ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


ABSTRACT
This is one of the most important parts of your report. It should normally be written last. It should be:
 Short and concise (not longer than 250 words and rarely longer than one paragraph)
 State the objective
 State the method used
 State the result
 State the conclusions
It should not:
 Introduce anything new
 Include references
If you have found anything interesting, it is important that you mention it here because after reading the
abstract, the reader might decide to quit reading the project and he might miss your superb result which is
only revealed at the end.


CONTENTS Formatted: Heading 1
New paragraphs formatted as Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 will be added to the table
automatically. To update this table of contents in Microsoft Word, put the cursor anywhere in the table and
press F9. If you want the table to be easy to maintain, do not change it manually.

LIST OF TABLES


1 INTRODUCTION
The introduction part is another trigger for the reader. If after reading this part, the user is not bored yet,
you have won him over.
It should:
 Present the problem under investigation  
 Indicate the Aim and Objective of the research project  
 Scope of the problem to be addressed  
 Indicate the research methodology for the project  
 Include why solution to this problem is important  
2.11.1 Problem Overview
2.21.2 Research Questions
2.31.3 Research Objectives
2.41.4 Scope
2.51.5 Methodology
The research methodology should include the following points:
 Data Collection Methods
 Data Analysis Methods
 Software Development Methods
2.61.6 Significance/ Potential Applications


2 BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Background section is to provide the typical reader with information that they cannot be
expected to know, but which they will need to know in order to fully understand and appreciate the rest of
the report. This section may describe such things as:  
 the wider context of the project 

 Technical and/or social background
 important concepts relevant to the problem domain and project  
 any theory associated with the problem area 
 any constraints on the approach to be adopted  


3 LITERATURE REVIEW
In this section students need to discuss thoroughly on literature which related to the area or topics selected.
In this section you should show where in current literature the problem was first recognized as well as what
serves as the foundation for your research proposal or final report. The more references you can find that
relate to the given problem statement, the more credibility it will have. This will give the reader an idea
whether you have done your “homework” and know enough about the topic to start with the research
project. Guideline for this chapter is such follow: -  
 What are the past literatures in your selected topic/area?  

 Are there any related and suitable theories with your selected topic/area?  
 How the literatures/theories help you in determining problem statement and ideas?  
 Why your selected topic/area is important to do the research/system? 
3.1 Gap Analysis

 What are the strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches?
 What are the tradeoffs between different approaches?
 What are the issues that still need to be resolved?
This chapter should explain why the project is addressing the problem described in the report, indicate
an awareness of other work relevant to this problem and show clearly that the problem has not been
solved by anyone else.


4 PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
4.1 Suggested Approach
 What you have learnt from previous research and how you position yourself
 Description of Research Design and Procedures Used
 How you developed an appropriate research strategy
 Sources of Data and Sampling Procedures
4.2 Workflow of the system
 How you chose your core setting

 What we need to know about the setting
 Calculations, technique, procedure and equipment
 Limitations, assumptions, and range of validity.
4.3 Algorithms/Architecture
 Description of any novel procedures which you have proposed and implemented
 Incorporation of existing systems (if any), their description and settings
This chapter should explain what you did and how you did it. It must be clearly written so it would be
easy for another researcher to duplicate the experiment if they wished to.


5 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 System Design

The various system design issues that have to be addressed are:  
 Performance  
 Robustness  
 Interactively  
 Flexibility  
 Re-usability and portability  
 Security  
In case of interactive software, the design should also consist of the following:
 Architecture Design – Interaction between components and/or modules  
 Interface Design  
 System Modeling – UML diagrams  
 Database Design – ERD diagram  
5.2 System Implementation

The implementation section describes how the different components in the project have been implemented.
It should also consist of:  
 Develops tools and environment used  
 Implementation of different modules (including detail steps about how they were Developed)  
 Sample codes (including standards and conventions)  

 Difficulties faced and how they were addressed.
5.3 Assumptions/Constraints (Optional)


6 EVALUATION
6.1 Experimentation
This section should describe what was actually done. It is a clear exposition of the laboratory notebook,
describing procedures, techniques, instrumentation, special precautions, and so on. It should be sufficiently
detailed that other experienced researchers would be able to repeat the work and obtain comparable
results.
6.1.1 Experimental Setup
6.1.2 Experiments Design/Details
6.2 Results
In the section, relevant data, observations, and findings are summarized. Tabulation of data, equations,
charts, and figures can be used effectively to present results clearly and concisely.
6.3 Discussion/Analysis
The crux of the report is the analysis and interpretation of the results
 What do the results mean? How do they relate to the objectives of the project? To what extent have
they resolved the problem?
 An evaluation of the situation – what was expected/unexpected, proved/disproved, illustrated,
explored, highlighted by what you have investigated.
 Comparative Analysis: An attempt to explain the results drawing in other research/theory
 A discussion of limitations and possible sources of error


7 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
You should end the report with few paragraphs that sum up the project and any implications, conclusions
or recommendations and suggestions for future research/work you feel would expand the knowledge base
in this area. Don’t introduce any new ideas into your conclusion.


8 REFERENCES/ BIBLIOGRAPHY
If you have cited evidence in the main body of your report, it must be referenced in this section.
Don’t neglect references – you can lose credit if you don’t reference your sources properly.
However, you don’t need to reference:
 Common knowledge (things that most people would know)
 Undisputed historical facts
 Your own opinions, observations, and ideas – but make sure you make it clear in the report that
they are your views.


9 APPENDIX
9.1 Glossary of terms
9.2 Pre-requisites
9.3 Reference/ Source Documents

Provide references to all documents that have been consulted during the project.
