PDS – Parallel and Distributed Systems track

Master of computer science

Research project (2026/2027)

During the master, a student will learn research by doing research. During the two years of the master, a student will thus spend between one or two days each week in a research group in order to do research projects with professors and PhD students of IP Paris.

You can find previous years' projects here: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020

Research project schedule

Project Evaluation

Research projects will be evaluated on a research report, and a presentation. The project defense is a 30 minutes presentation of the research work followed by 10-15 minutes of questions. The presentation has to explain the work context and problematics, and describe the contribution of the conducted research project.

The report is a expected to be a 5 to 8 pages research paper formatted using the ACM conference style. The report should present the context of the work, its contribution, a positioning with respect to related works. Both M1 and M2 students are expected to send their research report to their supervisors.
