1.7 -<p>After this lengthy introduction, here is our shortlist of ideas:</p>
1.8 +<p>Most of the ideas listed below typically require basic C++ programming (you have to be able
1.9 +to write a couple of C++ classes, to know what a method is, etc). Beyond this, each project
1.10 +contains a shortlist of basic skills which we believe are needed to be able to grasp the
1.11 +project's scope and start hacking quickly. Even if some of these ideas seem complex or
1.12 +beyond your reach, don't forget that our mentors will provide the necessary technical
1.13 +expertise so you can focus on building a working solution rather than get lost in
1.14 +the details. The list below is very diverse which reflects the fact that there are
1.15 +a lot of very different things which could be done to improve and contribute to this
1.16 +project: kernel programming, statiscal analysis, gui programming, algorithm
1.17 +implementation and optimization, and, parallel programming.</p>

1.28 performance data from a set of selected real simulation scenarios and, then, attempt to optimize
