1. Introduction

Introduce the general issue with which the project deals, e.g. rising cost of health care,

environment, etc.

Why is it an issue? supporting evidence; statistics, news, articles, etc.

Briefly describe how the project deals with the issue.

Project Impact on society locally and globally:

– Positive impact.

– Possible negative impact, due to misuse or unaccounted for risks.

2. Problem Statement

The specific problem the project is trying to solve.

3. Background

Related terminology, concepts, and technology.

Existing solutions, e.g. products, research.

4. Requirements and Specifications

Functional user requirements.

Non-functional user requirements, e.g. response time, power consumption, cost, size.

Technical specifications:

– Derived from and maps to customer requirements.

– Must be specific and testable. The product must meet all specifications.

5. System Design

Completely document the project design. Use graphical illustrations as much as you can.

5.1. Solution Concept

General approach of solving the stated problem.

Description of used/developed algorithms.

Alternative approaches and algorithms, comparison, and selection criteria.

Sub-function identification.

5.2. Architecture

System architecture and components.

Alternative architectures, comparison, and selection criteria.

Hardware vs. software components.

Functions of each component.

5.3. Component Design

For each hardware and software component:

Custom vs. off-the-shelf, and justification for developing a custom component.

Off-the-shelf components: alternatives, comparison, and selection criteria.

Custom components:

– Design and implementation, e.g. flow chart, state machine, pseudocode.

– Component design alternatives, comparison, and selection criteria.

5.4. System Integration

Standard vs. custom interfaces between components, and justification for developing custom interfaces.

Specification of custom interfaces.

Component interaction, e.g. sequence diagrams.

6. Progress

For each task, whether completed, in progress, or not started yet, list:

· Owner.

· Description.

· Timespan: when does it start and when is it completed.

· Status: in progress, completed, waiting for another task (specify), delayed (why), . . . etc.
