Notes for the Report

– Figures (images or diagrams), tables and quotes are typically very effective
in an essay. Please use them, but only if it adds useful information to your
report. If you do, you must reference the source of the information.
– You are encouraged to create your own figures and tables. If you do, show
that you created them (e.g., “created by First name Surname for
INFO5992”)
– When referring to a figures / tables, make sure appropriate description is
given so that they are understandable – figures / tables contain a lot of
information!
– There is no template – please use a template of your own choice. It is OK
for the text to be either single-spaced or double-spaced.
– Use Harvard or Vancouver referencing style – keep your referencing style
consistent
The University of Sydney Page 10


Notes for the Report

– Sources:
– Read widely; read journal articles (eg online through the library), online
magazines and high quality blogs.
– Using reliable scholarly sources – innovation literature
– Wikipedia is highly variable in quality, derivative and typically not a
good source for your essay (except perhaps for gaining a general
understanding before reading more deeply from the literature or high-
quality blogs)
– Company websites are rarely unbiased descriptions of examples
(though may provide some useful information that should be understood
in its context)
– There are tips on library use (and referencing) at
http://www.library.usyd.edu.au/skills/

2-Way Brain-Computer Interface
Technology 1 (out of 9)

BCI is a type of user interface in which there is a direct communication link
between the brain and an external device. This connection is a two-way
link, or bidirectional. One direction involves sending brain activity to a
computer, and the computer translating brain activity into motor
commands. Communication can also happen in the other direction – where
the computer sends information directly to the brain

serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 16










Generative Artificial Intelligence
Technology 2 (out of 9)

Generative AI generate new, artificial data based on a data distribution
derived from training data. Unlike discriminative AI which evaluates
candidates and discriminates between different kinds of data instances,
generative AI generate new data instances. Generative AI can generate
new images, natural language, code, human speech and more.

serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 17










Nanosatellites
Technology 3 (out of 9)

Nanosatellites are small satellites that are deployed to low-earth orbit (LEO) at
an altitude of between 160 to 2,000km for a range of missions, including earth
observation (imaging), communication, and PNT (positioning, navigation &
timing). Unlike traditional satellites that are large and heavy, nanosatellites are
small, light, cheaper and faster to manufacture, and easier to launch. A network
of nanosatellites can provide continuous, global coverage and may prove to be
superior compared to current alternatives.

serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 18










Federated Learning
Technology 4 (out of 9)

Federated Learning enables the training of machine learning models
across multiple decentralised edge devices or servers holding local
training data. It allows separate edge devices to collaboratively learn a
shared model while keeping all training data on individual devices. This is
contrasted with standard machine learning where the data and training
process is centralised at a central server.

serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 19










Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Technology 5 (out of 9)

Recent years have seen significant advances in the capabilities of artificial
intelligence – being able to produce highly accurate results (e.g. predictions).
However, they are also highly complex, if not outright opaque, rendering their
workings difficult to interpret. There is a need to understand how AI works, and
how and why a particular decision was reached. Explainable AI addresses the
issues of “black-box models” by making AI interpretable, explainable,
transparent, justifiable and contestable.
Students are not allowed to use this description in section one of their assignment. This only
serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 20










DNA Computing and Storage
Technology 6 (out of 9)

DNA Computing and Storage use DNA and biochemistry in place of
silicon or quantum architectures to perform computation and store data.
The data is encoded into synthetic DNA for storage and enzymes enable
processing through chemical reactions. DNA Computing and Storage will
transform data storage, processing parallelism and computing efficiency.
Students are not allowed to use this description in section one of their assignment. This only
serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 21










Differential Privacy
Technology 7 (out of 9)

Differential Privacy enables privacy-preserving data analysis so that
data can be collected, shared and analysed whilst preserving the privacy
of individuals. It applies noise functions of certain characteristics to
datasets or query results so that no specifics of individual records present
in the original dataset are revealed, while simultaneously allowing the
dataset to provide insights through data analytics.
Students are not allowed to use this description in section one of their assignment. This only
serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 22










Electric Smart Grid & Micro-Grid
Technology 8 (out of 9)

Conventional electricity grid is a centralised system that transfers high-voltage power from various
generation stations to sub-stations through transmission lines. This centralised system delivers power
from the generation station to consumers in a uni-directional flow. As Distributed Energy Sources
(such as renewable energy) are integrated to conventional electricity grids, severe supply
fluctuations occur due to variability in the supply of energy from renewable energy sources. These
fluctuations can cause issues with reliability and quality of power and increase the risk of damage
to network infrastructure. Smart Electric Grid enables decentralised generation and distribution of
electricity from distributed sources of energy across the electricity system network, and networks of
localised grids known as Micro-Grids may provide self-sufficient systems for individual communities
that can operate independently.
Students are not allowed to use this description in section one of their assignment. This only
serves as an introduction with the sole purpose of helping students to select a technology. The University of Sydney Page 23










Green Technology
Technology 9 (out of 9)

Green technology refers to any technology which reduces or eliminates
the impact of human activities on the environment with a view to protect
the environment, reverse/repair damage already done to the enrionment,
and conserve the Earth’s natural resources.

