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 on Interact2)
iv. Come up with a Problem Statement based on your topic, note it down and discuss it with your lecturer.
v. Write asmall executive summary as an abstract -
Introduce the Problem or Challenges-Milestone2- Due Date 23/04/2018
i. Write theIntroductionto the problem and domain.
ii. Structure of the report including which section covers what? - Do the Research-Literature Review–Milestone 3- Due date 13/05/2018
This is the main part of the research project and could take more time. (Referencing should be in APA6 format)
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 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.

Write your Report –Final Report – Milestone 4- 20/05/2018
Start writing your draft, as you do your research project. (Put it all together)
i. Write an executive summary of the report (Purpose, Scope, Method, Results, Recommendation and Conclusion)
ii. Write a Review of Literature based on past and current work in your topic (no more than 3 pages)
iii. Briefly explain each methodology used in the past and present (5 or more methodology)
iv. Compare the above methodologies from your perspective on the efficiency, simplicity, extension into other applications, time saving when used, cost saving when used, feasibility, connectivity, commercialisation issues, etc.
v. Explain the methodology which best suits your application/problem based on various factors with proper justifications. This methodology can be one of the above methodologies or a combination of more than one.
vi. Include tables and graphs to support your justification and argument.
vii. Discuss your research findings with a conclusion.
viii. Referencing should be in APA6 format.
Rationale
This assessment covers the following learning outcome:
- be able to evaluate a variety of existing and developing architecture technologies for IoT;
