Proposal in Detail – Part 3

1. Proposal in Detail – Part 3 Project Background

2. Project Background Reminder

3. Project Background • At least three pages long. • This is NOT to explain how you came up with the idea of the project, but rather to discuss some of the literature associated with your project area, without mentioning the specific research project that you are undertaking.

4. Project Background • So it’s about setting the scene for the project and explaining background to this research • How does it fit into the overall context of your discipline (e.g. Knowledge management / Engineering)

5. Project Background • Provide a couple of definitions of AT/IT/DA/KM that support this research • Provide several references in this section (between 10-15 at least). • Don’t talk about your specific research in this section

6. Project Background • Include a few mentions of what people have done in the past • And add in diagrams from their work...

13. Literature Review • TEXT: “Although little research has been done on the influence of movies on the public perception of hacking, researchers have investigated other topics in computer science, for example, Bartneck (2004) looks at how movies represent robots and robotics and in particular how these movies help contribute to the general public’s behaviours to real-life robots. Similarly Schmitz et al. (2008) look at models of computer interfaces presented in movies, and considers the viability of such interfaces in real-life. Also, Fisher (2001) looks at how artificial intelligence has been represented in the movies and how this may impact on the public perception of artificial intelligences. In general the public perception of computer science is strongly influenced by movie representations.” • REFERENCES: • Bartneck, C. (2004).
