1 Domain research
1. Talk about your title.
2. Talk about two to three similar systems(Compare).
3. write about 5 to 7 pages.
4. Try to illustrate the domain.
2.2 Technical Research
1. Programming Language chosen(3 to 4 pages).
2. 2.2.1.1-Justification of Programming Language the developer has chosen(at lea
st two reasons, at least one page).
3. Compare is programming language chosen(3 types) but do no compare in justific
ation
4. Under (2.2.2), do not leave it empty even if you dun have any DBMS. At least
three lines of explanation. Examples are MySQL, Oracle, MSSQLServer, SqLite, Ing
ross, XML.
5. First have a general explanation of the DBMS then have a comparison table bet
ween three different DBMS.
6. Under (2.2.2.1), is the justification for the DBMS chosen.(half a page to 1 p
age)
7. Can use more than one DBMS.
8. Under (2.2.3) explain the phases of System Development Methodology chosen wit
h diagrams.(5 pages in total).
2.3 Conclusion
1. What did you learn from this research, precisely the outcome of the research.
2. Half a page.
3. learn from domain and technical parts.

3.0 Research Methods
1. Research methods available:
a) Qualitative Research Methods (A)
b) Quantitative Research Methods (B)
2. Data Collection Methods/Techniques
a) Interview (A)
b) Questionnaire (B)
c) Focus Group / Group Discussion (A)
d) Delphi (A)
e) Observation (A)
3. Must first explain what is research methods and the two types.
4. Explain and give example about the techniques used.
5. Explain the techniques used and give justification for data collection techni
ques.
6. Sub-section 3.0.1 -> Introduction
7. Sub-section 3.1 -> Data collection technique chosen
8. Sub-section 3.2 -> Justification for the data collection techniques chosen
9. Sub-section 3.3 -> Design of interview questions(15 to 30 questions) - at lea
st 3 people
10. Sub-section 3.4 -> Design of questionnaire questions(15 to 30 questions) - A
t least 30 people
11. Each questions within questionnaire have to state its aim(why you created th
e question).
12. (Group Discussion method) Explain Group discussion then justify. Then state
participants and their positions.
Participants: a) Mr Dhason, chair person (DHA)
b) Mr Lee, SE (Lee)
c) ........
Date of discussion : .............
Time Start :..........
Time end: ................
Location: ..............
Q1) [DHA] Are you hsppy with the current HRM of APU?
Answer by (Lee) ________________________
13. Difference between Group Discussion and Delphi is that the chair person in D
elphi cannot be yourself. Has to be one of the participants.
14. Participants in Delphi technique has to be experts in their field.
15. Delphi do not need date, time and location.
16. Format of Observation(15 to 25 questions):
Date of observation: ______________
Time started: _________ Time Ended: ____________
Location: ___________
System/Object Observed: ____________
Observation 1: Is the library system slow?
Fact:
Observation 2: Is the APU library system user friendly?
Fact:
Observation 3: Are the APU library staff happy with the current system?
Fact:
17. Do not start collecting data before your Ethics Form has been approved.
18. Use Fast Track Ethics Form(15 Oct).
