Computer Science is facing a major roadblock to further research. The problem is most evident with students, but afflicts many researchers as well: people simply have a tough time inventing research topics that sound sufficiently profound and exciting. Many PhD students waste needless years simply coming up with a thesis topic. And researchers often resort to reading documents from government grant agencies so they will know what to work on for the next proposal!
Good news for the CS community: the problem has at last been solved.
The table below provides the answer.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| | | |
| integrated | mobile | network |
| parallel | functional | preprocessor |
| virtual | programmable | compiler |
| interactive | distributed | system |
| responsive | logical | interface |
| synchronized | digital | protocol |
| balanced | concurrent | architecture |
| virtual | knowledge-based | database |
| meta-level | multimedia | algorithm |
| optimized | binary | toolkit |
| active | object-oriented | display |
| parameterized | secure | technology |
| conceptual | high-speed | solution |
| scalable | real-time | language |
| dynamic | functional | agent |
| high-level | parallelizing | theorem prover |
| collaborative | watermarking | work cluster |
| type-safe | proxy | cache |
To generate a technical phrase, randomly choose one item from each
column.
For example, selecting synchronized from column 1, secure
from column 2, and protocol from column 3 produces:
| for |
| related to |
| derived from |
| applied to |
| embedded in |
