I will be supervising 4th-year thesis students in 2011. I'm currently offering the following topics:
I am happy to entertain student-initiated projects. If you have a clever idea and think it can be developed into a Thesis Project, then make a suggestion. If it's a bit small for a thesis, you might consider a COMP3901 Special Project.
Nowadays, everyone knows how to build database-backed web sites. I'm not interested in supervising "just another web interface". I want systems that are innovative, robust, with a decent interface and which ultimately can be used for an extended period by CSE or UNSW for real work. You'll also be expected to evaluate your system on real users, so I want it completed by early in the second session of your enrolment.
