CmpE 583 Web Semantics (Fall 2007, Atilla ELÇİ) FINAL TAKEHOME EXAM TOR Reference the topic assigned to you, write a paper reporting your review, development of ideas and findings on/around the subject. Any references I provided on your topic are for your guidance or starting point only; you are welcome to interpret the intent of the subject in a coherent manner. Please check your topic immediately, try finding alternate sources through authors’ web site or other and contact me if you have persistent problems. - - - - - Your review may be one of the following three kinds which shall be explicitly indicated in the title of your paper (such as “A survey paper on …”): o Survey paper: reviews the topic, covering relevant references but does not express explicit personal opinion or judgment o Position paper: 3-4 pages of survey followed by personal evaluation, indications of research directions, and other educated- but purelypersonal opinion o Evolved paper: 2-3 pages of review followed by a project idea and development of it complete with design, development, smoke test, and findings. Hint: time is a serious constraint for this alternative. In any case, of your topic, your review work should cover definitions, measures, advantages, uses, tools, approaches (applications), and examples as appropriate. It’s better to use these or similar section headings instead of generic headings such as ‘Introduction’, ‘Conclusion’, etc. It’s better not to take extended passages from other’s work; instead rephrase. In any case any amount of excerpted material (text, table, image, graphics, listing, or what ever) will have to be quoted if taken as is and at least marked by a reference to its source; Plagiarism is not tolerated; Length of your review may be about 8-10 pages in LNCS style, 5-6 pages in ACM/IEEE CS two-column conference paper style. Number of pages is indicated as suggested, actual paper may be shorter or longer as necessary. I advise you to keep it short. Try find relevant journal papers and include them in the references properly referred to from within the text; Try using newer references preferably not older than 4 years; Supply hard- & soft-copy of your paper and softcopies of your references on a CD.