Examples of Green Technology include renewable energy, recycling and
waste management, and wastewater treatment.









Business Model Canvas Template































You are not required to use
this specific template from
Strategyzer.

However, you are expected
to present your Business
Model Canvas in the same
format -- in terms of the
relative positions of the
different building blocks.

For example, the Value
Proposition is in the middle
of the canvas, Customer
Segment on the right side
with Customer Relationships
and Channels in-between
and Revenue Streams
expanding across all four
blocks at the bottom.

There is a logical sequence
to the canvas. Refer to the
lecture recording where we
introduce the canvas in the
correct logical sequence.

Academic dishonesty and
plagiarism























The University of Sydney Page 36


Academic dishonesty and plagiarism

• Please read the University policy on Academic Honesty carefully:
http://sydney.edu.au/elearning/student/EI/academic_honesty.shtml
• All cases of academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be investigated
• There is a new process and a centralized University system and database
• Three types of offenses:
• Plagiarism – when you copy from another student, website or other source. This
includes copying the whole assignment or only a part of it.
• Academic dishonesty – when you make your work available to another student
to copy (the whole assignment or a part of it). There are other examples of
academic dishonesty.
• Misconduct - when you engage another person to complete your assignment (or
a part of it), for payment or not. This is a very serious matter and the Policy
requires that your case is forwarded to the University Registrar for investigation.
The University of Sydney Page 37


Penalties

• The penalties are severe and include:
1) a permanent record of academic dishonesty, plagiarism and misconduct in the
University database and on your student file
2) mark deduction, ranging from 0 for the assignment to Fail for the course
3) expulsion from the University and cancelling of your student visa


• Do not confuse legitimate co-operation and cheating! You can discuss the
assignment with another student, this is a legitimate collaboration, but you
cannot complete the assignment together – everyone must write their own
code or report, unless the assignment is group work.
• When there is copying between students, note that both students are
penalised – the student who copies and the student who makes his/her work
available for copying
The University of Sydney Page 38


Detection

• We will use the similarity detection software TurnItIn and MOSS to compare
your assignments with these of other students (current and previous) and
the Internet
• Turnitin is for text documents: http://www.turnitin.com/en_us/higher-education
• MOSS is for programming code: https://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/moss/
• These tools are extremely good!
• e.g. MOSS cannot be fooled by changing the names of the variables or
changing the order of the conditions in if-else statements
• Examples of plagiarism in programming code:
• http://www.upenn.edu/academicintegrity/ai_computercode.html
The University of Sydney Page 39


Student excuses

• All these are cases of plagiarism and academic dishonesty we have seen in
our school
• The student excuses are not acceptable:
• I sat the test and then posted the questions and solutions to my friends whose
test was later in the week. I only wanted to help them understand the concepts
that are examinable.
• I posted parts of my code on my web page (or the group discussion forum)
because my solution was cool (or I wanted to help them). I didn’t expect them to
copy it.
• I tried to do the assignment on my own but I had problems with the extension
part that I couldn’t fix, so I submitted my core part and his extension part. I didn’t
cheat.
• I finished my assignment but my friend had family problems. I felt sorry for her,
so I gave her my assignment as an example. She said she only wanted to have
a look and promised not to copy it.
The University of Sydney Page 40


Students excuses (2)

• The test has finished but the tutor hasn’t collected the papers yet. I showed my
answer to my friend. I didn’t expect him to copy it.
• He is my best friend. I had no choice but to let him copy my assignment.
• I couldn’t find a partner to work in pairs, so I joined their pair as they are my
friends (when only groups of maximum of 2 students are allowed – illegitimate
collaboration).
The University of Sydney Page 41


Key message

• Plagiarism and any form of academic dishonesty will be dealt with, and the
penalties are severe
• We use plagiarism detection systems such as MOSS that are extremely
good. If you cheat, the chances you will be caught are very high.
• If someone asks you to see or copy your assignment, or to complete the
assignment instead of them, just say: I can’t do this - we can both be thrown
out of the University. I will not risk my future by doing this.


Be smart and don’t risk your future by engaging in plagiarism and
academic dishonesty!
