Example: ITS-C: An Interactive Intelligent Tutoring System tort C Programming Abstract/Executive Summary From ISO to 200 words of short, direct and complete sentences, the abstract should be informative enough to serve as a substitute for reading the thesis itself It states the rationale and the objectives of the project, Do not put citations or quotes in this section. Avoid beginning the abstract with “This paper/ The abstract should include at least five keywords that are relevant to the thesis project. For example: Keywords: agent, multimedia systems, communication, multi-agent systems, educational game
For possible keywords and/or classification recommended by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), please see the following sites, respectively: http://WA. ACM. Org/class/; http://code_scuds. Du/keyword’s; http://code. scuds. Du/IEEE_keywords Observe the following format: I. Research Description 1. Overview of the Current State of Technology 2.

Overview of the Current State of Technology / Project Context This section gives the reader an overview of the specific technology or field in the international or local setting. The information regarding the technology or field should be contemporary and not based on outdated sources, Discussion must not be too technical or too detailed. This section lays out the context for the proposed thesis project. This section ends with a discussion on the problems or issues faced by or that still exist in the specific technology or field (e. , limitations of existing software or algorithms, lack of interactivity in multimedia presentations). The problem statement would lead to the research objectives. I _ 2. Research Objectives I -2. 1 General Objective This section States the overall goal that must be achieved. 1. 2. 2 specific Objectives This subsection is an elaboration of the general objective. It states the specific steps that must be undertaken to accomplish the general objective. These objectives must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bounded. Each specific objective may start with “to design/develop/survey/review/ analyze… Studying a particular programming language or development tool (e. G. , to study Windows/Object-Oriented/Graphics/C++ programming) to accomplish the general objective is inherent in all theses and, therefore, must not be included here. 1. 3 Scope and Limitations of the project This section discusses the boundaries (with respect to the objectives) of the project and the constraints within which the project will be developed. 1. 4 Significance of the Project This section explains why such a project is necessary. It rationalizes the objective Of the research With that Of the stated problem or issue.
Avoid including here sentences such as ‘This research will be beneficial to the proponents/ department/college” as this is already an inherent requirement of all DAD thesis projects. 2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE}SYSTEMS This chapter discusses the treasures, capabilities, and limitations of existing algorithms, systems, or software that are relevant and related/similar to the thesis. The reviewed work and system must be arranged either in chronological order, or by area (from general to specific). Observe a consistent format when presenting each of the reviewed works.
In this section, the maximum number of pages is 20. At the end of this section, a table of summary should be included discussing the different systems discussed so far. 3. METHODOLOGY This chapter lists and discusses the specific steps and activities that will be performed by the proponents to finish the project. The discussion covers the activities from the proposal to the final thesis Stage. Examples Of activities include inquiry, survey, research, brainstorming canvassing, consultation, review, interviews, observe, experiment, design, test, document, etc.
The methodology also includes the following information: What will be done How it will be done When and how long will the activity be done Where Will it he done Why should be activity be done 4. CALENDAR OF ACTIVITIES This section contains the Giant chart showing schedule of the activities outlined in the previous section (Research Methodology), The following table is an example of a Giant chart: ACTIVITY I Data Gathering I Software Requirements Analysis JAN I FEB.
