!
Project topics: Suggestions will be given by me next week. You are encouraged to come up with your own
interesting topic.
B. Prabhakaran 10
2-Track Course Considering diverse nature of possible
projects Project discussions will be mostly one-on-one During office hours or by appointment
Class room discussions will be mostly on various techniques and approaches for multimedia systems.
B. Prabhakaran 11
Home works Approximately 2-3 assignments Each assignment
Short questions on Theory discussed in class Programming resources available for the topic May need at most couple of hours effort
Can be turned in using eLearning Email Print outs
B. Prabhakaran 12
Evaluation Project -- 60-65%
For “depth” – in one or two focused areas 15% -- Initial design document (3 – 5 pages)
2nd or 3rd week 20% -- Mid-term update (6th – 7th week)
Show progress in programming Identify troubles or difficulties Outline completion schedule/steps 2-3 minutes presentation might be needed.
25% -- Final demo + documentation 5 minutes presentation might be needed
Homework -- 10-15% For “breadth” 2-3 home works. To “ensure” awareness in topics other than your project topic.
Exam – 25% For “breadth” “Simple” but thought-provoking questions
B. Prabhakaran 13
Schedule Home works will be announced in class and on
course web page. Along with their due dates
NO announcements on web-ct. Only project or home works uploads.
Projects schedule (as discussed earlier) 2nd or 3rd week – Initial design document (3 – 5 pages) 6th or 7th week – Mid-term update End semester – Final demo or presentation Early finish of projects allowed, if needed by you.
Exam Last week of class or per UTD schedule.
