Stage 3 Template Sample – Review based Projects
System Components
1. Describe your proposed system, and what are the criteria that stand on it (The proposed system
based on what?).
(PS: Use red colour to address the underlined and bold requirements in these guidelines)
The proposed system is a remote monitoring system for agriculture which is completely based on the
wireless sensor networks. It was developed based on a review of both past and present studies about
wireless sensor networks. The criteria for this proposed system involved the key factors related to the
research topic and obtained data or information from previous research papers and produced a literature
review for better understanding.
2. What are the inclusion criteria you considered in collecting and analysing your literature?. How
many states of art publications you collected, How many excluded (rejected) and why. How many
you included and why.
(PS: Use red colour to address the underlined and bold requirements in these guidelines)
The inclusive criteria involved in this research included several key aspects such as the journal paper which
involved in-depth analysis about wireless sensor networks, critically reviewed the role of wireless sensor
networks in the agriculture and applications that supported remote monitoring system. There are around 200
publications and papers found in which only 88 papers were included that provide complete information
about the research topic. These 88 papers were included because in which the authors critically reviewed
the importance of wireless sensor networks in agriculture and controlled the factors linked with agriculture
by using remote monitoring system. 112 articles were excluded because they provide very less information
about the research topic and not completely related to the wireless sensor networks and agriculture.
3. What are the points you considered in proposing you the components of your model? What is the
motivation (need) of classifying you each component in your proposed system?. Show how each
will help in your specific domain (JUSTIFY)?.
(PS: Use red colour to address the underlined and bold requirements in these guidelines)
There are several key points considered during proposing the components of the model such as how
wireless networks works, what are advantages and disadvantages of the WSN networks, previous studies
that designed and implemented a system for agriculture and security related issues linked with the WSN
networks. In order to classify all these components, we required a platform for understanding the
fundamental working of WSN networks along with the devices that used to control agriculture system. The
previous research studies can help and motivate for designing and implementing a monitoring system for
agriculture. The major motivation for classifying the proposed system is to understand and analyse the
complete information about wireless sensor networks by which we can make an effective system for
agriculture. The working of WSN networks can help for configuring the wireless networks, advantages and
disadvantages of WSN networks can help for obtaining the effective components during development of
monitoring system. The security related aspects can help to analyse and improve the privacy of wireless
networks by adopting high level security tools.

4. What are the components (factors/classes) and sub-components of your proposed system?.
Classify these classes (components), and find their relationship with the subclasses (sub-
components). What is the motivation for bringing each component in your proposed system?
Show the LINK between these components. What are the attributes for each class and subclass?.
Give an example for each class and subclass.
Present the components and classes with their most inherent attributes and the values in a Table.
Present the components of your proposed model, their subclasses and their relations as a Figure.
(Simulate your Proposed Framework)
(PS: Use red color to address the underlined and bold requirements in these guidelines)
The first factor which is used in the proposed system is a wireless sensor network that controls and
monitors the functions of agriculture. There are major four subcomponents of WSN for example, the
ZigBee WSN, base station, the GPRS network, and the remote monitoring centre. The major motivation for
bringing every component in the proposed system is that all these are connected with each other and
produce a system which can help for monitoring the agriculture system. The zigBee WSN is connected
with the base station for exchanging information and the GPRS networks provide the internet connectivity
to the remote monitoring centre. These sub components are classified based on previous research studies
and journal papers. The other components involved in this research are the system hardware and the system
software.

5. What is the purpose of using each component in your classification and link it with your
goal?. What is the motivation of considering the subcomponents (subclasses) in each of your
components (What is the problem that needs to be solved)?
Justify in details, why you use this factor in your classification. What was the problem? What
the need of this factor (class), … etc.
Wireless sensor network
The purpose of this component is to interconnect the two or more devices with each other and monitor
the system of agriculture. Moreover, with the help of this process data or information can be
controlled and monitored in an effective way. The main motivation behind this component is that

WSN has the ability for connecting subcomponents of the proposed system and it also reduces
conflict problem. The main problem is configuring the system with agriculture which needs to be
solved and we use this factor because it is more flexible and effective rather than other.
Zigbee
The purpose of this component is to use low power digital signals for agriculture networks. It is
directly linked with the goal because it controls and monitors the functions of wireless networks. The
major problem is the lack of communication between source and destination which need to be solved.
We use this factor because it is very efficient and more reliable.
Base station
The purpose of this component is to control and manage the cellular networks linked with the remote
monitoring system. The major motivation for involving this component in the subcomponent is to
manage the communication gap between servers.
The GPRS network
The purpose of this network is to provide internet connectivity for wireless sensor networks and
exchange information from one location to another. Security is one of the common problem
associated with the GPRS network and this component is used in the classification because it
increases the speed of data sharing and less complex rather than other.
6. Please also make other subsections for each factor that is related to subclasses you mentioned
in table 1.
System Classification
1. What are the selection criteria that you used to classify your system?
You need to create a table to show the classification comparison for all previous work that you
collected. This table should compare all previous solution in term of factors you considered in
6

