Internet of things proposal and report

Abstract-This technical report describes the template available for creating Reports. Do not get fancy and change the fonts, do not waste time adjusting column widths. Focus on your content, let the template take care of the rest.

I. Introduction

This is the template for Reports – Assignment and Lab Reports. Default text style (from the styles pull-down menu, for all text content) is 11 point Times New Roman font, two columns. The title is 24 point font. The title must be edited to reflect whether this is an assignment report or a lab report, and to incorporate your full name(s) and official Swinburne email address(es). The footer must include your surname(s)

II. A section heading using "heading 1" style

A. A sub-section heading, "Heading 2" style

Section headings use the “Heading 1” style, and are numbered. Sub-section headings use “Heading 2” style, and have lettering.

B. Another sub-section heading

You should have an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction in all reports. The Introduction summarizes the key background/motive for the work and the results that make this work worth reading. The introduction does NOT go into details of methodology, literature reviews, or any other lengthy discussion.

The guts of your report is a series of “Heading 1” sections, broken into “Heading 2” sub-sections as required for clarity. Remember that the goal is to educate the readers about what you found and why it is important. A good research report not only documents how the results were obtained it discusses the weaknesses and limitations of the data acquisition and analysis methods.

III. Figures and Diagrams

Figures and diagrams are painful at the best of times, especially with WYSIWYG editors that are too smart by half. Figure 1 is a graphic inside a box. References to this figure can be inserted into the report's body using “Insert->Cross-Reference->References->Figure” and selecting “Category and Number” for the actual insertion. You can “Paste Special” a drawing into this box, inserting just before the caption text.

Predicting where the figure's box will anchor itself on the page is a fine art in itself. Anchor to page, paragraph or character as you see fit (this example is anchored relative to the page). Mostly things will do what you want and expect, sometimes it won’t. Try to ignore placement issues until you've written the body text as you like it. It is good practice to get your content right before worrying about, and wasting hours on, presentation that keeps self-modifying as you add more content.

IV. Conclusion

Recap the report's premise, results, and interpretations of these results. Identify related work that is impacted by, or created by, this paper's results.

Don't forget to edit the first page's author section appropriately (use “Author” style for your name on one line, and “affiliation” style for following lines), and edit the footer with the correct date and technical report number. Finally, ensure the date field on the bottom right of the footer is correct.

Acknowledgments

An acknowledgments section is optional, and if you need one then “Heading 5” seems to work nicely (i.e. no numbering)

References

1] Use "Heading 5" to announce the references section, and "references" style for the references themeveslves.
