5/7/2008- Summary of Richard Thesis Defense

Tough questions/comments made by professors:

1, What principles do you use to classify/verify/***? (You have to have a principle to identify your methodology- why you use this software, why you choose this method?)

2, Why/How you design the scenario? ---> First you should identify the problems, and then you can set up the procedures!
(Base scenario - > scenario+evacuation without improvements => where is the problem? where is the congestion? how you wanna solve it?)

3, How serious? Identify priority!

4, Design of the study - > Must respond to the objectives which were identified in the first? Your study process/method should connect to your objectives/problems!

5, Need to do comparison! Why you choose this software?

6, What is the uniqueness of this research? What is your contribution/ benifit?

7, Should spell out all the unique features of your problems/situation and how the model can handle them!

8, Your research should either be techniqually sound or pratically useful!
