General Guidelines for BTech Project I
		    ======================================

The exact format of the report may be given by the concerned supervisor. Some
general guidelines are included below-

For a research type of project, the report may take the form of an article
with the following contents-
    description of the general area of the problem along with its relevance,
    and scope for interesting work, literature survey, formal definition of
    the problem, evaluation metrics, issues in the problem, proposed
    approaches, implementation details- system architecture, algorithms,
    etc., experiments and results, analysis of the results, remarks regarding
    future work possible.

In case that work in this semester is only a part of a larger work planned
for two semesters, the relevant portion from the above may be included with a
fitting conclusion indicating clearly the remaining tasks to be done. This is
true for the product development type project too, described below.

For a product development type of project, the report can be of the following
structure-

=================
Chapter 1: Introduction
    A humble introduction to the general area of the problem, pointing out
    its relevance, and scope for interesting work.
    Then present a item-wise project profile mentioning, for instance the
    following points-
	Title of the project, person who has done the project (your name),
	Supervisor, duration, computing environments, etc.

Chapter 2: Initial System Study
    You will basically attempt to develop a solution to some problem. In this
    chapter start with a brief description of that problem, how things are
    done with the problem existing, drawbacks in that approach, a single-line
    definition of the problem, a brief description of the proposed solution
    (the solution may be a big one, which you may not attempt to complete in
    the present work), scope of the solution (irrespective of the extent of
    your current work), scope of the your work (the portion of the proposed
    solution that you cover in your work), and system development approach.
    Include a general architecture of your proposed solution.

Chapter 3: Feasibility Analysis
    Based on the architecture and the system development approach, write
    about the techinical, economic and behavioural feasibility, of the
    solution.

Chapter 4: System Analysis
    Detailed description of the problem and its parameters. Available and
    expected interfaces that the proposed solution shall have to support,
    functional and performance expectations. If an information system is
    involved, include an ER diagram to depict the pieces of information that
    need to be handled and the relationships existing between them.

Chapter 5: System Requirements Specifications
    This is infact a formal pointwise enumeration of the expectations from
    the proposed solution. The pointwise nature entails that the solution
    might be evaluated according to those points.

Chapter 6: System Design
    Describe the architecture you have earlier proposed, the system modules,
    the interfaces, the database schema, important algorithms, system
    maintenance recommendations/requirements, etc. Also briefly cover the
    alternatives that you considered before finalising your design.

Chapter 7: System Implementation
    Describe the system set-up that is required for developing your solution,
    the components of your deliverables, the system set-up that is required
    to deploy the solution, installation procedure, user training
    requirements and status, testing of the system, trouble-shooting
    guidelines, guidelines for further work.

Chapter 8: Conclusions
