'''Additional note:''' after acceptance of the project proposal, students will need to bid for '''IS483''' ('''not''' SMT483) during BOSS2, and they should bid only '''e$10'''. If there is insufficient e$ balance in a student's account, they will not be able to enroll in IS483 even if their team's proposal is accepted.

==Final Report==
 
 
 
We recommend* that you write your final report using the '''IEEE double-column conference paper template'''. This is available from either of the following links:
 
 
 
* Official Microsoft Word Template: [https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html here]
 
* Collaborative Overleaf (LaTeX) Template: [https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/ieee-conference-template/grfzhhncsfqn here]
 
 
 
There is no strict upper word limit, but concise technical writing is preferred. ''(FYI: academic publications that use this format rarely exceed 10 pages!)''
 
 
 
(*) The above template is only a recommendation, and you are free to use any other appropriate template if you prefer (see, for example, the reports of [[Project Groups|previous projects]]). ''Content is what counts!''
