The chapters may be broadly divided into 5 parts 1. Introduction (Hint: Introduction about area of study / Investigation in 1000 wards) 2. Study of the existing system in Industry / Company (in 500 wards) 3. Analysis / proposed work (in 1000 wards) 4. Implementation (if applicable) (in 500 wards) 5. Results and Conclusion / Discussion (in 100 wards) 3.10.1 Introduction : The introduction is a shorter version of the rest of the report, and in many cases the rest of the report can also have the same flow that summarizes the major contributions of the project. This chapter should include the descriptions such as: (not necessarily in that order, but what is given below is a logical order). Background [The setting of the scene of the problem]. Problem Statement [Exact problem you are trying to solve]. Motivation [Importance of the problem]. Post/Related work [Existing methods including pros and cons of the methods should be cited wherever possible]. Challenges [Difficulty in the problem solving]. Essence of your approach [Your method of problem solving]. Statement of assumptions [The conditions under which your solution is applicable]. Main summary of the results. 3

Organization of the report. Avoid routine background e.g. the C programming language. Dont cite endless sources that are irrelevant or that you havent read.

3.10.2 Overview of the Proposed System : This chapter should include the brief description of the whole-proposed software system that is to be developed, system preliminary design, system planning and the details of the hardware & software used. System analysis & design vis--vis user requirements (Preliminary design) should also be represented as a block diagram. System planning is represented as either as PERT chart or as Gantt chart. 3.10.3 Design of the System: This chapter should describe the engineering specifications and targets critically evaluating the existing benchmarks and specifically identifying the gaps which the project is intended to fill; It should show how the concepts evolved and were evaluated also should describe and justify the formation of the final product which may include possibly a number of subsections such as: Details of the development. System architecture indicating various modules / components and their interaction. Feasibility assessment report. Entity relationship diagram / analysis / DFD / State Transition Diagram. If you adopt an object-oriented method, you will include the following in this chapter: Sequence diagrams for each module and entire system. Class diagrams or any other UML diagram for each module and entire system. 3.10.4 Implementation of System: This chapter should reflect development of the project such as: implementation, experimentation, optimization, evaluation etc. and unit integration testing should be discussed in detail. The unit test cases and system test cases should describe the input, expected output and output obtained. It can also include the details of the tools used for implementation, justification for the selected tool and the detailed description of implemented modules. Screen shots, Pseudocode etc. 3.10.5 Results & Conclusion / Discussion: This is part of the set of technical sections, and is usually a separate section for experimental/design papers. This chapter should include: Comparison of cases with respect to existing and proposed algorithm or design. Performance metrics. Parameters under study. Expected and obtained results. Detailed results for each logical component of the project with an accompanying discussion section [Can include screen shots, graphs etc.]. Summarize the key aspects of your project (failures as well as successes) and should state the conclusions you have been able to draw. 4
