CMSC 420: Data Structures

Hopefully, the webpage should be enough for project specification, for more resources, please visit (http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/meesh/420/).

Project submission will be to the submit server. Here's a tutorial on how to submit.

Email: meeshATumd.edu
Office: 1109a AV Williams
Hours: TBD, after class, and by appointment
Class accounts: Unix accounts will be on the GRACE ( Glue Research and Academic Computing Environment) cluster. Development tools, such as Eclipse, and JAVA 1.7 are available on the cluster; we will grade your projects using the submit server. To use the cluster, you will need a TerpConnect account. If you do not have one, or if you are not sure if you have one, you must request one asap .
Book(s): A Practical Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms (Shaffer (Free) --Required)

Part 1: (100 pts) Due 9/26/14 23:59PM with 48 hour grace period. No later submissions accepted for credit--only good faith effort.

Note 1: we reserve the right to fail you in the absence of a good-faith effort on the project. Dr. Hugue is the sole arbiter of this issue, and the minimum number of project points to pass the class will be no fewer than 300.
Note 2: in the presence of a good faith effort and a minimum number of project points bounded above by 450, your final grade will be the maximum of the following: 20% per test + 28% project + 32% final exam; 20% max test + 28% project + 52% final exam; 20% per test + 35% project + 25% final exam.
