Research planning • A better approach: – explicitly consider what is needed at the end, then reason backwards • Considering as an example research that is expected to have a substantial experimental component, • the write-up is likely to involve – a background review – explanations of previous and new algorithms – descriptions of experiments – analysis of outcomes – completion of each of these elements is a milestone
Experimental Research Continuing to reason backwards the next step is to identify what form experiments will take but prior to designing experiments the researcher must consider how they are to be used What will be experiments show, assuming the hypothesis to be true? How will the results be different if the hypothesis is false? the experiments are an evaluation of whether some hypothesized phenomena is actually observed Experiments involve data, code, and some kind of latform
Experimental Research • Continuing to reason backwards • the next step is to identify what form experiments will take. • but prior to designing experiments the researcher must consider how they are to be used. • What will be experiments show，assuming the hypothesis to be true? How will the results be different if the hypothesis is false? • the experiments are an evaluation of whether some hypothesized phenomena is actually observed. • Experiments involve data, code, and some kind of platform

Non-Experiment Research • formal investigations of the properties of systems and algorithms • a wide range of studies that are difficult to classify – proposals for new programming language features and sketches of XML templates – for particular kinds of data to reflections on and comparisons of trends in research

Phd-- Patiently Hoping for degree Research planning a typical question in the later stages of a phd is whether enough research has yet been done or whether new additional work needs to be undertaken ? Often the best response to this question is to write the thesis Once your thesis is more or less complete, it is relatively easy to assess whether further work is justified
