Research and Development in Information Technology

Assignment 2 Guideline

Assignment 2: Final Report (60 marks)

After you have done the literature survey, you will identify an unsolved problem in an relevant area

related to one or more of these 6 main research fields: 1. Health Informatics, 2. Internet of

Things (IoT) and Smart City Paradigm, 3. Cloud Computing, 4. Big Data, 5. Data Analytics,

and 6. Network and System Security. You will develop your own method/strategy/algorithm to

solve the problem. You will develop a working system/program to validate your idea. You will set

up different evaluation criteria to measure your method/strategy/algorithm. You will compare your

method/strategy/algorithm with existing method/strategy/algorithm based on the evaluation criteria.

Then you will write a comprehensive final report based on the work you have done.

Submission: You must submit an electronic copy of your assignment in either Acrobat (.pdf) or

Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) via CloudDeakin.

Delays caused by student’s own computer downtime cannot be accepted as a valid reason for late

submission without penalty. Students must plan their work to allow for both scheduled and

unscheduled downtime.

It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they understand the submission instructions. If you

have ANY difficulties ask the Lecturer for assistance (prior to the submission date).

Copying, Plagiarism:

This is an individual assignment. You are not permitted to work as a part of a group when

writing this assignment.

Plagiarism is the submission of somebody else’s work in a manner that gives the impression that the

work is your own. For assignments, plagiarism includes the case where two or more students work

collaboratively on the assignment. The School of Information Technology treats plagiarism very

seriously. When it is detected, penalties are strictly imposed. Deakin University uses Turnitin as the

program that allows you to check whether there is any unoriginal material in your work, please refer

to http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/clouddeakin/help-guides/assessment/plagiarism.

Additional Requirements and Notes

1. Any text, table, figure, and code adapted from any source must be clearly referenced.

2. All assignments must be submitted through CloudDeakin. Assignments will not be accepted

through any other manner without prior approval. Students should note that this means that

email and paper based submissions will ordinarily be rejected.

3. Submissions received after the due date are penalised at a rate of 10% (out of the full mark) per

day, no exceptions. Late submission after 3 days (including weekend and public holidays)

would be penalised at a rate of 100% out of the full mark. Close of submissions on the due date

and each day thereafter for penalties will occur at 11:59 pm Australian Eastern Time (UTC

+10 hours) with Daylight Saving.

4. No extension will be granted without an acceptable reason.

5. Assignments are normally marked and returned within 15 business days after the due date.

Assignments submitted after the due date will normally take longer to mark and return. As this

unit does not have exam, the marks of assignment 2 will not be released until the final grade is

certified by the University.

The essence of this unit

As the unit title indicates, research and development is industry application/problem solving

oriented, differing it from software implementation or project management. You are expected to

think about innovations and contribute to the field of your interest with providing a solution or

systematic assessment for the recent and existing research problems. You are not expected to invent

anything brand new, but it will be great if you could incrementally improve any unsolved problem.

The structure and length of this final report

The recommended structure of the final report should include these parts, and in this order:

1) Title (between 5 to 15 words using only letters and avoid using hyphens and any

punctuations);

2) Abstract (a 100-200 word summary of this report);

3) Introduction (the problem statement, the motivation of this work, the importance of this

work - around 300 words);

4) Related work (a condensed summary of existing solutions, which were presented your first

assignment. State what their drawbacks are, from the point of view of the above defined

problem statement - around 400 words);

5) Your new solution or systematic assessment (the framework of your solution, assumptions

and limitations, and all the details of your solution. Explain why your solution is expected to

be better than others under the same conditions - around 1000 words);

6) Evaluation of your solution (analysis, simulation, and comparison with the previous

solutions. You will develop a working system/program to validate your idea. You will set up

different evaluation criteria to measure your method/strategy/algorithm. You will compare

your method/strategy/algorithm with existing method/strategy/algorithm based on the

evaluation criteria - around 1000 words);

7) Conclusion (a summary of your contribution and an overview of future work. You should

highlight what the major qualitative and/or numerical highlights of the analysis in the

previous section - around 200 words);

8) References (a minimum of 20 references).

The length of the final report is around 3,000 words. (Note: Please consider the above

suggested words-allocation as an average choice; you can totally define a new words -allocation

by your own. You have a maximum of 3000 words, which allow you to show your capability of

creating and demonstrating a new idea and presenting it well. If you are confident that you can

present everything in less than 3000 words, that is ok; otherwise, you have more space to earn

marks. The length does not make you lose any marks; but insufficient content does.)

How to write abstract?

Remember that you have 100-200 word limit so please use simple language to summarise the

problem and your innovative solution. This is the best chance to attract readers' attention.

How to write introduction?

The introduction should be sufficiently self-contained to comprehend the essence of contribution for

people generally working in IT area. They should be able to correctly understand what the

important aspects of the contribution are, and how good the contribution is. The problem statement

needs precise definition. Conditions, context, assumptions, and limitations of the research done

should be briefly stated. The introduction should therefore attempt to present a full version of the

report in a concise, readable, and intuitively clear form.

Page 2 of 5 How to write related work?

Since you have done your first assignment, this part should not be difficult for you. It is a

condensed summary of existing solutions. It should collect known results relevant to the problem

stated, whether or not they are used in your solution. You should state what their drawbacks are,

from the point of view of the above defined problem statement.

How to write your new solution part?

You should present your solution in a plain way that it can be easily understood. You should give

the framework of your solution, assumptions and limitations, and all the details of your solution.

Explain why your solution is expected to be better than others under the same conditions. It is good

to clearly and concisely present the key idea before discussing any steps of your

method/strategy/algorithm.

Remember that a figure may be worth a thousand words. Important new concepts, and new ideas,

can be illustrated by examples and figures as appropriate, to help the reader in understanding them,

and to demonstrate your own understanding of these concepts. Examples should not be trivial, but

meaningful and helpful.

How to write the evaluation part?

The evaluation could be analytical, by simulation, or by implementation. Analytical analysis could

provide, for example, the proof of validity of the major ideas of your solution. You should give

analysis, simulation, and comparison with the previous solutions in this part. You will develop a

working system/program to validate your idea. You will set up different evaluation criteria to

measure your method/strategy/algorithm. You will compare your method/strategy/algorithm with

existing method/strategy/algorithm based on the evaluation criteria. Graphs or tables are good way

to illustrate your evaluation results.

How to write conclusion?

Conclusion part is a summary of your contribution and an overview of future work. You should

highlight what the major qualitative and/or numerical highlights of the analysis in the previous

section.
