opportunities for improvement:
> As worded, the problem in your capstone paper is not technology focused. Your problem must be solvable through scholarly research and analysis of technology solutions.
> Every sentence paraphrased or quoted from a reference requires an in-text citation. In your first paragraph, the in-text citation at the end of the paragraph indicates that only the last sentence came from the reference. I do not believe that was your intent.
> Provide an in-text citation to support the sentence 'Health care organization is also one of the rapidly growing institutions in society with the integration of different technologies.' or state it is your opinion.
> Add in a table of contents.
> Add the outline for the entire paper.
> The main text should be left justified.
> The first line of the main text should be the title of your paper.
> You seem to avoid using the AI acronym anywhere in your paper, but it is in the title and even there you must spell it out if it's the first time.
> There are still a number of grammar, sentence structure, capitalization, and word choice errors in your paper that must be addressed (e.g., 'Artificial Intelligence & Robotics Are used in the 21st century...' and 'Few strengths ask the company are as follows').
> There are also sentences that are not understood as written (e.g., 'The purpose of integrating customer artificial intelligence...').
> Corp. is short for Corporation and should be spelled out the first time.
> In the sentence ' The company is an international health...' you should state Cigna, so there is no confusion or misunderstanding by the reader.
> You must provide in-text citations for all company information.
Additional Comments:
> Avoid using quotation marks for anything except direct quotations (e.g., "Cigna Corp." ).
Additional Comments:
> There are major issues and concerns with your paper. Contact me if you would like to discuss your paper and class expectations.
> I recommend you use the class provided outline to better organize your paper.
> The abstract is not required until IP5. I will not review or grade until then.
Computer Science Problem-Solving Research Project Report
This course is comprised of a series of Individual Project assignments that will contribute to a Key Assignment submission at the end of the course. Each week, you will complete a part of a Computer Science Problem-Solving Research Project Report document that is designed to solve a computer science problem. You will select a project or research topic and apply research and knowledge that you have gained from prior courses to the completion of the associated report according to the instructions for each week.
You will select a project as the topic for the research that you will execute and document in this course. The project should represent a computer science problem that you will solve through research and your application of knowledge and skills gained in the courses taken in your program of study. This is the course Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.
Project Selection
The first step will be to select a project as the target for your Computer Science Problem-Solving Research Project Report document. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The project should be nontrivial and should require research as part of the solution, and the project should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the technology research process.
Scope: The project scope should be appropriate for the 5-week class duration.
Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the problem domain to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.
Accessibility: You should have sufficient access to the people and other information related to the project because this will be an important part of the process.
Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
Assignment
For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a comprehensive Computer Science Problem-Solving Research Project Report document that identifies a computer science problem and works through a formal scientific research process to first provide a proposed solution to the problem, then define the hypothesis and research question, as well as design the experiments to collect data to validate the solution. Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the basis of your research and analysis for each of the assignments in the course. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.
The following are the project deliverables:
Submit the project proposal to your instructor for approval.

1. Project Outline
1.1 Company Overview
Give a brief description of the organization (can be a hypothetical organization) that the problem relates to. Include the company size, location(s), and other pertinent information.
1.2 Project Introduction
Give a brief description of the main business products and/or services that the company is currently offering. Include the strength and weakness of the products and/or services, the competitors, and the challenges, etc.
1.3 Problem Identification
1.3.1 Problem Context and Background
Provide an overview of the problem that is suitable for a nontechnical audience. The overview must present the context and the background of the problem and the potential impact on the company or organization.
1.3.2 Problem Statement
Formulate a problem statement for the project. The problem statement should be one sentence that describes both the problem symptom and the problem root cause. The standard format for one sentence problem statement is “The problem symptom due to the problem root cause.”
For example, let’s assume that in one evening, the severe weather has caused a sudden power outage at one of CTU’s campuses. We can use a one sentence “problem statement” to describe such problem: “In the campus, all classrooms are now embedded in the darkness due to the sudden power outage.” In this statement, the problem symptom is “In the campus, all classrooms are now embedded in the darkness” while the problem root cause is “the sudden power outage”. That is this is an accurate one sentence problem statement for this situation.

