CST 23:59:59 Dec 22, 2024. The deadline is firm. (Please follow the submission instructions.) You have got plenty of time. Make sure to ask your advisor for revision comments.
Revisit your research proposal with the mindset of a programmer analyzing code. In this assignment, you (critically) refine and improve your research proposal by applying principles of “program analysis and synthesis”, with a focus on clarity, precision, and brevity.
You may ask a peer to proof-read your research proposal. After revision, your proposal should look like a serious research paper. Specifically, you should take good care of different type of readers:
Try to make your article readable to all the above audiences. Don't worry about writing too much background-Your domain experts will skim your topic sentences and directly jump to your point. See the power of topic sentences!

Policy on using large language models:
Use the following document configurations:

\setcopyright{none}
Reference format: \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
.
Important note: you should put your name and affiliation (English) in the \author{}
block. The instructors will keep a printed proceeding (for the non-anonymous version). Other instructions follow the same of the previous assignment: all proposals must not exceed six pages (single-column) for the main text (including figures, tables, and appendices). Additional pages containing only references are allowed.
Try your test to create a beautiful paper. Please refer to the texdoc of acmart
