We will have two presentations tonight by

Prasenjit Adak and Stelios Paparizos on Database and XML
and by
Pengcheng Wu on Edge Visitors in DJ

I need an email by 4pm with a pointer to a directory containg
your Powerpoint slides. As a backup, bring a diskette to class.

After the two presentations we will have the final (2 hours).

After the final I will go to 229 in Cullinane to see whether
any of you is still there to demo the project to me and Stelios.
I have time until 9.55 pm.
I will also be in my office on Friday to see demos. Please
drop me a note when you will come.
A demo is not required but offered as an option.
All projects are due today. Grades are due on Monday.

I always welcome suggestions for improving the class. Please
append those to your project description when you have any.

Finally two recommendations:

I recommend Professor Wand's class: Semantics
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/course/com3357
as a follow-on to this course. It is a theoretical course
about proving theorems related to programs
but good theory is the best practice.

Software Testing, Verification, and Validation (COM 3220, graduate)
taught by Professor Attie is another excellent follow-on
course to this course. He will cover verification and validation techniques
that you will find useful for your programming practice.
