You Will Love My Awesome Project, Which Has a Really, Really, Really Long Name

Project Goals
Maybe an illustration here
The goal of my project was to apply evolutionary computation to the very
fascinating problem of X and to see if it could outperform Y, which is the
standard approach to fascinating problems of this type.
Remember to think in real dimensions here -This box is 8 inches high! Huge!
Bowdoin “wordmark”
(I am fond of the polar bear,
though this is actually the
logo for the athletic
department. Also, this is
probably not high enough
resolution for a real poster)
This is extra space at the moment… If I really had an awkward block of
space like this, I would make this a narrow column and one or both of
the other two columns wider than they are.
You can also break out of the three-column grid and have a two-column
box if that helps you fit things in better.
Background
Of course, I didn’t do this work in a vacuum; other people have done
related projects and I’d like to tell you about some of these here.
Also, you might well have to explain details about the problem you’re
solving and/or the domain you’re working in.
Conclusions
This is where you can talk about what you think the results mean
Research Methodology
To pursue this project, I created my system and also ran system Y.
I ran 20 experiments using the following parameters for the GA and 20
experiments using the following parameters for system Y.
System Design
If you constructed your own system, this would be the place to talk about
that.
Likely, you also had to design your representation and fitness
function…this information belongs on your poster, too.
Depending on your project, you might also want a section to explain the
data you were working with. Possibly in a distinct section before the
methodology section, but sometimes these are combined into a
“Materials and Methods” section.
Results
Remember that here yo’re trying to make simply statements of fact,
things like how long things took to run, the scores of the solutions found,
what the solutions looked like… this section might have confidence
intervals or other graphs to help illustrate the results.
Future Work
I have a bunch more great ideas for how to extend this project. Let me
tell you about them here.

Acknowledgements
GENESIS
Sends GA Strings to
Webots to determine fitness.
Performs all evolutionary
functions as well.
Webots
Thanks to other people who helped. You probably want to thank your advisor, for example.
Sometimes, it’s appropriate to list your advisor(s) up at the top, with the title.
Takes a GA String and
evaluates it, returning the
fitness to GENESIS.
References
In my book, references can be tiny if need be, to fit. Acknowledgements too, for that matter/
