Your technical reflection should each be a maximum of five pages, including elements such as figures and references. It must be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society double-column journal format. LaTeX and Word templates are available from the IEEE Computer Society website (i.e. the same format that you will use for your group project technical report).

Submit your technical reflection as a PDF document on Blackboard on or before 2 December 2018.
