Hi All,
Please tell me a good research idea to do a good project for my final year within 6 months. This is for my BSc Software Engineering degree. Its going to be an individual project and it would be great if its a research idea. :S

I'm good in java, PHP, SQL, Groovy on Grails. Or pls let me know a site or anything where I can get some new ideas of doing a project.

Regards,
Ushi

A clear research project in 6 months needs a tight scope, an explicit question you can measure, and data you can get or create. already has a usable toolset (Java, SQL, Groovy/Grails); was right to point toward automating or improving a real process; and ’s ontology suggestion points to a good research angle. Below are compact, Java-friendly ideas you can pick and shape into a 6-month plan, plus practical scoping tips.

Ontology-driven domain assistant (build on the semantic idea). Pick a narrow domain (course advising, product specs, medical symptoms). Create an OWL ontology, populate a small knowledge base, expose a SPARQL endpoint with a Java stack, and add a rule reasoner for inferred answers. Research goal: measure retrieval/decision accuracy and user-perceived usefulness versus a baseline keyword search. Deliverables: ontology, Jena/OWL-based service, small UI, evaluation results.

Code-plagiarism detector for student submissions. Parse submissions with a Java parser, normalize code (remove whitespace, rename identifiers), compare using AST fingerprints or token winnowing, and visualize matches. Research angle: robustness against obfuscation/refactoring and false-positive rate. Deliverables: parser pipeline, similarity metrics, test corpus, precision/recall analysis.

Lightweight anomaly-detection pipeline for sensor streams. Implement feature extraction and compare several Java ML libraries/algorithms on small datasets (isolation forest, statistical baselines). Research goal: detection accuracy under low-sample regimes and noisy data. Deliverables: ingestion + model suite, dashboard, quantitative comparisons.

Practical tips: pick one idea and limit scope tightly; get or create a small gold-standard dataset early; always implement a simple baseline to compare against; log experiments for reproducibility; schedule: month 1 design/dataset, months 2–4 core implementation, month 5 experiments/tuning, month 6 write-up and polish.

I don't know a site where you can find cheap ideas to solve for free, but try to thing of a process you could automate or improve on that exists and apply your coding knowledge. That could be a start. What sort of research do you mean; as a basis for your code?

Actually what I mean by reserch ideas is, my university gives more marks for the people who does some innovative ideas by doing some researches. E.g., one person did a system which can choose the best pair of spectacles just by capturing a picture of a person, and someone did a project which recognizes the tree of a particular leaf just by scanning it.
Something like that which can be done in 6months individually. :(

you could start working with OntoBroker even i am too researching on this projects.
u could help me and i can help you

Thanx Manish,,,, I will look in to this topic whether I can do it. Because I have no idea about this.

this is basicaly a research on crawling like google crawls the web page as it fallow the same procedure
and we need to follow 4 tier architecture
