Hi.

This is my problem really. Nothing in particular excited me when I was in uni. I mean I loved having a problem to work on, but frankly I could have cared less about the area! It's all about solving a problem for me ...

I suppose I can narrow it down by pointing out my lack of resources. I can't, for example, presume to embark upon any study that will require any hardware more specialised than a PC.

I do like writing software. I'm not afraid of maths at all, but I'm limited in my education. My plan would be to learn what I need.

I'm trying to think of something to do with mobile devices maybe, given the imminent proliferation of iphones and androids ...

Really, I'll take any reasonably specific idea that anybody has and look in to it!

Thanks.

Hi,

My background is computer science. I have been out of academia for some time now but would like to get back and start work on a PhD thesis. Alas I have no topic ideas.

Can anyone suggest a topic (and recommend the corresponding must-read papers)? I'm not imposing any restrictions on the subject. I will consider anything so long as my work could actually be relevant!

Thanks.
