The field of information technology is constantly evolving. In the days before computers, a letter from Sidney, Australia to New York City would take months to be delivered; today it takes seconds. With new technologies come new possibilities – and new problems. Much has already been written about this technology, and a myriad of topics exists for essays. The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology is a good resource to get ideas about possible topics to write about.
Security and Cryptography
The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology affirms that computer security is a significant topic to write about. Analysing how identity thieves use the Internet and how they are stopped makes for an interesting research paper. Some areas to discuss are phishing scams, email Trojans, and key log trackers. In the never ending cat-and-mouse game played by thieves and security agencies, you can discuss how modern security methods stop and catch thieves.
Parallel Query Optimization
You can write about how databases retrieve information. For example, a person who has invented a device first has to do a search to make sure the device hasn’t been patented already. The United States Patent Office (USPTO) uses “and” and “or” statements in its public patent search area. If an inventor has an idea for a new type of paint brush, he would type in “paint” AND “brush” to search the database only for “paint brush.” If he was to use “paint” OR “brush” the database would return results for any patents that contains the word “paint” or any patents that contains the word “brush” as well.
Optimized Video Streaming
When the Internet was in its infancy, all connections were dial-up. This was extremely slow, but through a gradual evolution, baud rates (the rate of data transfer) increased dramatically. In 2010 video streaming is possible, with many “tube” sites available for people to upload and download video. Making the data transfer process as fast as possible is a science, and you can write about how that science is currently being used and refined.
