2. Explore and elaborate idea for their project
3. Formulate at least three project conceptualization
3. Discussion
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND INITIATION:
A project is identified when someone in the organization identifies a business need to build a system. Example of
business needs include supporting a new marketing campaign, reaching out to a new type of customer, or improving
interactions with suppliers. Sometimes, needs arise from some kind of pain within the organization, such as a drop in
market share, poor customer service levels, unacceptable product defect rates, or increased competition. New
business initiatives and strategies may be created and as system to support them is required, or a merger or
acquisition may require systems to be integrated.
Business needs also can surface when the organization identifies unique and competitive ways of using IT. Many
organizations keep an eye on emerging technology, which is technology that is still being developed and not yet viable
for widespread business use. For example, if companies stay abreast of technological advances such as cloud
computing, RFID (radio frequency identification), or Web 2.0, they can develop business strategies that leverage the
capabilities of these technologies and introduce them into the marketplace as a first mover. Ideally, companies can take
advantage of this first mover position by making money and continuing to innovate while competitors trail behind.
RESEARCH AREAS:
1. Natural Language Processing a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with analyzing, understanding and
generating the languages that humans use naturally in order to interface with computers in both written and
spoken contexts using natural human languages instead of computer languages.
2. Intelligent Systems Decision Support Systems, Expert Systems, etc.
3. Mobile Applications - is a type of application software designed to run on a mobile device, such as a
smartphone or tablet computer. Mobile applications frequently serve to provide users with similar services to
those accessed on PCs. Apps are generally small, individual software units with limited function. This use of
software has been popularized by Apple Inc. and its App Store, which sells thousands of applications for the
iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
4. Mobile Learning - learning across multiple contexts, through social and content interactions, using personal
electronic devices. In other words, with the use of mobile devices, learners can learn anywhere and at any
time.
5. Computer Vision/Recognition - is a field that includes methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing, and
understanding images and, in general, high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical
or symbolic information, e.g., in the forms of decisions.
6. Games/Gaming Technology - any of various games, recorded on cassette or disc for use in a home computer,
that are played by manipulating a mouse, joystick, or the keys on the keyboard of a computer in response to
the graphics on the screen
7. Computer/Data/Network Security - covers all the processes and mechanisms by which computer-based
equipment, information and services are protected from unintended or unauthorized access, change or
destruction. Computer security also includes protection from unplanned events and natural disasters.
8. Business Analytics refers to the skills, technologies, applications and practices for continuous iterative
exploration and investigation of past business performance to gain insight and drive business
planning. Business analytics focuses on developing new insights and understanding of business performance
based on data and statistical methods. In contrast, business intelligence traditionally focuses on using a
consistent set of metrics to both measure past performance and guide business planning, which is also based
