18-843 Related Work Survey*

Together as a class, we are constructing a survey of topics related to building and using Systems of Active Components. Each student will be writing and presenting one component of this survey, which will cover one topic.

Survey topics
- Schedule (what, when, who)
- List of topics (based on our 1/13 meeting)

Starting points for reference gathering

Topic talk/paper starting points:
- Check-list & notes page (please copy to your subdirectory and keep up to date)
- Template for draft survey write-up
- Powerpoint Template (not required, but nice to use) and example presentation handout (.pdf)
