CHAPTER ONE:
ONE: GENERALITIES
1. Definition
The meaning of research depends on the discipline and the degree to which the
criteria of research are expected.
To search means moving from known to unknown. That is looking for new ideas
related to a topic.
A research can include both new methods for solving a given problem and
searching for existing methods related to the same problems.
We can define research as a structured enquiry that utilizes acceptable scientific
methodology to solve problems and create new knowledge that is generally applicable.
A research methodology is the way to find appropriate answers to a given topic or
preoccupation. It implies that the process of research is being undertaken within a
framework of approaches, using procedure, methods and techniques that have been tested
for their validity and reliability.
Validity simply means that the procedures used have been applied to find answers
to similar questions.
Reliability refers to the quality of a measurement procedure that provides
repeatability and accuracy. For example, a topic can be done using MERISE method or
UML language. The results obtained could have same validity (the methodology is
known and tested for similar topics) but don’t have the same reliability if we are taken
into consideration the maintenance and the future of the system.
2. Research characteristics
Research is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting information to answer a

specific topic. But to qualify a research, the process must have certain characteristics: it
must, as far as possible, be controlled, rigorous, systematic, valid and verifiable,
empirical and critical.
• Controlled: The concept of control implies exploring causality in relation to
variable. When a control variable is selected, we should set up our study in a way
that minimizes the effects of other variables affecting the relationship.
• Rigorous: The degree of rigor generally depends on the methodology used to a
given topic and the direct supervisor.
• Systematic: This implies that the procedure adopted to undertake an investigation
follows a certain logical sequence. The different steps cannot be taken haphazardly
(n’importe commentou peu methodique).
• Valid and verifiable: Whatever we conclude on the basis of our findings, results
obtained can be verified by any person. They can also be compared to other
similar results.
• Empirical: This means that any conclusion drawn is based upon hard evidence
gathered from information collected from real life experiences or observations.
• Critical: Critical scrutiny (examen munitieux) of the procedures used and the
methods employed is crucial to a research enquiry. The process of investigation
must be fool proof and free from drawbacks (inconvenients).
3. Types of research
Application research can be classified into pure research and applied research. A great
majority of researches in the Department are applied researches. Research topics are
applied research since they are linked to Cameroonians syllabuses. Some pure researches
are giving to Fundamental Computer Science students to link them to Master degree or
more.
Pure research involves developing and testing theories and hypotheses that are
intellectually challenging to the researcher but may or may not have practical applications
at the present time or in the future. The knowledge produced through pure research is
sought in order to add to the existing body of methods or theories.
Applied research is done to solve specific, practical questions, for policy
formulation, administration and understanding of a phenomenon. Applied research can be
carried out by academic or industrial institutions. In some developed countries, an
academic institution such as a university will have a specific applied research program
funded by an industrial partner interested in that program.
4. Research domains
• Signal processing (security, heart diagnosing system)
• Image processing (security, health diagnosing system)
• Microcontroller applications
• E-learning
• Web applications
• Cryptography, encryption
• Software development
• Health applications
• Game theory application
• Network security
• Cartoons
• Mobile applications or Android development (startup)
• Wireless Sensor Networks
• ....
5. Research process
For research process, students begin by:

