RESEARCH GUIDE
For
Graduate Program leading to MS in Computer Science
Computer science is the discipline where we are prepared for research and professional practice
in computer science and related technologies. In this discipline, there are fundamentals and
advanced work in the areas of artificial intelligence and databases, programming languages and
software engineering, system and networks, theoretical computer science, and visual computing.
The notion of this guide is to provide the starting point of research in some areas of computer
science.
