MATP6620 / ISYE6760
Combinatorial Optimization and Integer Programming

Class Project

May 6, 2011

Structure of the presentations:

The presentations should be no more than 15 minutes long. You should prepare 24 copies of your slides to hand out in advance. Send me an electronic version of your slides.

There will be six presentations on May 10 and twelve on May 13. The time of each presentation on each day will be determined on the day.

Your report should be about 5 pages long and is due in class on May 13. It must be typewritten. Also send me an electronic copy. It should describe the problem you worked on, what you did to solve the problem, and the significance of what you did. You should also cite relevant references and state what was novel about your approach. For group projects, also hand in one sheet from each group member discussing his or her individual contribution.

Please ask questions during the presentations. I will award bonus points for good questions; I will not deduct points for difficulties in answering questions from students.