your work. Also, you need to show what is the domain of each solution they work on it, and what
was their input to the system.
(PS: Use red color to address the underlined and bold requirements in these guidelines)
The search returned 100 results, of these 40 met the inclusion criteria and provided complete information
about the research topic. The system classification section is developed in order to provide an overview of
the current work in the domain that we intend to work. For the purpose, we chose the research group and
authors that have the most recent publication. However, if that
The publication didn’t describe the detail on the remote monitoring for agriculture, we select an article that
described the wireless networks for agriculture. The selection criteria as we already mentioned gives us 40
publications and some of them are summarized below:
2. Start with subsection again with each of the factors that you mentioned in your classification
table. The number and title of subsections here will be the same as in "Proposed Components"
section. The contents will be different as will present what state of art publications done in each
section/subsection. The explanation in each subsection will be linked to the classification table.
The last paragraph in each subsection should give a conclusion about the classification you
presented in table 2 .

System Components Validation and Evaluation
1. Here you are going to validate (show the right system built and give that meet the goal you set),
and also evaluate (Show the value of your system and the usefulness of it) your proposed system.
This you did by relying you on the comparison in the classification table that you did in the
previous section. Justify why you evaluate and validate and evaluate your system components.
What are the validation and evaluation criteria you used in your proposed system? What are the
validation and evaluation methods used (qualitative and quantitative methods)?
(PS: Use red color to address the underlined and bold requirements in these guidelines)
For better understanding the components and devices used in this project we used the evaluation and
validation process. The parts would decide whether there is included an incentive in utilizing the
framework. We set forward the separation between the approval and assessment as approval demonstrates
the precision and guarantees that the correct framework was fabricated, and assessment exchange off to
demonstrate the handiness and estimation of the framework.
2. What are the parameters that you are going to use in validating and evaluating your system?
We have dissected numerous distributions and made sense of a wide range of methods for approval and
assessments of their frameworks. The greater part of the productions concentrated on vitality utilization as
the main consideration of approval and assessment. There are several journal papers that focused on the
remote monitoring system for agriculture and other papers provided a simulation of a a wireless system for
controlling agriculture systems. The paper included in this research study also highlighted the validation
and evaluation factor for better understanding of the remote monitoring system.
3. Write about how the state of art publications have validated and evaluated their system.
Classify your presentation to 3 groups, list the previous works that evaluated and validated their
system, another group for previous work that only evaluated their system, and last group for only
8

the works that validated their system. Based on the Evaluation and Validation you done, write
Recommendations show what are the best solutions, and JUSTIFY why.
In some papers, the remote monitoring component of the system was validated through a number of
components. There are several papers that validated the system, whereas there are some that only verified
the developed system. We have some examples of the system that did both the validation and the
evaluation. Bandur, D, Jaksic, B., Bandur, M., & Jovic, S. (2019) highlighted the wireless sensor networks
used for implementing a remote monitoring system and effectively evaluated the proposed system. Shi,
B., Sreeram, V., Zhao, D., Duan, S., & Jiang, J. (2018) provided less information about a remote
monitoring system for agriculture and verified the developed system. Khanna, A., & Kaur, S.
(2019) critical reviewed the WSN networks for agriculture and evaluated the proposed system by
conducting a literature review.
System Verification
1. What is the tool has used to evaluate the proposed model?
The mixed method has used which involve both qualitative and quantitative tools in order to evaluate and
the remote monitoring system for agriculture. It includes certain criteria for the evaluation process such as
availability, scalability, performance, response, and completeness.
2. Provide subsections for the tools used in evaluating the model. For each tool, provide the
following:
Also, provide recommendations about the subcomponents that preferred for each component and
Justify why?
For a qualitative tool, a literature section has been used that provide theoretical information about the
research topic. Moreover, the relevant facts and information gathered from various sources such as
journal papers, previous studies and online books. For a quantitative tool, a survey and graphical process
are used that provided the numerical data about the research topic. It has been recommended that the
wireless sensor networks should connect sub components with each other that are used in this research
project and effectively monitor the agriculture system. all subcomponents are involved in the wireless
9

sensor network because of WSN network interlink subcomponents for sharing data or information related
to agriculture.
3. What are the failing criteria for the proposed system?
The failing criteria for the proposed system are lack of security concerns and journal papers used in this
research did not provide information about the security of WSN. Security and privacy are one of the
common limitations of wireless sensor network due to which consumers can lose their private details.
However, we believe that the system can’t be penalized just for the cause of the limitation to the
implementation. Moreover, security strategies and steps can be used for reducing risks and security
threats occurred in the remote monitoring system.
