Write a Research Paper on any topic related to what we are discussing in this class. You may write on privacy, big data, the Internet of Things, smart cities/resilient cities, predictive analysis, ethical issues, etc. (If you have any doubts about the relevancy of the topic, just send me an e-mail.) 

The Research Paper must be between 2000 and 2500 (or the equivalent of about 4-6 pages of single-spaced text or 8-12 pages of double-spaced text with 1 inch margins and 12-point typeface).

DO NOT SIMPLY CUT AND PASTE. If you quote something, make sure you attribute it to a named source, and make sure that your quotes are limited. I want to see your words. The paper is due on July 12 at 6:00 pm, when you will present your paper in class. Your grade will be based upon the quality, content and style of your work.

You may write the paper in whatever "writing style" you prefer. Just make sure your references are somewhere - in text, footnotes, or a reference or bibliography page.
