CSIT600c: Web Services Programming
for MSc(IT) Fall 2005 - Course Paper

• All email communications to me should

·   have subject line prefix "CSIT600c", and

·   CC: to the tutor

• Submissions should be in word format.
• Your paper outline can be a Powerpoint presentation.
• Submit diagram and source files (e.g., Rational Rose models, XML files, etc.) if they have not been included in the main word file. If you have several files, compress them into a .ZIP file.
• For all the filenames, prefix it with: "CSIT600c-<YourName>-<StudentNo>-<BriefTitle>", e.g., "CSIT600c-ChanTaiMan-12345678-eGovtWSSecurity-abstract.doc".
• Declare if your file contains confidential materials - such topics however are strongly discouraged. Otherwise I assume you agree to trust me to handle all the publication and disclosure of the paper with me. Good papers shall be posted to the class for educational purposes. If appropriate, I shall even try to publish the best papers with you to workshops, conferences, and/or journals for the honor of you, the class, and the department.
• Early submission of abstract / paper outline, etc., for feedback is strongly encouraged. It is extremely difficult to write a good paper in a hurry.

Paper format

• Format you paper in the IEEE CS conference paper format (unless previously approved, say, for extending my paper that is already in another format)(template from IEEE)(example paper), though you may use the APA citation style for convenience.

• For diagrams, please use packages that output vector graphics to word instead of bit map, e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint that are common.  Either embed the source diagram in the Word file or submit all separate source diagram files (like Rational Rose models) in a zip file.

• Make sure you include enough related work survey and citation in your writing.

• Although you may discuss with your classmates, you should be the only author of the paper and write in such tone and settings (unless you are extending my paper, but of course I will not write with you for the course - you are just using the existing papers to work on).

• Structure and present your paper according to the notes in Lecture 3.

• Include your name, student number, and email address.

• Include adequate reference list and citation in your paper (though you can include those cited in my papers where appropriate) - you are suggested to start including that in you paper outline so that I can help you early. Highlight the main related work so that I can give you more hints to beat them!

• There are no page limit but inconcise presentation affects the quality of your paper, but typical good papers are around 8-10 pages excluding appendix.
