USC CSCI 578 Software Architectures Spring 2024 Team Project 1 Research Paper Presentation For this project your team will randomly be assigned to a research paper to present The pool of candidate papers has been pre selected from software architecture conferences and journals from the last five years The goals of the project include Getting to know the current trend in software architecture research Experiencing reviewing and critiquing academic papers Team building and collaborating with peers Your team will get 15 minutes Use the first 14 minutes for the presentation and save the last minute for questions The presentation must include A summary of the paper o The main objective of the research o The research question o The research methodology o The data or results o The conclusion o What the paper discusses about how the research may impact the o What your team thinks about if and how the research may impact the software engineering practice and the real world The practical implications software engineering practice and the real world The future work i e the next step of the research o What the paper suggests as future work o What your team thinks should be the future work Your presentation should also answer the following questions some of the sub questions may not apply to your paper Q1 How does this research differ from the previous research o Does the paper provide a literature review result 1 o What are the previous research papers that the paper cites o What are the key differences that the paper contributes that the previous research papers did not Q2 How appropriate is the research methodology study theoretical analysis etc o What research methodology is used e g experiment survey case o Is the experimental procedure or study design appropriate to answer o Does the paper provide sufficient detail about the research the research question methodology e g techniques tools instruments participants etc Q3 How valid is the result and interpretation o Is the data source reliable o Does the paper analyze the result rigorously o Does the paper provide a sound statistical analysis result o Does the paper identify potential weaknesses of the result or interpretation e g threats to validity or limitations o Does the paper discuss the reproducibility of the result o Are the conclusions supported by the evidence presented o Is it easy and fun to read to you o Are the sections well organized o Do the figures and tables clearly demonstrate the contents o Do the figures and tables appear necessary and add value to the Q4 How well does the paper present the research overall presentation of the paper Logistics Presentation dates At least three of the team members must participate in the presentation Presentation location and method o On campus teams will give the presentation in the classroom o DEN teams will give the presentation during class time via Zoom o Week 6 February 15 o Week 7 February 22 o Week 10 March 21 o Week 12 April 4 o Week 13 April 11 o Week 14 April 18 o Week 15 April 25 2 Each team will randomly be assigned to a date Two teams will present on each date during the last 30 minutes of the class Email us if your date will not work so we can find an alternative date Deliverables Submit at least one visual aid you use during the presentation e g presentation slides via D2L by the end of the day you give the presentation Grading Of the 30 allocated for team projects this presentation will be 10 o Presentation grading criteria 100 points total A summary of the paper 30 points The practical implications 15 points The future work 15 points Q1 5 points Q2 5 points Q3 5 points Q4 5 points Presentation quality 5 points Presentation timing 5 points Visual aid submission 10 points The remaining 20 will be
