The paper should be included in any one of the Buyya’s challenge included below as attchment .
It should be written in IEEE format with all the references in Harvard format ( expecting at least around 40 references)
Since the topic is clearly about defining a new algorithm – u should explain in research methodology how the preposed scheduling works .
Drawbacks of the existing sheduling methods with respect to jobs with deadline
[ i have also enclosed one sample paper .to understand steps , and what kind of research proposal i am looking for .( its not related to the field i mentioned ) ]
Below are the key headings to be included
1) Abstract should contain : problem statement, Indication of methodology , Main findings , Principal conclusion
2) Introduction: should establish a territory ( the past decade much research has focused on..) , Should establish a niche ( why it remains unclear) , should occupy the niche ( purpose of study )
3) Literature review:
Literature review Must compare, contrast and relate to previous work, clearly identify the research question(s), enumerate the objectives of the work, and specify the foreseen contributions. This section must:
• introduce each section by outlining the key argument points that you will be covering;
• finish each section with a brief conclusion of what you have covered and then link to the next
section by outlining what you will be discussing next;
• ensure that each section heading exactly matches what the outlined contents in the introduc- tion and that the argument points also match;
• present a logical order of the reviewed sources;
• have descriptive section headings (not vague or too simplistic/general e.g. “cloud computing”);
• critically contrast at least two sources in each paragraph, as opposed to just ‘reciting’ what the articles say. Every paragraph should explain the significance of the articles are in the context of your own research question;
• ensure there is consistent referral back to the research question do not be afraid to consistently remind the reader why a point is relevant in the context of your own question; and,
• Make sure there are no extended sections where the sources are not mentioned all comments and analyses should be in the context of discussing the sources.
Overall the literature survey should not consist of a series of paragraphs beginning, ‘Jones/Smith argues….’. Focus upon concepts, issues, cases, with reference to authors, and then critically contrast them, clearly highlighting advantages and shortcomings.
The literature review must finish identifying the research niche and the expected contribution of the research.
This section should be 6-8 pages in length and contain some 20 references, mostly using recent academic articles from reputable journals and/or conferences
Literature review contains 40% weightage
4) Research method and specification
Must describe your proposed methodological approach to the research as well as the expected/next research steps to bring your research project to completion. This section must:
3.2.1
• provide a specification to describe the techniques analysis methods that will eventually un- derlie the implementation (1-2 pages);
• furnish a complete analysis and design documentation in order to explain each of the ma- jor design decisions and choices to be made. Consider using software engineering diagrams to illustrate your proposed approach
important : all the diagrams mentioned below are important , please ensure its enclosed
class and object diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagrams, CRC cards, activity diagrams, communication diagrams, statecharts, and/or sequence diagrams (4-5 pages); and,
• include a project plan which specifies the expected tasks to be carried out during the capstone project semester. It should have a Gantt chart with the related dependencies (1page).
This section should be 6-8 pages in length.
This section also weight 40% of the total criteria
5) Conclusion : limitaions if any , otherwise put in a nutshell all the points above
6) reference : please provide all the necessary reference
finish each section with a brief conclusion of what you have covered and then link to the next
section by outlining what you will be discussing next;
• ensure that each section heading exactly matches what the outlined contents in the introduction
Should not have a Plagiarism count of above 10
