More thesis ideas and time tracking
Well, I’ve got a few more ideas for my Master’s thesis: Simulations/Discrete simulation. This may dovetail nicely with bayesian inference, genetic programming and scientific computing. I may also be able to figure out how to associate it with autodidactic software. It’d also probably be a good career choice to develop expertise in simulations.
I looked through the course catalog at UCCS for CS graduate classes and the things that stood out to me were computer learning algorithms and software engineering/design courses (Design By Contract, object oriented problem solving, etc.)
I’ll figure out a great thesis topic eventually. I definitely want to do something new and interesting, not just a review of existing literature.
Oh! Another potential for exploration is procedural content generation.
