Review Presentation: The student is expected to spend minimum 2 hours per week (as mentioned in
the time table) to refer at least two peer reviewed journal papers related to this domain/subject. The
student is expected to identify issues/challenges and emerging trends in the domain/subject. Student
is supposed to explore various video lectures (E.g. NPTEL) available in the domain/subject. Student is
required to make a review-presentation on the work carried out for the same.
Recommended sites for journal papers are (1) dl.acm.org (2) springer.com (3) sciencedirect.com (4)
elsevier.com (5) ieeexplore.ieee.org (6) scholar.google.co.in (7) scopus.com or others of same repute.
