This coursework should take an average student who is up-to-date with tutorial
work approximately 25 hours
Learning Outcomes:

Plagiarism is presenting somebody else’s work as your own. It

includes: copying information directly from the Web or books without
referencing the material; submitting joint coursework as an individual
effort; copying another student’s coursework; stealing or buying
coursework from someone else and submitting it as your own work.
Suspected plagiarism will be investigated and if found to have occurred
will be dealt with according to the procedures set down by the
University.

All material copied or amended from any source (e.g. internet,

books) must be placed in quotation marks and in italics, with a full
reference to the source directly underneath the material.

Your work will be submitted for electronic plagiarism checking.

Any attempt to bypass our plagiarism detection systems will be
treated as a severe Assessment Offence.
 
Coursework Submission Requirements
• An electronic copy of your work for this coursework should be fully uploaded by midnight (local time)
on the Deadline Date.

• The last version you upload will be the one that is marked.

• For this coursework you must submit a single Acrobat PDF document. In general, any text in the
document must not be an image (ie must not scanned) and would normally be generated from other
documents (eg MS Office 2007 using "Save As .. PDF").

• For this coursework you must also upload a single ZIP file containing supporting evidence.

• There are limits on the file size.

• Make sure that any files you upload are virus-free and not protected by a password otherwise they
will be treated as null submissions.

• Comments on your work will be available from the Coursework page on the Intranet. The grade will
be made available in BannerWeb.

• You must NOT submit a paper copy of this coursework.

Coursework Regulations 
1. If no submissions were made before the deadline, coursework submitted up to two weeks late that
meets the criteria for a pass will be treated as a referral. It will be subject to university regulations for
referral work.
2. Coursework submitted late without an Extenuating Circumstances claim will receive a ZERO grade.
If you have extenuating circumstances you may submit your coursework up to two weeks after the
published deadline without penalty but this is subject to acceptance of your claim by the School
Extenuating Circumstances Panel. If your claim is rejected then you will receive a zero grade for
your work.

3. Coursework submitted more than two weeks late will be given feedback but a grade of non-
submission will be awarded regardless of any extenuating circumstances. However, if your
Extenuating Circumstances claim is accepted then the Extenuating Circumstances Panel will
recommend to the Progression and Award Board that you be permitted to retake a different item of
assessment at a future assessment point.

4. All courseworks must be submitted as above.

Mobile Integration for Large Museum complex

This coursework is to be completed individually.

1. The Scenario
You have been asked to prepare a feasibility study and an initial design for enabling the national
museum of antiquities to utilise mobile technologies to improve the museum’s efficiency and
provide electronic services for the visitors to the museum

The complex consists of the main museum which is housed in three large Greek neo-renaissance
styled four story buildings completed in 1805, sited around a large square ornamental garden. Sited
half a kilometre from the museum’s three display buildings, and shielded from view of the visitors
by a screen of large trees are two modern buildings, a storehouse to store items not on display and
an administrative building.

In addition, 900 meters from the museum’s display buildings, the gatehouse has a gift shop, a café
and sells tickets for the complex - these are sold in three categories, entrance to all three museum
buildings and the complex’s gardens, entrance to any two of the buildings and gardens, entrance to
gardens only.

The museum’s management have identified several key areas where they would like to see benefits
from the proposed system.

• Monitor which items are the most/least popular with the visitors.
• Provide interactive information for the display items.
• Location identification of display and warehouse items.
• A tally of how of many visitors are in each of the three building at any one time.
• Stock control.

There are four categories of user: -

• Visitors
• Museum managers and administrators – e.g. Facilities, staffing, resources, accounts, stock,
billing etc etc.
• Museum staff – i.e. the staff required to look after the museum, such as security,
maintenance, cleaners etc
• Museum staff that cater for the visitors, ticketing, gift shop and café.

Appropriate levels of security must be provided.

2. Coursework stages

Stage 1 Cost-Benefits Analysis

• Identify the various costs associated with the deployment, operation and maintenance of a
mobile-access system.
• Identify the benefits to the various categories of user, arising from the addition of a mobile-
access facility.
Stage 2 Technical Requirements
• Identify the technical requirements of the system. This should relate to the usage
requirements of the various types of user, and the number of users in each category.
For example, what is the total bandwidth requirement? What level of security is required?
How many concurrent users need to be expected? What proportion of the complex needs
coverage? etc.
• Discuss any conflicts that arise between the various technical requirements.

Stage 3 Design
• Produce a cellular design map showing the geographical aspects of the cellular network,
including cell size, cell overlap and coverage.
• Produce a topological design, showing how the wireless part of the network would be
integrated into the wired backbone network.

Stage 4 Devices
• What devices will be required to construct the network?
• What devices will users connect to the network?
• What are the technical capabilities and limitations of users’ devices, and how do these
issues affect the design requirements?

Note. You are not expected to actually implement the system.

Stage 5 Critical Evaluation

You should summarise the outcome of your coursework, concentrating on:
• Conclusions that can be drawn from the work you have carried out.
• A critical evaluation of the design process and the final design, e.g. discussion about the
design and development processes and how the product and process quality were ensured at
each stage. Make clear what you would do differently if you were to repeat the coursework
again.
• A reflection of your learning experience. You must be specific and not just say ‘I learned a
lot about this or that …’ but say exactly what you did learn. Include other points such as
time management issues and technical issues. .

3. Deliverables and Grading Criteria

The focus of this exercise should be on the specific issues arising from the provision of mobile
access, including communications systems hardware and software requirements.
