'''Submission deadline:''' Due in the final lecture of the term.  Please submit your final papers in a Word document format to me, in addition to a PDF, both sent via email.  I want to embed some comments within the Word doc that will help you revise the paper for submission to a conference venue. 

'''Evaluation:''' You will be evaluated on your ability to concisely document your project, method, and results.  You will also be graded on your writing ability.  Your presentation will be graded on your ability to present the project in an engaging and entertaining fashion.  You will be critiqued on both the content of the presentation and your delivery.

For projects that are systems, take a look at these short papers (that were submitted along with videos to a conference).  Notice how the systems are described using images, usage scenarios, etc and how the rationale is shown for the design.  This is what I'd expect to see for your papers, but only in a longer format with even more detail.  Note that these papers also don't really have a related work section, but yours should.