• Formulate the research problem,
• Review some literatures about this problem,
• Develop objectives
• Write a sample design
• Describe how data could be collected
• Identify how data will be analyzed
• Suggest results presentation
• Suggest the table of contents
• Submit his project to a supervisor
6. Research objectives
Objectives are the goals the researcher sets out to attain his study. They inform a
reader what the researcher wants to attain through the study. It is extremely important to
word them clearly and specifically.
Objectives should be listed under two headings: general objective and three to five
specific objectives.
The general objective is an overall statement of the thrust of the study. It is also a
statement of the main associations and relationships that the researcher seeks to discover
or establish.
The specific objectives are the specific aspects of the topic that the researcher
wants to investigate within the main framework of his study. They should be numerically
or bullet point listed. Each specific objective should contain only one aspect of the study.
7. Research topic
• The topic should have the following criteria:
• As short as possible
• Specific
• Result focus
• Clear
• Concise
8. Writing research objectives
Since objectives dictate a specific action the researcher wants to elicit at the end of the
dissertation, his is setting a specific target or goal at which to aim. Setting a target also
indicates that he must continue searching until the dissertation can perform the given
objectives satisfactorily.
When a researcher writes objectives, make sure that they adhere to these criteria
(SMART):
• The objective should be Specific i. e. clear and accurate.
• It must be Measurable or have clear standards quantitatively, qualitatively and in
reference to time. (The degree of acceptable performance should be stated so that
evaluation may occur).
• It must employ an Active verb (since you're talking about action!) that describes what
the researcher should do or Attain at the end of the dissertation.
• It must be Realistic or Result focus.
• The researcher should be able to accomplish the task within a specified Time.
For effective evaluation to take place the objectives should reflect the 4 Kirkpatrick
evaluation conditions:
1. Performer- Who is writing?
2. Performance- What are they doing?- Active Verb.
3. Standard- How well should they do it?
4. Condition- With what/in what situation will they do it?
Example: By the end of this work, taken into account MERISE method, our aim is to
develop an appropriate user-friendly web site able to help the students identifying all the
part of a computer network.
Objectives are using active verbs listed by BLOOM with his taxonomy:

9. Research design
Research design is the conceptual structure within which research would be

conducted. Its function is to provide for the collection of relevant informationwith
minimal expenditure (depense) of effort, time and money.
Although the preparation of research design is appropriate for a particular research
problem, it should consider following ideas:
1. Objectives of the research study.
2. Method of Data Collection: observation, survey, mail, phone interview, personal
interview, experimental methods
3. Source of information
4. Tool for Data collection
5. Methods of data analysis: use computer methodologies
9. Presentation of results
A chapter is reserved for the results and discussion. Here the researcher could use
print-screens to include results in the hardcopy dissertation. Results are also presented
using Microsoft Power Point software during the defence of the work and the researcher
is under the obligation to handle the presentation software.
Research methodology (By Dr. J.P. DADA, HTTTC Bambili, The University of Bamenda) Page 10
CHAPTER TWO: SOME KEY ELEMENTS OF A PROJEC
PROJECT
1. Coversheet
A good coversheet or title page should list:
Institution headings in both French and English languages
Topic
Author’s name with registration number, last degree and institution awarding that
degree,
date of delivery,
research mentor(s) and advisor, their Institutions and email addresses
The reason of dissertation, cycle and the option.
2. Certification
This page is signed by the supervisor and the Head of Department. It testifies that
student is really the one who wrote the project (or dissertation). Then the student can
defend in front of people his work.
3. Attestation
The attestation is signed by the student. This is an occasion to sign that the work is
done by him and that some paragraphs taken from other authors have been appropriately
referenced.
4. Dedicace
The dedicace is for people who have particularly contributed to the life of the student.
Most of the times, students are dedicacing their direct parents, death people, husband,
children, organization, wife... It is not suitable to dedicace to more than 5 persons or all
the family or fiancés, God... Never explain the raison but just list people with their
names.
5. Writing Abstract
• A good abstract answers the following questions:
o What did you do?
o Why did you do it?
o Who did the work?
o What question were you trying to answer?
o How did you do it? State methods.
o What did you learn? State major results.
o When did you do the dissertation (academic year)
• It then goes on to give a summary of the major results obtained. The final
sentences explain the major implications of the work. A good abstract is concise,
readable, and quantitative.
• Length should be ~ 1-2 paragraphs, approximately 400 words.
• Abstracts generally do not have citations.
• Information in title should not be repeated.
• Use numbers if it is necessary.
• A good abstract finishes with 6 to 8 keywords
6. Resumé
A résumé in French language is an obligation since we are in a bilingual country. It is
just the translated version of the abstract.
7. Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements are reserved to people who have helped to the happy end of the
dissertation, intellectually and materially. Here the supervisor and co-supervisor, the
Head of Department, teachers of the Department and members of jury are listed. It is an
occasion to think about family members, classmate, fiancés… Acknowledgements should
not be more than two pages.
During the defense, don’t call members of jury by name or grade but by their
functions (Mr President, Mr. Reporter, Mr Examiner).
8. Table of contents and references

