A
key part is any research project is understand
the current limits of the research activity, and
thus the focus of current and future research.
For this the first activity is often to find as
many research papers in the field of research.
This has several objective: to determine the current
limits of the technology, the researchers who
are involved in the research area, and how your
own work will fit into other people's work. One
of the best research search engines for Computing
and Engineering is INSPEC. For this you should
goto the Edina site [Edina
site], and select the INSPEC
database. Next you can search for keywords in
your research area. If possible try to get the
paper reference, and save the abstract, for future
reference.
