If you think of any other related topics please talk to your lecturer before deciding. The use of a Research Report from this or another subject, even if it is your own, is considered Academic Misconduct. This report must be your own original work for this subject in this session.
1.Analyse the Task (Milestone 1: Should be completed by end of Week 5 – this is a guide, submission is not required)
Analyse what is expected of you. This includes careful reading of the assignment task as specified in the Subject Outline. Look at the literature and start collecting at least 10 Journal Articles and/or Conference Papers.
For Analysis:
i)What is the purpose of this report?
ii)What is the topic you have chosen for your report? (The topic can be one specified as above, but you can come up with new ideas and topics of your choice in IoT)
iii)What is the expected format of the report? (Refer to the format in Interact2 Student
Resources: ITC560 Assign3 Help File Template.doc).
iv)Come up with a Problem Statement based on your topic, note it down and discuss it with your lecturer.
Introduce the Problem or Challenges. Write the Introduction to the problem and domain. Structure the report including which section covers what.
2.Do the Research: Literature Review (Milestone 2: Should be completed by the end of Week 8 – this is a guide, submission is not required)
This is the main part of the research project and could take more time.
i)Review of Literature based on past and current work in your topic (download from conference proceedings, journal articles – use Primo search to access more articles and journals – Minimum of 10 journals or articles)
ii)Structure in chronological order and start summarising.
iii)Based on the literature, list the requirements for your Project, then choose one or more requirements to work with.
iv)Now you can modify your Problem Statement based on the requirements chosen for your project.
v)Write the current and past techniques or technologies used to solve your problem, the requirements and Literature Review
3.Final Report (Milestone 3: Submission Due Week 11 – 11 Oct 2019) NB if you ask for an extension, you will be required to submit the material for the above milestones first.
Start writing your draft, as you do your research project (Put it all together)
i)Use the ITC560 Assign3 Help File Template.doc provided in the Student Resources section. Your Report MUST use this format.
ii)Write the Abstract of the report (Purpose, Scope, Technologies, Recommendations, Future Research and Conclusion)
iii)Modify the Introduction from Milestone 1if necessary
iv)Modify the Review of Literature from Milestone 2 if required, based on past and current work in your topic (no more than 3 pages)
Briefly explain each technique/solution/issue used in the past and present (5 or more)
Explain the technology/technique/solution which best suits your application/problem, based on various factors with proper justifications. This literature review can be one of the above technologies or applications or Issues or a combination of more than one.
v)Include tables and graphs to support your justification and argument.
vi)Discuss your research findings with a conclusion.
vii)Referencing MUST be in CSU APA6 format, using in-text citations
(see https://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu for guidelines and help).
