The Research Report

Due: Feb 27 EoB 1800 CET on CMS 

As part of this seminar, you are tasked with producing a short research paper on the topic of the paper you are championing.

The paper should contain two elements:
(1) a survey of the topic that you've read, and (2) exploration of the future research directions identified during the reviewing process.

For the survey, you are expected to read more (related) papers that you find yourself. Its goal is to provide an overview of the state of the art to someone not familiar with the topic (e.g., other seminar members who have not reviewed the paper yet). In addition to the related work, we also expect you to reflect on the ethics considerations identified in the reviewing process. This survey part should take about 1/2 of the total paper.

For the research part, you should explore (theoretically and practically) the different future research directions that you (and the other reviewers) identified in the review process. We expect you to start a quantitative exploration identifying the viability of each direction.
Ideally, you would briefly compare the different directions and pick one to explore in depth. We’d be happy to discuss your proposal if you're not sure.

Overall, the report should be ~8 pages of the IEEE SP template: Papers must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper. All submissions must use the IEEE “compsoc” conference proceedings template. LaTeX submissions using the IEEE templates must use IEEEtran.cls version 1.8b with options “conference,compsoc.” (That is, begin your LaTeX document with the line \documentclass[conference,compsoc]{IEEEtran}.). See the “IEEE Demo Template for Computer Society Conferences” Overleaf template for an example. We are not aware of an MS Word template that matches this style.
