General suggestions:

• think about the reader. Be considerate. Think about who your thesis is directed to, think about your target reader and try to write a thesis that is easy to understand and is informative enough for the reader it is intended to- readers are busy, just like everybody. try to be clear, concise, and to the point. Do not try to add material just because you want to make your thesis bigger. Each sentence you write, you are asking the reader to spend time reading it and spend effort trying to understand it. again, be considerate
  

• do not use double spacing, do not include a "list of figures" or a "list of tables" that nobody ever looks at.

• try to think carefully about any sentence. each sentence you write must be clear, must have a purpose in terms of communicating useful information (or making the reading more pleasant).

• Each sentence needs to be carefully positioned. sentences are not placed at random in the document. They are in a certain position, within a certain section and within a certain paragraph, because that's the best possible place to put it to communicate a certain concept

• many people just browse the thesis. that's a fact of life.... so try to keep this in mind. also, readers are like kids. this includes professors. This means that they are attracted to figures. a good number of clear, readable, informative figures helps a lot towards a good thesis

• EXAMPLES. people really understand concepts when you write examples side by side the concepts you are explaining. keep this in mind when writing the thesis

• consider doing FIRST the presentation, then the thesis. when writing, think at how you would present the topic, and just write in the same way
  

Structure of the thesis:

this is not a rule, it is a suggestion that applies to many cases. Then again, each case is different and your case may require a different structuring.
again, this is not a hard rule. is something you can use if it helps with the writing. normally,thesis and especially introductions are very very confused, so some structuring often helps.

1. introduction (try to keep it to 3-4 pages)

1.1 background and motivation

the problem we are trying to solve. the business and IT context. why is it a problem, which technological advances make it such that now it is possible to solve it

1.2 Goal of the work - benefits and results
Why with the work in your thesis the world is a better place. who benefits from it and how.

Which concrete results you deliver that make it possible to achieve the benefits. If you are describing a bigger system, also specify which benefits and results come from your thesis

1.3 Approach
the approach you followed, in a nutshell. how do you achieve the results.


1.4 Structure of the thesis

here you would put one paragraph per chapter, saying what is in that chapter

 ===> after reading the intro, the reader should have very clear what you do, why, and how

 2. Motivating Scenario
an example, a case study that you will use throughout the thesis to introduce the concept.

3. State of the Art

4....

5....

6.....

7. Architecture and Implementation


8. Summary of results and findings - summary of contributions and lessons learned

Writing Process:

- don't arrive at the last minute.... give us time to read and give you feedback
