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.

5. Conclusions and Future Work(บทสรุปและแนวทางในอนาคต)

  • Restate / summary problem, approach & results.
  • Describe in detail what you plan to do until completion of your thesis.
  • Discuss any particular challenges that need to be overcome.
