I need suggestions for phd topics in software engineering

Hi Santhoshvit, since you're pursuing a phd in software engineering, shouldn't you be more familiar in this field of study than we are? :). Why are you interested in this field? Here are some links that may help you :):

You can google for a lot more.

Hmm... this is the second request we've gotten for PhD topics specifically in that field. Odd. Have a look at our answers to others who have written such broad requests for PhD topics:

Always puzzled by requests for Ph.D. topics. Surely anyone who has made it to that level should be able to come up with a subject on their own, even if they need help writing it up in English.

Or, at least, have a vague idea or a list of possible topics for which feedback in choosing among might be helpful.

Hello Kamalakar! Welcome to Essay Forum!

Can I ask you a question? Why do you want to pursue research on some topic suggested by another person? I'll make myself clear with the following example.

Let's say that I suggest you three topics A, B, and C. Now I suggested these topics because I like them. So what you will do next is choose one from these, and you'll convince yourself that it is a topic that you like. Do you see the problem? All along you have been following my interests while thinking they are your own. After sometime, say a year or so, you'll start to have doubts over your selection and you won't enjoy your research. That means a miserable life, or at worst, failure to get a PhD.

My suggestion is -- use the internet! Visit various university pages; they usually have detailed information about the current PhD topics. Check them out and read some journals. Go to websites like sciencedirect.com and type in "software engineering". Take some time to choose your topic -- at least, a couple of months. When you get three or four topics which interest you, then you ask someone to help you choose one.

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, but I was just being honest with you. This forum is for research help, but in my opinion, no one can help you unless you have a plan. Go, make one!

Yes, I like Ershad's advice. However, we are here to help! One good way to determine your topic is to read a literature review that has been written recently.

Google this, and then type some of the list items into your school's article database:

[Moved from]: Suggested CE research topics (on software engineering or object oriented analysis)

i m mtech student of cse branch.
plz suggest me research topic on software engineering or object oriented analysis.

I imagine there are two ways of looking at this problem. One, what is your own interest within this field? Aren't you likely to be happier working on that and also more likely to succeed? The other way, a little more challenging, but no more than you should be capable of. Why don't you explore sites where such work is available -- to understand the trends and the areas and where you could also pitch in?
