Problem description:	This thesis focusses on the societal challenges related to Digital Inclusion. Though mobile networks have the potential of reaching everyone, the reality is that roughly 3.5 Billion people are not connected to the Internet. Being left-out from the Digital Society removes the capabilities for reaching higher levels of the Maslow pyramid, e.g. meaningfull work. The thesis will focus on innovation for all, based on the concept of free access to information. The hypothesis is that access to information, being text, pictures and local video, and the connectivity to a local village server will foster digital inclusion. Special attention is drawn to content fostering innovation for all, and the relation to the Sustainable Development Goals of the Agenda 2030
Methods and Tools:	The tools and methods in this thesis are based on A set of scenario, describing the challenges A list of requirements being extracted from the scenarios A description and evaluation of technologies and tools being candidates for solutions A functional architecture/description of the envisaged system An implementation of the core concepts A demonstration of the solution An evaluation of the solution, including a critical review of the descisions taken earlier Conclusions References
Time schedule	The envisaged time schedule (for a long thesis/60 ECTS) is: T0 0 starting month, T0+m denotes the month where the contribution to a certain chapter shalle be finalized T0+2 months: create an initial page describing the scenario T0+3: Provide a list of technologies which you think are necessary for the thesis T0+4: Establish the table of content (TOC) of the envisaged thesis. Each section shall contain 3-10 keywords describing the content of that section T0+7: Provide a draft of section 2 (scenario) and 3 (technologies) T0+10: Establish a draft on what to implement/architecture T0+11: Set-up an implementation, testing and evaluation plan T0+15: Evaluate your solution based on a set of parameters, keep in mind there is no such thing as a free lunch T0+17: Deliver the thesis
Pre-Knowledge	This thesis includes an understanding of the principles of innovation, market aspects and socio-economic factors.

Red line

Your thesis should have a "red line", which is visible throughout the whole thesis. This means you should mention in the beginning of each chapter how the chapter contributes to the "goals of the thesis".

Use of scientific methods

A thesis follows a standard method:

• describe the problem (problemstilling)
• extract the challenges. These challenges should be measurable, e.g. method is too slow to be useful to voice handover.
• Analyse technology with respect to challenges. Don't write & repeat "everything" from a certain technology, concentrate on those parts (e.g. protocols) which are of importance for your problem

References

• Wikipedia is good to use to get an overview on what is happening. But there is not scientific verification of Wikipedia, thus you should use wikipedia only in the introduction of a chapter (if you use text from wikipedia). Use scientific literature for your thesis.
• Scientific library is "at your hand", you can get there directly from UiO: [[How to get access to IEEE, Springer and other scientific literature -> Unik/UiOLibrary]]
• I suggest that references to web pages, e.g. OASIS, W3C standards, are given in a footnote. Only if you find white papers or other .pdf documents on a web page then you refer to them in the reference section.

Evaluation of own work

Perform an evaluation of your own work. Revisit the challenges and discuss in how you fulfilled them. Provide alternative solution and discuss what should be done (or what could have been done).
