I need help in finding an existing algorithm that is used in an existing application.
And then I should find bugs / errors / problems on the said existing algorithm so I could enhance it and I should come up with a new and enhanced application.
It is the main course of my thesis. Any suggestions? I am capable of using C, C++, VB6 and Access.
Thanks.
Jump to PostLinux is written in C. Look at its scheduling algorithm and see how it could be improved.

How about VB stuffs? It's what I'm good at.
i would suggest to go through various fields of computer science were algorithms are extensivesly applied ( i.e almost all the fields ) find your area of interest in them and then find what has been done in that particular field
ie the scope , recent tech etc
Finally according to your caliber , select a topic and understand the current implementation of algorithm and then u jump into making your own ,in a better way.
Algorithms are not dependent on Programming languages , any language (almost ) can execute a particular algorithm , it all comes down to logic which u must develop in order to enhance existing algorithm.
later u can think of performance issues , if a particular language isnt as scalable as you wanted it to be.
^ Rephrasing part of what he said, if you can make algorithm X run faster in VB by making some change to X producing X', odds are - if you changed something fundamental - X' will run faster than X in other languages, too.
