PDS – Parallel and Distributed Systems track

Master of computer science

Research Internship

During Master 2, students work on a research project as part of a research internship. The internship can be done in a research Lab (at IP Paris, or elsewhere), or in a company R&D department.

Evaluation

The research internship is evaluated as follows:
  • The Lab tutor gives a grade for the lab work (25% of the final grade) -- Evaluation form [.odt] [.pdf]
  • The jury gives a grade for the research report (50% of the final grade) -- Evaluation form
  • The jury gives a grade for the defense presentation (25% of the final grade)

The research report describes the research work that was conducted during the research internship. We expect approximately 30 pages of content that presents the research problematic, the proposed approach and its implementation, an evaluation of the proposed approache, and a conclusion that discusses future work. Unlike "grandes écoles" internship reports, we do not expect a presentation of the lab/company.

The defense is a 25 minutes presentation of the research work followed by 10 minutes of questions by a jury composed of the head of the master track, the lab/company tutor(s), and a jury president (usually, a teacher of the master track program). Unless the defense is confidential, additional jury members may be invited, and the presentation may be public.
