Computer Engineering Assignment: Project Requirements for DSS/BIS Project
The requirement of the assessment is to build on earlier stages of the project, the proposal and presentation, to develop a computer-based DSS/BIS prototype for analysis of the heart health data with an interface suitable for data visualisation. The prototype must be functioning and of realistic size, not too trivial, but not large and complex, with a user-friendly interface. It will be your responsibility to ensure that your tutor has the appropriate software and hardware to run the prototype for marking purposes.
Your prototype will be accompanied by a business report with a research component containing an industry-focus for undergraduate students (7156) and an academic -focus for postgraduate students (6680). This means that you have substantial scholarly work to do and are expected to research beyond just the reading material and lectures provided. The research component should demonstrate an ability to analyse critically, think reflectively, argue persuasively, and to synthesise the argument with source material.
The business report is expected to contain –
a. the development process, and
b. a user guide
The research component is expected to contain –
a. for UGs 7156 only – related and relevant issues in the health informatics sector with an industry focus
b. for PGs 6680 only – related and relevant issues in the health informatics sector with an academic focus.
Research source material for undergraduate students (7156) includes industry articles which are rarely peer reviewed such as white papers from software vendors, ‘grey’ literature from government, and professional literature such as Information Age, published by the Australian Computer Society.
Source material for postgraduate students (6680) includes some industry articles for their timely content but also academic articles from journals, books and conference published after a rigorous peer-review process.
