\chapter{Introduction}
Typically 5 pages including the following subsections:
\section{Motivation}
Typically 3 pages to motivate the work
\section{Objetives}
Typically 1 page detailing the objectives of the work. A main objective may
be further refined and subdivided, or you may identify main and additional
objetives.
\section{Contents}
Maximum 1 page with indicating what will the following chapters deal with.
\chapter{Estado del arte}
5 pages or more with a (bibliographical) review of the technical basis of the
work (technologies available or discussed, etc.)
Do not enter into details already explained along the Master lectures.
\chapter{Development 1}
Depending on the Master Thesis you may include 1 to 3 chapters of 5 to 30
pages each one. The decision to separate in chapters the development is often
to separate the spec from design, architecture and implementation, or
to explain different approaches and algorithms, or the different settings and
experiments an the different lab scenarios used, etc.
For development Master Thesis include:
\begin{itemize}
\item Architecture of the programs
\item Modules, packages and libraries
\item Interface description
\item Most important data structures
\item Non trivial algorithms developed
\end{itemize}
You may think that the reader will be another Master student with similar
background to the author, which years later finds herself trying to partially
use, modify or continue the works of this Master Thesis. These chapters are to
provide her with guidance to find out where she has to look for the
different aspects of the work, and also with some explanations of the most
obscure points of the work.
\chapter{Development 2}
\ldots
\chapter{Test Plan/Result Validation}
In a Master Thesis oriented to a development the Test Plan will be typically
included. In more theoretical Master Thesis where a new approach is proposed,
the simulation results or analytical validation will be included here.
The test plan should include the procedures to realize the tests, the criteria
for approval or reject, the organization of tests according to the purposes of
each of them, a relation of the tests and the obtained results.
It is not necessary to include the tests themselves, just the listing with the
description applying the above mentioned criteria.
Try to end the chapter with some discussion on the obtained results that will be included again in chaper \ref{cap:conclusiones}.
\chapter{Planning and Budget Summary}
The chapter can include a Gantt chart to show the duration of the different
tasks and optionally the explanation of the milestones reached. It is very
important to indicate the time consumed in each task.
The budget does not require to be very precise, just an estimation of the
dedication, but should be according to the person/months showed in the
planning/Gantt chart. Give an estimation of student/supervisor monthly cost
(for instance 2k / 4k eur). The material should also be included in the period
used. For example if a 2k eur laptop is used during 10 months, and the
amortization period is 5 years, the cost to the Master Thesis should be
10/60*2K eur=333.33 eur.
\chapter{History}
This part is confidential in professional works, but it is very convenient for
academical purposes, since it allows the author to think over the work and to
learn for the future. This chapter covers how the work was performed, the most
difficult parts, the parts that were not solved and were left appart, the joys
and sorrows. Try to be realistic describing the problems found and the
solutions adopted, or the change of directions of the work.
\chapter{\label{cap:conclusiones}Conclusions and future work}
This chapter is a review of the motivation of the work and how the original
objectives were satisfied with the work performed. Try to be {\textbf
positive} and come back to the most important results obtained.
Try to remark the most original and creative aspects of the work.
Given the academic nature of the work, you may also include the negative
aspects but try to rephrase them as future work, explaining why some objetive
was not accomplished due to unexpected difficulties, unsufficiently valorated,
lack of support, material, or any other required resources. Anyway, if this is
not the case and all the objectives were fulfilled, the future work will be
your answer to the question: ``What else would I do with more time?'' If
possible, try to justify your interest on the identified extnsions (because it
is more usable, or because it will be demanded by the society or the market,
etc.
