‘Phrasing’ the Title

You know what you are about of doing, yet, didn’t know how to express the others of what you are going to do.. The simplest way is by stating your title. But, how to put words to form the title?

First thing I would suggest is understand (really understand) of what you are doing.
Lets look an example here.

Ahmad whats to do develop a systm that can detect either a chicken has any disease or not. The system will check the chicken (find symptoms of disease) and will gives result.

What is Ahmad going to do? develop a system
What kind of system? identify disease
For Whom? Chicken
Any method identified? Not yet

=> Development of Chicken’s disease identification system
Be concern of words used. Understand the meaning f words used. Since if you are using the wrong words it might gives a different view to others.
So here, the word identify/identification, is it the correct word?

Identify - Biology To determine the taxonomic classification of (an organism).
Diagnose - To identify (a person) as having a particular disease or condition by means of a diagnosis.
Evaluation - To examine and judge carefully; appraise.

Disease and diagnose can be in the same group. Both can be in the medical term. Think back of what Ahmad going to do, does the rythm is the same?

Title might change as you are doing your project. But you are not encourage to do so. Perhaps changing the field/area/scope of study, I should say, avoid.
As conclusion, understand what you are doing.

Finding a Topic

It is a difficult task to those who do not know what to do, what should do,…
In finding a title I would suggest you to do readings.
What to read?

  1. Various computing areas. Find that interest you.

Where to read?

  1. Journals
  2. Proceedings
  3. Magazine
  4. Newspapers
  5. Online references - blogs, wikipedia

Do remember, this is the phases where you are about getting ideas of what you are doing so it doesn’t matters where the sources of your references are from.

You are also encourage to talk to people - expert, colleague/peers, who ever to get ideas.

Analyse the environment around you. Feel the existing problems that needs solutions.

Thats might help u for the beginning.. Its a long journey to comes…