It should be done automatically by the computer. Then student should:
• list all headings and subheadings with page numbers
• indent (renforcer) subheadings
9. List of Figures
Each figure should have a short title and the page number where it appears. The title
should be the same as in the document. Do not forget to indent it.
10. List of Tables

It has the same characteristics as the list of figures.
11. List of abbreviations

One or two pages are reserved for the list of abbreviations. Abbreviations and listed in
alphabetic order.
12. Research questions

To conduct a research we should list some questions appearing in the mind of the
researcher and guiding his research.
Research questions are questions used to guide a researcher in the research journey.
These questions help to guide the writer what to do, how to do, where to go and so on.
These research questions have sub-units which form sub-problems which usually result in
to research question:
Example: This is ICT DIPET II dissertation topic: Conception and realization of a
virtual library: case study of History Department, ENS Bambili, University of Bamenda,
Cameroon. Those are some possible research questions:
1. Is-it possible with that Department to shift from manual library management to
digital or numerical management?
2. Is-it possible to put in place user-friendly software able to ease research of
documents in that Department?
3. Will people be prepared to use the new computer system?
4. Will the Department have enough resources to implement these projects?
13. Research hypothesis

A hypothesis represents one dimension of theory development. It is also a theoretical
conceptualization. Hypotheses are reasonable guesses about possible and tentative
solutions to the sub-problems. They constitute tentative answers to the research question
and they are subjected to testing in the study.
Hypotheses are directly linked to the research questions. It helps the reader
identifying the assumptions made to conduct the research.
Example: The following hypotheses can be postulated for this above study:
• The rapid growth in the university and particularly the History Department
necessitates the reformation of their libraries from manual to numerical so as to
ease task and management.
• The implementation of a virtual library will help solve lots of management
problems and bring about time safety, accuracy and efficiency in this sector of
studies.
• People will accept to use our user-friendly numerical management software
• History Department will have enough resources (human and materials) to
implement our project.
14. Importance of the study for Education

It is a recommendation at HTTTC Bambili. Since dissertations are done by
teachers, the reader should list the interest of this project for Education community.
15. Background and context of the study
The background explains how the researcher became interested in the problem and
why she thinks the study is worth investigating, establishes the need for the study.
16. Problem statement

The problem statement or statement of the problem serves to elaborate upon the
information implied in the title of the study. The elaboration of the information depends
of the problem based on the background
17. Achievements of the study

The achievements of a project are some changes that will be enabled inside the
society when the project will be implemented.
18. Scope of the study

The scope of the study is the domains covered by researcher investigation.
Cultural, social and intellectual aspects constitute the scope of this study.
19. Delimitation of the study

A delimitation of a study refers to the scope or bounds of the problem. Delimitation
“build fence” around the topic understudy. Delimitation therefore concerns those
elements of the topic under study which are not deliberately eliminated from
consideration.
20. Organization of the dissertation

This part gives for each part or title of the study a small summarize or the main
idea for each of them to facilitate their understanding so that the reader doesn’t need to go
over all the entire work before identifying what has been done. The reader therefore has a
good understanding of all ideas supporting the whole study.
Computer science dissertations have generally five chapters:
• Chapter one is entitled “General introduction” where background of the study,
problem statement, research questions and hypotheses, delimitation of the study,
definition of keywords, general and specific objectives, significance of the study…
are pointed out.
• The chapter two is entitled “Review of literature” that will be an occasion to talk
about some previous works done by researchers, related to the same topic. It will
also be an opportunity to highlight some generalities about the topic.
The chapter three aims to present the “Methodology and materials used”. Here it
is an opportunity to describe the topic, let the reader discover all the methodologies used
for similar topics. It is an opportunity to justify the choice of a specific method since the
researcher should summarize the advantages and the limits of each method studied. The
researcher is then under the obligation to present at least two methods used by other
people for the similar topics. The chapter continues with material used. Materials are
hardware and software.
“Results and discussions” is the title of the chapter four. The researcher will point
out with print screens some important results obtained using chapter three methodology.
It is then an opportunity to compare the findings or results with the hypothesis to let the
reader identifying if what the researcher has after his investigations or after his analysis
correspond with what was saying in the first chapter.
The chapter five is entitled “General conclusion”. It is divided into four parts:
conclusion, summary of findings, discussion and implications of the study,
recommendations for future works.
21. Definition of keywords

