Assignment 2: Research Proposal

1. Assignment Aims

 To gain experience in formulating a proposal for a research project.
 To become skilled in identifying research gaps and questions that address them.
 To become skilled in recognising and investigating a wide range of issues in computing research and practice.

2. Learning Outcomes:

 Plan, document, manage, deliver and critically evaluate a rationale for a project in computing (and in the context of the degree being studied) using appropriate methods of research, analysis and investigation, together with an evaluation of scientific risk.
 Identify and delineate the professional, legal and ethical issues raised by computing practice in organisations and research, as well as the state of the art in a particular computing domain.
 Reflect critically on your own personal and professional development.

3. Assessment Brief

For this assignment, you need to write a research proposal on a topic of your choice, relevant to your degree. This proposal is a statement of intent for a research project to be undertaken and a reference point from which the project is examined. For instance, the proposal can be in preparation for your MSc individual project or for a PhD programme. Note, however, that there is no requirement that you undertake the project in the submitted proposal. In preparing your submission, you need to consider the following notes regarding topic choice, structure and content requirements.

Choosing your Topic

You are strongly encouraged to base your choice on the results of the academic literature review conducted for assignment 1. While this is not mandatory, it will significantly reduce your workload since you would not have to conduct a literature review from scratch.

Structure

You are free to structure your proposal in any way that you feel is more suitable to your topic. Indicatively, you can include the following:

An introductory part where you describe the research context: a brief overview of the general area within which the proposed research falls, summarising the current state of the art and relevant literature.
The main body where you state the research aims/questions and objectives, the intended deliverable(s), the methodology which you will employ to carry out the research and the intended project plan.
A concluding section where you briefly summarise the proposed research, highlighting its originality and impact.
A list of references (which is NOT included in the word count).

Content Requirements

The content of your research proposal is directly dependent on your topic. However, the following are required as a minimum:

A review of relevant literature that outlines the current state of the art and indicates gaps in knowledge, which will act as the basis for the proposal. This can be a summary of your submission for assignment 1.
At least one research aim/question, two research objectives and one deliverable.
A discussion of the research strategy, techniques and methodologies that are to be used, with appropriate justification.
An analysis of risks and potential professional, legal and ethical issues that are raised by the proposed research and appropriate ways to address them.
A project plan (e.g. a Gantt chart).
Referencing must strictly follow the APA 7th style, which is used at the University of Huddersfield.
