The discussion must show literatures about the proposed system or software where innovation is the center of presentation. ) Project Context (This part of the document present the current situation of the proposed project. This must show a detailed discussion of the processes where automation is/are needed to be implemented. The proponent must show an evidence that their is the need to conduct this research and innovation.) Framework of the Study (Theoretical framework and conceptual framework is the main topic in this part of documentation where pertinent theories needs to be applied and how it will be applied and proved in the course of the study. While the conceptual framework shows the graphical representations of the relationships and the processes of how the problems and the theories to be applied in the study. ) Objectives of the Study (A research objective is a clear, concise, declarative statement, which provides direction to investigate the phenomenon. Research objectives is a concrete statement describing what the research is trying to achieve. A well-worded objective will be SMART - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, & Time constraint. Research objectives should be Relevant, Feasible, Logical, Observable, Unequivocal & Measurable.)
● General Objective (General objectives are strategic; for projections
and mission statements or any situation where you are dealing with intangibles or events in the future. A general objective is broad and long term.) Example: This study aimed to Developed a Educational Role-Playing Game (RPG) Ibong Adarna a Filipino Mythical Bird, in order to promote cultural identity on Philippine mythology.
● Specific Objectives (Short term and narrow focus.)
Example: Specifically, this study would like to: 1. Create terrain suitable for the ancient Filipino mythology event. 2. Design a character that best represent the characters in the story of “Ibong Adarna”. 3. Use a game engine that will give a satisfactory performance of the developed game. 4. Construct an artificial intelligent (AI) algorithm that will detect the Non-performing characters (NPC) and other obstacles in the game. 5. Apply a 3 dimensional (3D) graphics and special effects in the game in order to give excitement, entertainment, and yet educational game. Scope and Limitations (In a thesis, the scope is how widespread the study is, while the limitations are aspects that the researcher cannot control.Scope and limitation have very different meanings, and their definitions can vary depending on the context in which they are used, but the limitation can easily be understood as the various aspects of something that can not be achieved and scope is essentially the opposite, the things that are expected to be achieved. ) Definition of Terms (these are operational terms used in the study.)

Specify the timing relationships for real time systems. Make such requirements as specific as possible. You may need to state performance requirements for individual functional requirements or features.) ● Safety Requirements (Specify those requirements that are concerned with possible loss, damage, or harm that could result from the use of the product. Define any safeguards or actions that must be taken, as well as actions that must be prevented. Refer to any external policies or regulations that state safety issues that affect the product’s design or use. Define any safety certifications that must be satisfied.) ● Security Requirements (Specify any requirements regarding security or privacy issues surrounding use of the product or protection of the data used or created by the product. Define any user identity authentication requirements. Refer to any external policies or regulations containing security issues that affect the product. Define any security or privacy certifications that must be satisfied.)
