Homework (due April 10 beginning of class)

You are required to write a survey paper on any  topic that has been discussed in class. The survey paper should summarize the research in 5-10 papers on a particular topic. You should also include your own commentary on the significance of the approach and the solutions presented in each paper. You might even include a discussion on future research directions.

Look to the papers (6, 10, 12, 14) for guidance on style, content and format.

Typically survey papers are about 6 pages long. You may include illustrative pictures and tables.