The definition of your problem should now be completed, and you should be ready for the research phase. This is a key step in the research process and should result in meaningful, measurable, and useful information that you will use later for analysis purposes. Proper execution of your research plan will play a large role in the success of your project.
For this assignment, you will continue your work on the project with the focus on identifying a solution which can address the root cause of problem. You will first select the suited framework which will guide you to develop the solution. Then you will define the specifics of the solution and put it into a one sentence hypothesis statement. After carefully study both the problem statement and the hypothesis statement, you will extract a pair of important concepts reflected in the two statements. A research question can be formulated based on these two concepts. You can also use these two concepts qualified with the problem subject area as the search keywords to find some references which report the similar research works completed by other researchers. After evaluating these references you need to find out what are the main differences between those research works and the solution that you have proposed. All of these will be written into the corresponding sections of the Template of the Content of the Computer Science Problem-Solving Research Project Report document, will be presented as part of the submission for the week.
The following are the project deliverables:
Update the Computer Science Problem-Solving Research Project Report document title page with a new date and project name.
Update the previously completed sections based on instructor feedback.
New Content for Week 2:
2. Solution Identification
2.1 Solution Framework
Based on the nature of the root cause of problem, discuss what computer science principles, models, concepts, algorithm, and platform, etc. should be applied in order to develop a proper solution to address the root cause of the problem. This part is considered as the theoretical foundation of the solution.
2.2 Hypothesis Statement
Base of the Solution Framework, you will define the specifics of a solution that can be applied to resolve the root cause of the problem. Because this solution is only an assumed solution, it will be treated as a hypothesis at this stage of the research. You need formulate a one sentence hypothesis statement in a format of “If the solution is implemented, then the root cause of the problem will be resolved”.
For example, to solve the problem of the darkness in the classroom due to a sudden power outage in the evening, which is described by the problem statement of “In the campus, all classrooms are now embedded in the darkness due to the sudden power outage”, an assumed solution could have several possibilities: such as finding a electricity generator powered by either diesel or man-power, or finding some pre-charged batteries for lightening, etc. Therefore, the corresponding one sentence hypothesis statement can be written as: “If we can find any of the following: an electricity generator powered by either diesel or man-power, or even some pre-charged batteries for lightening within the campus, we can effectively resume the classes.” From this hypothesis statement we can see clearly what solution has been proposed in order to address or resolve the root cause of problem: “the sudden power outage”.
2.3 Research Questions
For example, we can easily extract two concepts: “Type of Electricity Generator” and “Effectiveness of Electricity Generating” through evaluating the problem statement and the hypothesis statement. We will use the “Type of Electricity Generator” as the Independent Variable as it can have at least three possible “values”. We will also use the “Effectiveness of Electricity Generating” as the Dependent Variable. Therefore, we can have the research question defined as: “How will the values of the Type of Electricity Generator changes impact the outcome of the Effectiveness of Electricity Generating?”
As you now can easily see that to answer this research question, all we need to do is to do the experiments by trying each type of electricity generator and measure the corresponding effectiveness of their electricity generating. That is the research question in fact has provided a clear guidance of how to design the research experiments.
2.4.Related Works
By using the Independent Variable and Dependent Variable plus the subject area of the problem as the search keywords, you can easily find out some research works that are relevant in the publications. These publications should be used as the references for you to investigate what are the difference in details from the solution that you have chosen. You should select at least 5 such references, and make a short summary for each reference. The summary should point out the main technical feature, and the pros and cons of the research work, as well as the main difference from your solution.
For example, if we use “Electricity Generator” or “Effectiveness of Electricity Generating” or “Solution for Electricity Recovering during Sudden Power Outage” as the search keywords to find the similar research works, we should be able find many references that are discuss the solution similar to what we are researching.
After collecting the relevant references, all we have to do is to first classify them into categories, then make a summary on the main technical feature, the pros and cons of each category of solution, as well as the main difference between each category of solution and your solution. These summaries become the content of the section of Related Works.
