Outline • Thesis and Project Requirements • Thesis and Project Guidelines • Thesis Structure • Schedule for Summer/2554 S. Kungpisdan
Thesis Requirements • Research oriented • At least 1 publication from national or international conference • Examined by a group of committees including at least one external committee • High potential for PhD study • Need time to do research S. Kungpisdan
Thesis Guideline • Research a couple of broad interesting areas • Searching for a supervisor • Discuss the possibility • Conduct literature review: document every articles read (selected topics will be included in chapter 2) • What people have done, problems and limitations of existing approaches, anything that must be done but haven’t been done • Examine possibilities to conduct research to solve such problems • Looking for a possible conference • Write a paper • Submit the paper to a conference • Write thesis S. Kungpisdan
Possible National Conferences • The National Computer Science and Engineering Conference 2011 (NCSEC2011) • November 2011 • The Electrical Engineering Conference 2011 • December 2011 • The 4th National Conference on Information Technology 2012 (NCIT2012) • Hosted by MUT!!! • Around May 2012 • The International Joint Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering 2012 (JCSSE2012) • May 2012 • The ECTI Conference on Application Research and Development 2012 (ECTI-CARD2012) • May 2012 S. Kungpisdan
Project Requirements • A practical work, an improvement, solving existing problems, finding a new solution to tackle existing problems • Implementation or experiment of interesting research topic • A case study of a real-world application • No need to write a research paper, but get dirty with technologies • Examined by internal committees • Demonstration required • A bit difficult for PhD study, different focus S. Kungpisdan
Project Areas • Start from scratch • Involve a great deal of research and programming works • A prototype with experimental results needed • Combinations or Modifications of open-source tools • Able to explain necessity of using open-source tools • Modifications and some customizations needed, not only install and go • A practical implementation is a MUST!!... Need to have a real system as a case study • Document oriented • Using off-the-shelf tools for experiment • A practical implementation is a MUST!!... Need to have a real system as a case study S. Kungpisdan
