Abstract xiv

Chapter 1 Proposal
1.1 Introduction
Briefly introduce the whole project , What you’re going to work on , which area of IT you’re going to
be working in .

1.2 Background
Describe the present situation and if relevant, why it is as it is. Which problems are experienced
now? Describe the situation in broad terms.

1.3 Problem Statement


Clearely write a statement that describes the problem you’re trying to solve with your research .

1.4 Aims

1.5 Objectives
Objectives have to be tangible and observable, these are technical objectives which we should be
assessible at the end of the project .The evaluatiing panel will measure your success agaisnt the
technical objectives you set out to achieve in the first place.
1.6 Significance of The Project
In this section you justify the need to have this project, and the expected impact it is going to have
towards the topic in question .

1.7 Methodology

1.8 Scope
Always state clearly the bounderies of your work , What is going covered and what is not covered in
your project.

1.9 Definition of Key Variables


These are the things that play a key role in your overall project, for example if you are analyising
poplation distribution , then population data is a key variable.Because without it there is nothing to
perfom analysis on.

1.10 Conclusion