This part of our study consists to give the signification to some important words that
we are going to use during our work. The definition of these keywords will facilitate the
comprehension of our work.
22. Generalities of the study
Generalities are closed to literature review but here, they are general unpublished
knowledge about the topic. Those can be ideas from courses, evident knowledge or
information. For example, if a researcher is working on database, generalities can be
knowledge on the concepts of database, database management systems, database software
requirements specification, relational database management system…
23. Related documents or literature review

Here is the time to cite books, publications, journals, websites… each work should be
summarized in 3-15 lines with references.

CHAPTER THREE: COMPUTER PROJECT METHODOLOGIES AND
MATERIALS USED
1. Object-oriented methods
The object-oriented designing approach has use-cases as a central point. The
ensemble of use-cases represent the behavior in the modeling stage. These are some
examples of object-oriented methods.
1.1 OMT method
Object Modeling Technique (OMT) is an object modeling language for software

modeling and designing. It was developed around 1991 by Rumbaugh, Blaha,
Premerlani, Eddy and Lorensen as a method to develop object-oriented systems and to
support object-oriented programming. This reference gives the purposes of modeling are:
Testing physical entities before building them (simulation),
Communication with Customer,
Visualization (alternative presentation of information),
Reduction of complexity.
OMT is a predecessor of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Many OMT modeling
elements are common to UML. In brief, a functional model in OMT defines the function
of the whole internal processes in a model with the help of "Data Flow Diagrams
(DFD's).
1.2 UML method
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is an object oriented method developed in

response to the call to proposals launched by the OMG (Object Group Management) with
an aim of defining the standard notation for the modeling of the applications built to
assistance of objects. It is inherited several other methods such as OMT (Object
Modeling Technique) and OOSE (Object Oriented Software Engineering) and Booch.
Principal UML authors are Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson and Jim Rumbaug. UML offers a
standard way to visualize a system's architectural blueprints, including elements such as:
• actors
• activities
• business processes
• database schemas
• logical components
Although UML is widely used it is frequently criticized for the following: Standards
bloat, problems in learning and adopting, Linguistic incoherence, mismatch dysfunctional
interchange format.
1.3 UP method
Unified Process (UP) is a method which is responsible of the life cycle of software
and of the development for the software Object-oriented methods. It is a generic,
iterative and incremental method, contrary to sequential method MERISE (or
S.A.D.T).Thus, according to UP to transform the user's needs into software, the
realization must necessarily present the following characteristics:
• UP uses UML
• Up is controlled by the use cases
• UP is centered on architecture
• UP is iterative and incremental
1.4. RUP
Rational Unified Process if very closed to UP.
2. Functional methods
The methods of functional analysis provide at the same time technical and
teaching approaches. Technical approach falls under a rational step of the know-how and
brings sufficient reference marks to give the possible to analyze, choose and use one
modeling, although the technological developments. These methods find their origin in
the procedural languages and dissociate the problem and the representation of data. Most
known are: S.A.D.T, MERISE. But we will just make a short description of S.A.D.T and
focus our attention on MERISE method.
2.1 SADT method

Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) was Developed by Doug
Ross de SoftTech (U.S.A.) in 1976. It offers building blocks to represent entities and
activities, and a variety of arrows to link boxes. These boxes and arrows have an
associated informal semantics. The SADT method not only allows to define user needs
for IT developments, which is often used in the industrial Information Systems, but also
to explain and present an activity’s manufacturing processes and procedures.
The SADT supplies a specific functional view of any enterprise by describing the
functions and their relationships in the company. Those functions fulfill the objectives of
a company, such as sales, order planning, product design, part manufacturing, and human
resource management.
2.2 MERISE method

MERISE, stands for “Méthode d'Étude et de Réalisation Informatique pour les
Systèmes d’Entreprise". It is a French method developed during the years 1970s by
Hubert Tardieu according to reference.
The initial purpose of the MERISE method was to develop an information system
design methodology which could be used by both private enterprises and civil services to
produce data processing applications which use databases in a real-time environment, and
which will be more reliable. It became a dynamic modeling method, which models the
behavior of an information system during the analysis and design phases of information
systems.
2.3. FAST method
FAST
3. Conception environment
3.1 PowerAMC/Win Design

PowerAMC is a graphic environment modelling of data and process. It is produced
by Sybase and is easy to use. PowerAMC can:
• Integrated modelling via the use of methodologies et signs oriented to data
(Entity/relation, MERISE), application (UML) and trade (XML).
• Generate codes automatically
3.2 Notepad++
This is just scripts editor.
3.3 Mozilla Firefox

It is one of the most used browsers since it interprets most of the existing scripts.
4. Development environments
4.1 HTML
HTML is the universal language used to communicate on the web. It helps to
transfer your information over the internet to the reader with the help of a browser. This
means that when a user request for information from the server, the server sends the
response directly to the user through the browser which displays the response on the
user’s computer. HTML codes always begin with <html> and ends with </html>. Within
these open and close tags, we have other tags such as the <head></head> and <
body></body> in which each is also opened and closed.
This brief explanation of HTML is to introduce JavaScript and PHP since the codes of
these two languages are usually found within HTML tags.
4.2. JavaScript language
JavaScript is the scripting language of the web. It is used in billion of web pages to
add functionality, validate forms, and communicate with the clients. Its script is
incorporated into HTML tags and helps to ameliorate the presentation and interactivity of
web pages. JavaScript is considered as an extension of HTML and when inserted into
html pages, it can be executed by all modern web browsers.
4.3. PHP language

PHP is an HTML script language written in C that functions on the server side or it is
a server side language design for web applications as per reference. PHP can be
embedded directly into an html source document rather than calling an external file to
process data. PHP is free software that can run on almost every operating system.
To work with PHP successfully, we need a number of elements two of which includes:
• A PHP local interpreter. This interpreter can be EASYPHP or WAMP Server as
they both perform the same functions. EASYPHP and WAMP are bundles that
include windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP. PHP editor is also needed because it
is here that the codes are written. Any editor can be used such as macromedia
Dreamweaver, WordPad and notepad++ which is what has been used to write the
codes in this work.
4.4. CSS
CSS helps to automatically presents web pages.
4.5. Mysql
Mysql is a data management system. Mysql is a relational SQL database server. It
is multi-thread and multi-user. It is a part of LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PhP). The
couple PHP/MYSQL is extremely used for web sites.
4.6. Adobe Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver lets two conception modes: the user can choose between a creation
modes:
• page can be layout automatically like a word processor
• it is possible to observe directly html or other codes and modify them
• It is also possible to use the two modes simultaneously.
4.7 Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop is a software that can help to modify numeric pictures. It can work in
Bitmap and vector modes and can create GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, ILBM… files.
4.8 WAMPserver/EasyPhP/XAMPP
WAMP server is a platform of web development on the type WAMP (Windows,
Apache, Mysql, Php). It can function locally without having an obligation to be
connected to an external server. WAMP server is not a software itself but en environment
integrating two servers (Apache web server and MYSQL database server), a scripts
interpret (PhP) and administration of two databases (SQL PhpMyAdmin, QSLite
Manager).
4.9. E-Learning Management System software
4.9.1. Didapages

