This page has been created so that all the alumni of ITBHU-CSE can help out the current students in getting some good and useful work done as a part of their final year B.Tech Projects. Please feel free to add what you think may turn out to be a good topic for a prospective BTP along with some references. If you are really interested in helping out the students, leave your contact as well.

The TinyOS Project:
----------------------
One of the most interesting topics on which the 4th yr guys can start working is OS for sensor networks. It is one of the hottest topics of research going worldwide and I think has wide scope of research. The best thing about this is that u wont need any costly infrastructure for that, a few linux PCs and few sensor motes(not very costly) will do the job. You can find lots of research ideas on it on the internet, one important place for this is the TinyOS research page at Berkeley going under Prof. David Culler. For all your queries and doubts u can mail to the corresponding mailing list (one of the most active ones) at the site. Best of luck to all u guys in ur endeavors.

GloMoSim
------------
You can also look at the GloMoSim simulator (google for GloMoSim+UCLA). It is a nice tool for people working in wireless networks. A group can select a problem/protocol and implement/improve it. The simulations can be done nicely in GloMoSim.
Best Wishes

Data Mining
--------------
Hi, If any one interested I have one project in my mind.Project is releted to Data Mining.Its textual Table Parser. Given a simple text file of any size that have textual as well as tabular data your software should be able to identified the start and end of table including header and also should be able to parse its each and every cell. If any of you interested and want to see sample files let me know.
Thanks

Advice
--------

Hi,
I have seen couple of emails, to suggest what should be the project topic for BTP. Well guys, this is your project, so you have to decide it yourself. Question is how to select a topic. And there is only one answer to this question. Read Research papers.. Select an area of interest and read papers published in top conferences, some of them are (INFOCOM, SIGCOMM, MOBICOM, MOBIHOC, ICDE, ICDCS, VLDB, ACM Mulitmedia).
Read papers and try to think if you can improve above their work. Believe me there is fault in each and every work. Question is whether you can find them. From my part i am ready to help you guys in getting the research papers. So be specific about the paper you request and name of authors and conference, year of publication etc.
Although proffs are always there to help you, i can give you some suggestions, if you present your idea in a clear written mail to me. But you have to come up with an idea urself. No one can help you there. If you don't understand something in the paper, you can contact authors of the paper.

So the key thing is, NO SPOON FEEDING and there is not alternative to HARD WORK.
This will be helpful to the students who plan to pursue MS or Phd, because this is what you will be doing in your graduate life.

I hope it helps.

VOIP Security
----------------

One of the hot topics these days in VOIP field is security in VOIP networks. SIP is now more popular and being a peer to peer protocol raises several new security concerns. Think in terms of both internal LAN security and WAN security.

You may Google with some of these keywords:
VOIP security, VOIP NAT traversal, STUN, SIPS, ... and find many more keywords as you do so.

Choose a topic you want to pursue further. It is much more interesting if you find a vulnerability and come up with an idea of your own or modify an existing idea to deal with and do some simulated experiments to show why your method is comparable/better in certain cases.

Maybe a lot of work but maybe fun also :-)

Ideas in Cryptography
-------------------------
Hi,
Me and Omkant pandey have some project ideas on security and cryptography. Contact me if you are interested. These are research ideas likely to lead to a publication.

More on VoIP
---------------
I liked the idea posted by Satyam Tyagi on VOIP security. I am also involved in the same area for last few years now. Students can start with a basic setup of VOIP and then look for the means of breaking it and protecting it. The VOIP setup doesn't involve any costly equipments. You just need two multimedia PCs to make a peer to peer VOIP phone call. You can add any number of PCs to grow your VOIP network. You can also start with either VMWare or virtual PC to simulate multiple PCs on the same machine. You can Email me for any software or references to start with this project. I can assure you that it will be a fun project that can also give you a lot of indepth knowledge of IP Telephony and networking. You can also look at my website to get some good links on VOIP.
