Literature Survey Report

December 2, 2017Uncategorized

Practice Activity 1

1. Choose a topic and use 3-5 key words to describe your topic

2. Search your key words in

IEEE xplore (http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/journmag/index.html ),

ACM website (http://www.acm.org/publications), or

Google.

Select 20-30 papers to read only titles and abstracts and learn some terms to replace your previous key words. Repeat this step till you have retrieved the right papers that may comprise techniques for resolving your problem. If you cannot find techniques to resolve your problem, change the problem to an easier one.

3. Select an interesting algorithm or method after reading some papers. Try to understand it, use your own words to describe its main idea. You can plot a figure to help explain it.

4. Find an application of the existing algorithm you focus on. Point out what’s limitation when you apply this algorithm to the application. (You can list a lot of applications and analyse the feasibility of applying this algorithm.)

Discussion Activity

1. What is your career plan? to be a cloud security engineer, data analyst, network engineer, software engineer, internet engineer, game engineer or others?

2. What do you want to contribute? Apply an existing algorithm to an application? Modify an existing algorithm? or Create a new algorithm that may call the function of an existing algorithm as a small part of it?

Practice Activity 2

1. Write 2-3 paragraphs to introduce the background under your topic by summarising the knowledge in the literatures that you have read.

What are typical applications in this field, what are the technical challenges? how do existing methods approach challenges? what is still not resolved yet or not resolved well by already known methods?

2. Focus on analysis of 5-10 literatures.

Step 1. Describe each method in these literatures using your own words. You need to present the main idea, the strong points and weak points in technique details.

Step 2. Classify 5-10 methods into 2-3 groups. For a group, merge similar methods into a section/subsection. For each section, use one paragraph to summarise their common techniques and compare them to explain how their mechanism are different. It is better to logically connect each method; for example, you can mention “Method 2 improves Method 1 in two aspects and I explain as follows…”.

Step 3. Discuss what is the advantages and disadvantages of one group of techniques. List their limitations and theoretically analyze the possibility to overcome them. Choose one as your research problem that you will approach.
