Woddlab Grads,

Please, download any of these sample past proposals that I had vetted and use as a guide for what needs to be provided in your own thesis proposal. None of these is still perfect, but would adhere to a large extent to my standards and call for in-depth literature review of existing system with example input data to run through the algorithms in order to produce desired results. Discussing the existing system algorithms with example tracing will expose their limitations so that thesis contributions will be clear, specific and with some original (even if small) contributions in the areas of data mining and databases and in our specific areas of research of sequential pattern mining, web data extraction and application mining techniques to emerging applications and domains such as big multiple databases, social network analysis and education. It is important to state existing systems being used and to what extent and what thesis is adding to these existing methods to solve specific new features.
