1 Introduction
Chapters are entered using the Heading 1 paragraph style; they start on a new page. The paragraph after a heading automatically uses the Body First paragraph style.
However most text uses the Body Text paragraph style like this paragraph. Ordinary text appears as 11 point Times New Roman, single-spaced, single-sided pages.
In general, use the default spacing that headings and paragraphs give you. Avoid using newlines or spaces to format text. If you need to use quotes, preferably use single curly quotes ‘…’.
1.1 Background and Context
Describe the problem that you are tackling. Sections are entered using the Heading 2 paragraph style.
1.2 Scope and Objectives
Define the scope and objectives of your project. Define the expected results and how others will gain from the work.
2 State-of-The-Art
Discuss the work of others in the same area as your project. Show critical awareness of what others have done, and how you hope to extend or complement existing capabilities. Give references to other work by using cross-references like.
3 Approach
Explain how you are tackling the project. Describe any special software or hardware that you are using. Discuss the techniques you have chosen, and the developments you are undertaking. Demonstrate how you are performing the project as a computing professional (i.e. application of systematic techniques, awareness of relevant professional issues).
3.1 First Section
Subdivide lengthy text into sections.
3.1.1 First Subsection
If necessary, also use subsections. Subsections are entered using the Heading 3 paragraph style.
3.1.1.1 First Subsubsection
If you really need subsubsections, enter these using the Heading 4 paragraph style.
As an example of a figure, consider Figure 1. Captions are entered using the Figure paragraph style. Use automatic figure numbering and cross-references. Let large figures float to the top of the next page rather than having a big gap in the text. If you need something centred as for a figure, use the Body Centre paragraph style.
4 Prototype
Describe the prototype you have implemented.
5 Interim Plan
5.1 Updated Project Plan
Give an updated plan for the remainder of the project. This should identify the remaining pieces of work and when you plan to complete them.
5.2 Updated Project Deliverables
Update the remaining deliverables of the project. In particular, describe what you will demonstrate when the final report is due
References
Use the Reference paragraph style to enter and cross-reference document references. Books [1], standards [2], reports [3], journal articles [4], conference papers [5], and web pages [6] are conventionally presented in slightly different ways.
