Hello all,
My name is Harsh and i am a senior software engineer working for one of the largest R&D companies in India. I have done my Bachelors in Computer Science and have been working for 4 years now. Mostly i have worked with JAVA, J2EE, Eclipse etc.

I have decided to prepare and apply for a PhD by 2011 end. I want to prepare thoroughly for my research topic. I want to do a research in a PRACTICAL ORIENTED topic than theoretical in Computer Science.

I have an inclination towards Software Engineering (Let me know if it is practical oriented) , but other topics suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks
Harsh

If you are not able to find a suitable research topic by yourself, you should really think of doing a PhD again. Doing a PhD means doing research and unfortunately it seems that you are not capable of doing research.

I suggest that you start doing your research proposal by reading journal articles related to CS and SE and especially the sections "conclusions and further research" of those articles to find out other researchers' conclusions on interesting future research topics.

I am afraid that nobody is going to give you a ready research proposal title here.

Hey
Thanks for your honest reply. I am interested in research. I am going to apply for PhD in 2011 end. This one year time i want to utilize for my research proposal. Do you have any links where i can start.
Thanks
Harsh
