COMPUTER SYSTEMS RESEARCH
Fall/Spring 2007 - 2008
Background Literature Review for your project
- Identify a research area that relates to your project.
- Perform literature reviews, background readings for your project.
Example computer science research areas (no particular order to these):
- ScienceDirect from
online databases,
TJHSST Library (if you're using a school computer you have automatic access to these databases)
- Scholar.google.com
- University CS department examples
- CS research papers examples
- Computer Graphics, 3D realism
- Artificial Intelligence: Computer Music, Data Mining, Machine Learning,
Robotics applications, evolutionary programming,
particle swarm optimization (PSO),
MASON agent based toolkit
- Computer Vision
- Systems and Languages: Computer Architecture, Databases, Distributed Systems,
Formal Methods and Software engineering, Networking, Operating Systems, Parallel Systems, Programming Languages
- Theory: Algorithms, Complexity Theory, Semantics
- Computational Biology: Computational Molecular Biology,
computational linguistics,
computational paleontology
- Human-Computer Interaction: Cognitive Modeling
- Educational Technologies: Object oriented techniques, TJForge Iodine (student Intranet)
- Language Technologies: Computer Aided Language Learning, , Computational Linguistics,

- High Performance computing
- Software engineering
- Agent Based modeling, social science modeling (see MASON toolkit)
- Open Source/Collaborative projects such as found on SourceForge
- Applications Software such as Matlab or BLAST
(BLAST is used in Biotech: Basic Local Alignment Search Tool)
- Multi-agent Modeling using MASON, Netlogo, Swarm, Repast, or similar software; Example current project with GMU/Smithsonian -
Inner Asia BC civilization modeling (will use MASON)
- Locate a research paper(s), project(s), book(s) that are similar to your interest.
- Title(s):
- Abstract(s) - describe in several sentences or detailed bullets the focus and goal(s).
- What is the analysis being done, how is the project analyzed, tested, evaluated?
- (If this fits) - What are the conclusions/results? Are there areas for continued research? (if this can be determined)
- Link to this project(s) and to the paper (if a link exists to the paper):
- (If this information is available)- What software (computer languages) was used.
- What software (computer language(s)) are you using?
