COMP8299 Thesis 21 --- ---
The doctoral thesis aims to allow students, by tackling advanced research problems over

diverse settings, to significantly contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the field of
Computing, especially in computer applied technology and produce a coherent body of
work that is of scholarly value and worthy of publication. The work must be original and
be the student’s own. There must be evidence that the field has been thoroughly
surveyed by the student with critical exposition of relevant works, clearly demonstrating
the mastery of a body of knowledge in the field and strong analytical skills. Students are
responsible for ensuring that the thesis is presented in a clear, accessible and consistent
format. Good project management practices and effective writing skills are essential to
