2. Please structure your presentation according to the following guidelines:
   - Composition of the team
   - Specific problems addressed (Please do not spend time on motivating the program, focus only on the specific issues you work on.)
   - The research approach you plan to follow (Please be technical and concrete)
   - Your plan of deliverables, and milestones (Please be concrete)
   - Your planned interface for integrating your deliverables with other components (This should reflect your view on how your solution could be used in different NEST applications. It gives a chance to clearly define what you do NOT want to address in your project.)
