system architecture knowledge using UML diagrams.
The purpose of the Coursework is to apply and extend system architecture knowledge using UML diagrams within a magic draw software to solve a meaningful systems architecture problem or exploit an opportunity of interest to you. A general estimate of the length of the report and word count expected for the course work is 20 – 25 pages based on 11 point Arial in the main body with 1.5 line spacing. This should roughly correspond to 4000 words, depending on the use of figures (to include diagrams i.e use case, sequence diagrams activity diagrams) Your work will be marked to the standards of a research report. Include an abstract; table of contents; list of figures; aims and objectives; figure numbers and pagination. With permission from your supervisor, you may use this as practise for writing your dissertation or project. The marking scheme is outlined in the next 5 subparagraphs: 1. Overall Content and Statement of Problem (20 of 100 possible points): The report should have an Abstract, proper Introduction, and Conclusion; clear structure and format, readability and quality writing; clear statement of the problem (or opportunity) to be addressed, and its significance; knowledge of the problem domain (background research); an evident level of effort; and originality. 2. Achievement of Aims and Objectives (20 of 100 points): Having stated the problem or opportunity you intend to solve or address (or other clearly stated purpose of the report); clearly state the Aim of your work, and specific Objectives (e.g. modelling and analysis tasks) that have logical connection to the aim. It should be clear in the Conclusions that you have achieved your aim and your objectives (modelling and analysis tasks). The results/findings (and conclusions) should be technically correct. 3. Linkage of Conclusions to Problem; and Analysis & Results (20 of 100 points): There needs to be clear linkage of your conclusions to the problem; using the background research and technical analysis to support conclusions. A knowledgeable reader of your work should also be persuaded that if indeed you have achieved your stated objectives, then you have also achieved your aim. Results and conclusions must be supported by technical analysis, and the background research
