Abstract(บทคัดย่อ)
- An abstract is a brief, 200 word description of project objectives; investigative methods used and research conclusions or applications.
- Make the key statement of your thesis.
- Give a summary of how you want to address the issue, include a possible implication of your work, if successfully completed.
- A list of key words that describe the project and identify the major research concept.
1. Introduction (บทนำ)
- This section sets the context for your proposed project and must capture the reader's interest.
- Explain the background of your study starting from a broad picture narrowing in on your research question.
- Review what is known about your research topic as far as it is relevant to your thesis.
- Cite relevant references.
- The introduction should be at a level that makes it easy to understand for readers with a general computer science background.
- In a couple of sentences of the last paragraph, state your thesis.ให้เขียนสรุป2-3 ประโยคเพื่อสื่อถึงความสำคัญของงานที่ทำเช่นงานวิจัยนี้ต้องการค้นหาความคล้ายคลึงกันของลำดับDNA โดยใช้new edit distance algorithm.
- This statement can take the form of a hypothesis, research question, project statement, or goal statement mentioned earlier in this section.
- The thesis statement should capture the essence of your intended project and also help to put boundaries around it.
2. Literature Review(งานวิจัยที่เกี่ยวข้อง)
- Status of research in direction of solution.
- The relevant background material and limitations of existing methods.
- The candidate must show that one has adequate knowledge of the subject and of the literature and can critically place ones work in a wider context.
3. Materialsand Methods (อุปกรณ์และวิธีการ)
- This section contains an overall description of your approach, materials, and procedures.
- What methods will be used?
- How will data be collected and analyzed?
- What materials will be used?
- Include calculations, technique, procedure, equipment, and calibration graphs.
- Detail limitations, assumptions, and range of validity.
- Citations should be limited to data sources and more complete descriptions of procedures.
- Do not include results and discussion of results here.
4. Results (ผลลัพธ์)
- Demonstration of the solutions, justifications for assumptions.
- Present any results you already have obtained.
- Evaluation and analysis of results.
- Discuss how they fit in the framework of your thesis.
- Actual findings, significant output of tests & analysis.
- Must be readable, not pages of computer output.
- Include problems encountered, believability of results, accuracy estimates.
- 1 Picture = 1,000 words.
