Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Literature Review 3. Design 4. Methodology 5. Implementation 6. Results and Conclusions 7. Contributions 8. Future Work 9. References
1. Introduction o The Section titles (on the previous slide) are tentative o This Section could be also called Problem Definition or Problem Specification
1. Introduction o In this Section you would gently introduce the issue you are planning to address. o Start with the Background of the Problem o Describe the Problem is some detail
1. Introduction o Provide some current solutions. o End this Section with the paragraph stating that your project addresses (solves) this introduced problem in some efficient manner
1. Introduction o While writing make sure that the Thesis is readable; having a smooth segue from one paragraph to another
1. Introduction o You are writing a scientific paper in IEEE format o Each statement must be either: i. A common knowledge ii. A fact presented in another paper (reference to that paper needed [1]) iii. A fact that is proven by your narrative
2. Literature Review o This Section can be called State of the Art . o In this section review each paper/document that you think is related to your problem and/or solution. o Present only papers that are relevant and if possible very recent.
2. Literature Review o Google Scholar is a good source [2]. o Ask your advisor to obtain copies of papers that you need. o Reviewing Web online content is also desirable. (Especially software libraries and tools).
3. Design o In this Section you would address the idea/concept of the solution for your research problem o Typically you would develop a system with underlying modules.
3. Design o Describe the system specifications o Describe the modules functionalities. o Do use graphics to depict the system.
3. Design Figure 1. my System Design (deliberately blurred)
3. Design o Describe each module from the graphics. o Create additional diagrams: UML, Visio .
4. Methodology o In this section you would discuss the methods on how you would proceed with developing your system as a solution to your problem. o How do you plan to develop the system and its modules?
4. Methodology o For each module (from 3. Design) explain how you plan to develop it so it satisfies all the requirement specifications. o Any specific Platform, Hardware, API used.
5. Implementation o In this section you would discuss the technical details of your implementation o List your implementation platform details o Discuss pieces of your code. There is no need to discuss all the code: Select only important and interesting code snippets to discuss
5. Implementation o Did you encounter any difficulties: list and discuss those. Also describe how did you overcome the technical obstacles. o Describe code runs and types of code tests. o Code manual/usage pages would be useful
5. Implementation To calculate z we use calculate() function: x = 3 y = 4 z = calculate(x,y) Figure 2. my Function Call (deliberately ambiguous)
6. Results and Conclusion o Start with describing your data collection process. o Why this specific data? o How much data? o The quality of raw data (if any) and the quality of collected data.
6. Results and Conclusion o The details of the results collection process. (How did you generate/collect your resulting data?) o Did you automate the testing process, how o Summarize your results in a tabular format
6. Results and Conclusion Table 1. Resulting Table (deliberately ambiguous) * 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 3 4 2 2 4 6 8 3 3 6 9 12 4 4 8 12 16 Table 1. shows the results generated by my system program.
6. Results and Conclusion o Each table needs to be discussed, and the conclusions about the presented results drawn. o If not sure, you can say we believe that there is a correlation between the results as shown .
6. Results and Conclusion o End the Chapter with the final conclusions; the conclusions about all the resulting data and tables.
7. Contributions o Summarize who (or what) do you think would be the beneficiary of your provided solution. o Summarize how would that entity benefit from provided solution
8. Future Work o Here you would provide possible improvements to your solution. o Include topics that you wanted to try but did not have time to try it out
