The survey paper builds on your annotated bibliography and should cover the same topic, but organizes and categorizes the references. The framing is important as this is your chance to put forward your view of the area and how it relates to current and future research. You may add more references than what exist in your annotated bibliography. Refer to McNabb and Laramee’s How to Write a Visualization Survey Paper: A Starting Point for some ideas on how to construct the paper.
You will also make a brief (8-10 minutes) presentation about your survey. Here, focus on the key ideas in the survey–the background, the way you organized the paper and why that is meaningful, and finally the potential research directions your survey found. This may include how the existing research relates to your final project.
The survey is due Tuesday, October 19, and the presentations will be given during class that day. Turn in the survey paper on Blackboard.
