1. Proposal for Term Project Compilers, Fall 2015 J. H. Wang Nov. 2, 2015

2. Term Project Either team-based programming project (i.e., the same as programming exercises), or Compiler-related academic paper presentation –But, your should do it on your own (only 1 person), NOT team-based A schedule will be arranged for both paper presentation and system demonstration A proposal is needed after midterm (Nov. 23, 2015) –Introduction, methods used, experiment designs

3. Proposal (for Programming Projects) A one-page description of your idea about term project –Introduction: an overview of the language that you ’ re trying to deal with –Methods: possible issues in recognizing the language and the principal ideas of your ways to solve them –Experiment: design of your experiment to verify your idea –For team work members: the names and the expected responsible parts of each individual member should be clearly identified

4. Proposal (for Paper Presentation) A one-page description of which papers you want to read and present –No team work allowed –You have to prepare a 15-minute presentation of the major ideas of the paper –Topics: compiler or programming language- related –Possible sources: Conferences: ASPLOS, POPL, PLDI, OOPSLA, … Journals: TOPLAS, …

5. Possible Topics for Programming Design and implement a new language or syntax (for programming, human languages, for describing elements in games, music, mathematics, or any other purposes) –Lexical analysis –Syntax analysis –Code generation: format conversion, partial result analysis output, … –Optional: optimization Any topic you think interesting and non-trivial to build from our Programming Exercises

6. Submission Due: after midterm (Nov. 23, 2015) And your proposal is subject to review and possible suggestions on changes
