Presentation topics

Pick a presentation from the ones suggested below and send me your choice(s) by email. They are going to be allocated on the first come first bases. If you did not choose any topic, you will be assigned one on January 25th.

You can suggest a different one for well motivated reasons: e.g. particular familiarity with a specific technology, device etc.

You need to present about 30minutes + 10 minutes for discussion, questions.

A good outline for the presentation (of those based on papers):
