Presentations for CS 371
------------------------

    The final project for this course is a group paper and presentation.
The groups and their topics are shown below.  A three-person presentation
should be about 25 minutes long, while a two-person will be about 15.
The group should also prepare a written report on the selected topic.
The report should be about two or three pages from each person.  Each
person should take responsibility for a specific section of the report.
The grade for the paper and presentation will be partly based on group
work and partly on individual work.  The paper does not necessarily 
need to be complete at the time the presentation is given.  It can be
turned in any time up until the last class of the term, on December 12.
One additional requirement of the project is that you be present at all
three days of presentations.
