DETAIL OF CHAPTERS
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Summary – Key to a good summary is the FIRST sentence, which
MUST contain the most essential information that you wish to convey.
1.2 Purpose : Goals & Objectives
1.3 Scope (Scope – what it can do and can’t do)
1.4 Technology and Literature Review of Past Work/System
2.0 Project Management
2.1 Project Planning and scheduling
2.1.1 Project Development Approach (Process Paradigm) and
Justification
2.1.2 Project Plan including Milestones, Deliverables, Roles,
Responsibilities and Dependencies
2.1.3 Schedule Representation
2.2 Risk Management
2.2.1 Risk Identification (it is concerned with discovering possible risk to
the project)
2.2.2 Risk Analysis(each identified risk is considered in turn and a
judgment made about the probability and the seriousness of the risk)
2.2.3 Risk Planning (Identify strategies to manage the risk)
Note: Discuss the risks associated with your project or system only.
2.3 Estimation
2.3.1 Effort Estimation
2.3.2 Cost Analysis (Total cost of the project including resources and
labors. Labor cost should be broken down into the areas of design,
analysis, prototype construction, software development, hardware-
software integration, testing, design modifications and documentation.
A cost analysis is NOT a tabulation of your expenditure)
3.0 System Requirements Study
3.1 User Characteristics (Type of users who is dealing with the system)
3.2 Hardware and Software Requirements (minimum requirements to run your
system)
3.3 Constraints
( It includes Regulatory Policies, Hardware Limitations, Interfaces to Other
Applications, Parallel Operations, Higher Order Language Requirements,
Reliability Requirements, Criticality of the Application, Safety and Security
Consideration, Assumptions and Dependencies or any other constraints
related to your system)
4.0 System Analysis
4.1 Study of Current System
4.2 Problem and Weaknesses of Current System
4.3 Requirements of New System
(Mention all functional and non- functional including user and system
requirements)
4.4 Feasibility Study
(In this section, does feasibility analysis by finding answers of the questions
like Does the system contribute to the overall objectives of the organization?
Can the system be implemented using the current technology and within the
given cost and schedule constraints? Can the system be integrated with other
systems which are already in place? etc ;)
4.5 Requirements Validation(is concerned with showing that the requirements
actually define the system which the customer wants)
4.6 Functions Of System
4.6.1 Use Cases, event trace or scenario
4.7 Data Modeling
4.7.1 Class Diagram/ E-R diagrams
4.7.2 System Activity or Object interaction Diagram
4.7.3 Data Dictionary
4.8 Functional and Behavioral Modeling
4.8.1 Context Diagram
4.8.2 Data Flow Diagram (0 and 1 level)
4.8.3 Process Specification and Decision Table
4.8.4 Control flow diagram
4.9 Main Modules Of New System
4.10 Selection Of Hardware and Software and Justification
Note: Prepare System Requirement Specification (SRS) after analysis phase. Choose
appropriate guideline for your system.
NOTE: If your criteria do not match with above design then refer various CASE Tools for
your application and find suitable design. Don’t blindly select these designs. Do
find appropriate Design Style suitable to your project work.
NUMBERING
• All pages in the report except the cover pages and dedication page must be numbered.
All the page numbers should be located at the BOTTOM RIGHT of the page.
• The page numbering starting from candidate’s declaration up to the beginning of the
chapters should be numbered in small roman letters, i.e. i, ii, …
• The page numbering starting from the beginning of Chapter 1 up to the end of the
report, should be numbered in Arabic numerals, i.e. 1, 2, 3,….
PREPARATION OF CHAPTERS
Color: All the text including Tables should be Black prints. However, Graphs and Figures
can have color prints.
Font:
Chapter Headings : Times New Roman 16pts, bold, UPPER CASE
Section Headings : Times New Roman 14 pts, bold, UPPER CASE
Subsection Headings : Times New Roman 12 pts, bold, Title Case
Regular Text : Times New Roman 12 pts, normal
Special Text : Times New Roman Italics 12 pts (for foot notes, symbols, quotes..)
SPACING/ALIGNMENT
• Use 1.5 spacing between lines of regular text
• Use double spacing between Paragraphs, Chapter title and section Heading, Section
heading and paragraphs, Table Title and Table, Figure Title and Figure
• Use single spacing between text corresponding to bullets, listing and quotes in the
body of text.
• All paragraphs in the report are to be fully justified from the first line to the last line
and should start from left without any hyphenation/indent. Text corresponding to bullets,
listings and quotes in the main body of text should be indented.
SECTION/SUBSECTION NUMBERING
Section numbering should be left justified using bold print with Arabic numerals and
decimals.
Example: 1.1, 2.1, 1.2.1
Figures and Tables should follow immediately after/on immediate next page after they are
referred to for the first time in the text. Figure headings should be given at the bottom of the
figure. All figures and tables are to be central aligned on the page. Each drawing is to be
numbered and referred to as Figures only. Diagram title should be similar to figure titles.
Table heading should be given at the top of the table.
REFERENCES
All the references cited inside the text should be documented under the heading
“REFERENCES”. All the references must be informative.
