Hello
Am current following my final year for a Masters degree, and need as part of the programme to submit a project next year.

Am however undecided on what to do so far, and would be grateful if some of you could suggest some possible specific titles related to these 2 fields:

1. Cloud computing/green computing (not related to security issues thou)
2. Mobile computing

A practical Masters project in cloud/green computing or mobile computing should target a narrow, measurable problem and show a working prototype plus repeatable evaluation. The thread already leans in useful directions: pointed toward energy-focused mobile-cloud work, suggested a mobile authentication angle, and ’s tip to pick and implement a published paper is a pragmatic way to guarantee novelty and supervision support. Projects that reuse common stacks (Android, OpenStack/Kubernetes, Raspberry Pi, CloudSim) tend to attract supervisors because the engineering risk is lower.

  • Energy-Aware VM Scheduling for Green Clouds — implement a placement/consolidation policy (OpenStack or CloudSim) and measure energy, latency and SLA violations versus a baseline.
  • Edge-Assisted Mobile Offloading with Energy-Delay Tradeoffs — Android client + local edge VM, deliver an offloading decision engine and battery/latency results.
  • Solar-Powered Micro-Cloud for Intermittent Mobile Services — Raspberry Pi cluster prototype; measure uptime, request success rate and energy per request.
  • Predictive Autoscaling to Reduce Cloud Energy — workload-forecasting model hooked into a Kubernetes autoscaler simulator; evaluate energy savings and SLO impact.
  • Adaptive Mobile Video Streaming with Cloud-Assisted Encoding — prototype server/client, measure device energy, bandwidth use and QoE.
  • Context-Aware Transparent Authentication for Mobile Users — implement a low-friction auth pipeline and report accuracy, latency and energy cost.
  • Reproducible Energy Benchmark Suite for Mobile-Cloud Research — produce scripts, datasets and reference experiments for future studies.

Scope and evaluation plan: start with a 2-page problem statement and one clear hypothesis. Reproduce 1–2 related papers as baselines, build a minimal prototype, instrument for energy and performance (battery percent over fixed workload, joules where possible, latency, throughput, accuracy), run repeated trials and report statistical summaries. Use a small real-device testbed plus simulators to broaden scenarios.

To secure supervision, present a short proposal listing objectives, three concrete deliverables (prototype, experiments, writeup), required platforms, and a simple timeline. Framing the work as reproducible engineering with measurable metrics makes supervisor buy-in far more likely.

May be u are a pro in coming up with titles or things like this, but am not, as the topic I want to do has no one at the university who can supervise, and thus I need to try to come up with a topic which eventually a supervisor will be available for, and in doing so, am venturing into a completely unknown and dark alley, as no supervisor as well is giving a suggestion to what he/she really wants as development project on the related titles I mentioned in my first post, and both by the way are new for me, but thanks again for your "useful" comments

I think that the point is that we expect someone in the final year of a Masters degree to be a pretty capable person. Most people don't have a Masters degree so we expect you to be among the elite of educated people in society. Education is more than just learning a very narrow set of skills. It is also about being able to think and to tackle new challenges. You are but the latest in a long line of people with similar requests. That is part of the reason why you got some cynical responses. Seeing as many of these requests as we have has led us to the implicit question: "Is there something wrong with these programs or is there something wrong with the people going into them."
The results don't seem to be consistent with our expectations. If you had already done some analysis of the pros and cons of doing these particular topics and you were looking for some input to confirm your thinking or identify possible challenges that you hadn't considered, then that wouldn't be unreasonable and you probably would have had a warmer reception. We expect posts that say: "I have to do a project and I don't know what to do" from 15 year old's in High School. We don't expect it from people completing a Masters program.