4.9.2. Moodle
Moodle stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. It is
a free source e-learning software platform, also known as a Learning Management
System, or Virtual Learning Environment. Moodle was originally developed by Martin
Dougiamas to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and
collaborative construction of content, and is in continual evolution. The first version of
Moodle was released on 20 August 2002.
Moodle has several features considered typical of an e-learning platform. It can be
used in many types of environments such as in education, training and development, and

Already more than one hundreds of companies and training organizations use it within a
professional framework.
4.9.4. Claroline
“Claroline” is a Web Based Course Management System that allows teachers
(professors, lecturers...) to create and administer course websites through a browser. The
software was initially started by the University of Louvain (Belgium) and released under
Open Source license. A community of developers around the world has since contributed
to its development. Claroline has been developed by an international network of teachers
and developers scattered around the world.
With “Claroline”, the designer can:
• publish documents in any format (PDF, HTML, Office, Video...),
• run public or private discussion forums,
• manage a list of links,
• create student groups,
• compose exercises,
• structure an agenda with tasks and deadlines,
• make announcements (also via e-mail),
• have students submit papers,
• consult statistics of frequenting and success in the exercises.
4.9.5 HotPotatoes
“HotPotatoes helps teachers to designe educational software. It accepts texts,
images, songs videos and also many other animations. It also helps to create exercises
(MCQs, Column A and column B questions…).
4.10. Neuroph
Neuroph is a framework which helps to implement the intelligent diagnostic. It is
an object-oriented neural framework written in Java. It can be used to create and train
neural networks in Java program. It provides class library as well as GUI toll
easyNeurons for creating and training neural networks. It is open source project released
under the Apache Licence.
4.11. JAVA programming language
Java is a general purpose, concurrent, class-based, object oriented programming
language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as
possible. It is intended to let application developers “Write Once, Run Anywhere’
(WORA), meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to
run on another. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can
run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.
4.12. Netbeans/Eclipse
Netbeans is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing
primarily with Java, but also with other languages, in particular PHP, C/C++ and
HTML5. The netbeans IDE is written in Java and can run on any operating system
compatible Java Virtual Machine.
4.13. Signal processing tools: MATLAB

MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is particularly due to the higher precision it has,
when dealing with high precision numbers. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations,
plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces,
and interfacing with programs written in other languages including C, C++, Java and
Fortran. Functions written in MATLAB can be compiled with MATLAB to generate Java
components, which therefore can run on every computer supporting MATLAB Runtime
Compiler (MRC). The MCR is a standalone set of shared libraries that enables the
execution of compiled MATLAB applications or components on computers that do not
have MATLAB installed.
414. Androïd applications:

• Java JDK5 or JDK6

revolutionary interactive system level simulator. This product combines mixed mode
circuit simulation, microprocessor models and interactive component models to allow the
simulation of complete microcontroller based designs. It provides the means to enter the
design in the first place, the architecture for real time interactive simulation and a system
for managing the source and object code associated with each project. In addition, a
number of graph objects can be placed on the schematic to enable conventional time,
frequency and swept variable simulation to be performed.
4.14.3. MPLAB IDE

MPLAB IDE is a Windows Operating System (OS) software program that runs on
a PC to develop applications for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal
controllers. It is called an Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, because it
provides a single integrated "environment" to develop code for embedded
microcontrollers. It is designed to work with many Microchip and third party language
tools. These tools take our application code (written in assembly, C or BASIC language)
and turn it into executable code that may be programmed on our selected Microchip
device.
4.14.4. IC-PROG/WINPIC800
IC-Prog is a Windows based software to control a development programmer for
PIC microcontrollers. To operate this software, a basic knowledge about electronics and
Windows is necessary. It is a windows based programmer that enables the programming
of many devices and supports a number of programmer types.
In order for this software to operate, we have to attach a programmer to our
computer and set up the hardware & software appropriately. Note, that because of
differences in programmers, the software might not work on some combinations of
programmer hardware and PC’s.
4.14.5. Proton
Proton language is like MikroC but uses BASIC codes.
4.14.6. Arduino software

Arduino is a computer hardware and software company, project, and user community that
