INSTRUCTIONS - For this component you will prepare a report or critique on an academic paper related to Enterprise application or designing or implementation challenges. The paper you select must be directly relevant to one of these major topics. The paper can be from any academic conference or other relevant Journal or online sources such as Google Scholar, Academic department repositories etc... All students must select a different paper, thus the paper must be approved by your instructor or tutor before proceeding. In case two students are wanting to report on the same paper, the first who emails the instructor with their choice will be allocated that paper (provided it is acceptable).

Note: popular magazine articles, web sites and blogs are not academic sources.

Your report should be limited to approx. 1500 words (not including references). Though your paper will largely be based on the chosen article, you can use other sources to support your discussion. Citation of sources is mandatory and must be in the IEEE style.

Your report or critique must include:

Title Page: The title of the assessment, the name of the paper you are reviewing and its authors, and your name and student ID.
Introduction: A statement of the purpose for your report and a brief outline of how you will discuss the selected article (one or two paragraphs). Make sure to identify the article being reviewed.
Body of Report: Describe the intention and content of the article. If it is a research report, discuss the research method (survey, case study, observation, experiment, or other method) and findings. Comment on problems or issues highlighted by the authors. Discuss the conclusions of the article and how they are relevant to what you are studying this semester.
Conclusion: A summary of the points you have made in the body of the paper. The conclusion should not introduce any 'new' material that was not discussed in the body of the paper. (One or two paragraphs).
References: A list of sources used in your text. They should be listed alphabetically by (first) author's family name. Follow the IEEE style.

Resources - There are a number of resources you can utilize for finding academic articles and you should make the most of these resources.

1. The VIT Library has access to an extensive array of on-line journals including IEEE and ACM journals. You can access these online Journals through the library's subscription to the ProQuest platform. You can access this platform by finding the 'ProQuest academic platform' link on the StudyBoard@vit home page, towards the bottom of the page in the left column under the heading Resources & Services.

2. Please also refer to the link in the same section on 'Scholarly Article Searching'. This will show you how to search or articles of the type required for this assignment.

3. In the same section, additionally refer to the link 'VIT Library Referencing'. This link discusses a number of referencing styles. Different types of Journals will require different styles of referencing and citation, but this assignment requires the IEEE style. Commonly associated with Engineering and Science disciplines. This style is discussed in the document and provides examples and links to further resources.

4. Google Scholar is a separate google search engine that will help you search for scholarly articles (Journal articles and conference papers etc..). It will generally not have access to the resources that Proquest above does as these are usually paid sites. However Google Scholar does index an extremely large amount of scholarly articles located in open access conferences, Journals and academic web sites. Please go through the above notes 'Scholarly Article Searching' to find out how to use Google Scholar.
