Homework

Each team needs to submit a list with names of each person on the team, the subject area of their projects, and the paper that each person in the team is going to read. This needs to be done by October 1, 2007. Presentations will be around October 15 and will be around 10 minutes long.

Each team needs to submit a one page project proposal. It should tell us what problem you will focus on and what you will be doing for the problem. What is the big question? How would one go about answering the question? The approach, methodology, tools and the possible answers. Why one would care? This is due by Friday November 2 by noon
