● Submission Date: 22 December 2021
Vacation Home Rental Online Marketplace (VHROM).
1. Abstract
● A brief summary (around 250-300 words) of the entire paper.
● It should cover the project's purpose, key features, methodology, main findings, and
conclusions.
2. Introduction
● Background: Briefly introduce the concept of online rental marketplaces and the
growing demand for vacation homes.
● Problem Statement: Identify the gap or need your VHROM aims to address (e.g.,
lack of a user-friendly platform, insufficient security in existing systems, specific
niche focus).
● Project Objectives: Clearly state the main goals of your project (e.g., to design a
functional VHROM, to implement secure payment gateways, to ensure a seamless
user experience for both renters and homeowners).
● Scope: Define the boundaries of your project. What features will be included? What
will be excluded? (e.g., focusing on a specific geographic region initially, specific
types of properties).
● Significance: Explain the importance and potential impact of your project.
● Report Organization: Briefly outline the structure of the term paper.
3. Literature Review / Related Works
● Overview of Existing Systems: Analyze current vacation rental platforms (e.g.,
Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com). Discuss their strengths and weaknesses.
● Relevant Technologies and Methodologies: Review literature on web development
frameworks (e.g., MERN, MEAN, Django, Ruby on Rails), database technologies
(SQL, NoSQL), payment gateway integration, security best practices in web
applications, and UI/UX design principles for marketplaces.
● Theoretical Background: Discuss concepts like two-sided markets, trust and
reputation systems in online platforms, and user engagement strategies.
4. System Analysis and Design (Methodology)
● Requirements Specification:
○ Functional Requirements: Detail what the system will do (e.g., user
registration/login, property listing, search and filtering, booking system,
payment processing, review and rating system, admin panel).
○ Non-Functional Requirements: Describe how the system will perform (e.g.,
security, usability, performance, scalability, reliability).
● System Architecture:
○ Provide a high-level overview of the system architecture (e.g., client-server,
microservices, three-tier architecture).
○ Include diagrams like Use Case Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Activity
Diagrams, and System Architecture Diagrams.
● Database Design:
○ Describe the database schema (e.g., Entity-Relationship Diagram - ERD).
○ Justify the choice of database (e.g., SQL vs. NoSQL).
● Technology Stack Justification: Explain the reasons for choosing specific
programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools.
● UI/UX Design:
○ Describe the design principles followed.
○ Include wireframes or mockups of key interfaces.
5. Implementation
● Development Environment: Specify the tools and platforms used for development
(IDE, version control, etc.).
● Module Development: Describe the development of key modules/features:
○ User Authentication and Profile Management
○ Property Listing and Management
○ Search and Filtering Engine
○ Booking and Reservation System
○ Payment Gateway Integration
○ Review and Rating System
○ Admin Dashboard
● Challenges Encountered and Solutions: Discuss any technical or design challenges
faced during implementation and how they were overcome.
● Key Algorithms or Logic: Highlight any complex algorithms or business logic
implemented.
6. Testing
● Testing Strategies: Describe the types of testing performed (e.g., unit testing,
integration testing, system testing, user acceptance testing - UAT).
● Test Cases: Provide examples of key test cases.
● Testing Results and Bug Fixing: Summarize the findings from the testing phase and
how bugs were addressed.
7. Results and Discussion
● System Evaluation: Evaluate the developed VHROM against the initial objectives
and requirements.
● Key Features Demonstration: Highlight and discuss the functionality of the
implemented features.
● Performance Analysis (if applicable): Discuss aspects like load time,
responsiveness, etc.
● Usability Assessment: Discuss user feedback if UAT was conducted.
● Limitations of the Current System: Acknowledge any shortcomings or features not
implemented.
8. Conclusion and Future Work
● Summary of Achievements: Briefly reiterate the project's accomplishments.
● Conclusion: Conclude whether the project objectives were met.
● Future Enhancements: Suggest potential future improvements and features (e.g.,
mobile app development, AI-based recommendations, integration of virtual tours,
advanced analytics for hosts).
● Lessons Learned: Reflect on the learning experience during the project.
9. References
● List all the academic papers, books, websites, and other resources cited in your term
paper using a consistent citation style (e.g., APA, IEEE).
10. Appendices (Optional)
● Include supplementary materials like:
○ Full source code snippets for critical modules.
○ Detailed diagrams that were too large for the main body.
○ User manuals.
○ Survey questionnaires (if used).
