If you use slides in your presentation, you will need to bring a laptop or usb stick from which to present them.

Final presentations:

You will give a presentation that will be 25-30 minutes long.

Make sure you have practiced your talk and that it is the required length.
Otherwise, you will receive the GONG that will end your talk MOST ungracefully.
You do not want this to happen to you!

The point of the paper presentations is to give the class an idea of what is going on right now in systems research.  
You do not need to memorize/master every nitty gritty detail by heart, but you do need to have spent
enough time on the paper to understand it.  You need to convey to the class the problem of focus,
why it is important, the overall contribution (proposed solution and evaluation of the solution), and
what you think are the strengths and weaknesses of the paper.
