TopicsLinux QuestionHow is linux growing, in what ways is linux growing, and where will this growth lead?How can we answer?I think the best way to answer thi s question would be to look at some figures from the past that shows linux usage and compare them with current linux usage figures. Also, we may have to look at the documentation or source code of previous linux releases to find what type o f softwares and components were included so that we can understand in what ways linux has grown.What is the significance?Linux is a major component of computer science in general. Many corporations and indivuduals use linux to run their web servers. linux is also used by many developers for for software developement. A nswering this question will help us analyze how linux will further impact the co mputer science field in the future.QuestionWhat role does linux play in a major organization?How can we answer?A case study or interviews may be the best way to answer this question, though this may prove to be a difficult if companies aren 't willing to open up. What is the significance?Pinpointing usage of linux withi n major organizations may help instructors better prepare students that are inte rested in linux.Computer ScienceQuestionWhat attracts people to the computer sci ence field?How can we answer?To answer this question it would be best to do a su rvey. The target that we might want to survey are students, instructors, and peo ple already working as software engineers. Trying to survey a group with a wide age range will also be helpful because the time a person grows up in could be a factor into what caused him/her to be interested in computer science.What is the significance?This would be an interesting research topic because it would give us the understanding to possible recruit and help young adolescents find their c areer. It may also help bring minorities and women into this field.
Topic Analysis for research subjects. Why it should be researched, and it's implications as well. This includes a couple topics.

TopicsLinux QuestionHow is linux growing, in what ways is linux
growing, and where will this growth lead?How can we answer?I think
the best way to answer this question would be to look at some
figures from the past that shows linux usage and compare them with
current linux usage figures. Also, we may have to look at the
documentation or source code of previous linux releases to find
what type of softwares and components were included so that we can
understand in what ways linux has grown.What is the
significance?Linux is a major component of computer science in
general. Many corporations and indivuduals use linux to run their
web servers. linux is also used by many developers for for software
developement. Answering this question will help us analyze how
linux will further impact the computer science field in the
future.QuestionWhat role does linux play in a major
organization?How can we answer?A case study or interviews may be
the best way to answer this question, though this may prove to be a
difficult if companies aren't willing to open up. What is the
significance?Pinpointing usage of linux within major organizations
may help instructors better prepare students that are interested in
linux.Computer ScienceQuestionWhat attracts people to the computer
science field?How can we answer?To answer this question it would be
best to do a survey. The target that we might want to survey are
students, instructors, and people already working as software
engineers. Trying to survey a group with a wide age range will also
be helpful because the time a person grows up in could be a factor
into what caused him/her to be interested in computer science.What
is the significance?This would be an interesting research topic
because it would give us the understanding to possible recruit and
help young adolescents find their career. It may also help bring
minorities and women into this field.
