FYI, to students considering doing projects -- in the last day or two, we've made significant updates to the project ideas list. If you looked a few days ago, please look again. In particular, we've flagged a large number of potential SoC projects that were not there previously. We've also filtered out some that looked too big to be a good 3-month summer project, although you can still find many on the full ideas list. If you're going to work on a proposal for one of these projects, please directly contact the contacts listed for the project to get feedback before submitting your proposal. We will continue to update the project ideas page as new ideas come in, so do keep checking back. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
