TRUE GUIDANCE IS LIKE A SMALL LAMP IN A DARK FOREST.

IT DOES NOT SOW EVERYTHING AT ONCE BUT GIVES ENOUGH LIGHT FOR THE NEXT STEP TO BE SAFE
As you know that the minimum duration for completion of PhD is 3 years, you need to plan meticulously in order to achieve your goal. It is my foremost duty to guide you in the proper path. Therefore I suggest the following for your further action. Step1: Set your milestone. Starting day (D) D + 3 months literature collection ( Collect at least 100 relevant transaction papers. As far as possible avoid conference publications). D+5 Months Literature analysis as well as gathering thorough back ground knowledge. D+6 months Survey paper should be sent to any journal. D + 7 Months Problem and the direction of the research should be well defined. D+10 months Work should be sent to IEEE international conference. D+12 Months First paper on your work should be sent to a journal with impact factor. D+18 Months Enhanced solution should be obtained and second paper should be sent to a good journal. Start looking for application of the problem. D+24 Months Sent third paper to IEEE Conference and any journal. D+30 Months Prepare the fourth paper with comparative analysis and send to any foreign conference also to any journal with little modification. D+33 Months Prepare your synopsis and thesis. D+34 Months Submit your synopsis . Carry out the English correction with the help of any English professor. D+35 Months Final correction with guide. Give sufficient time for correcting the paper/thesis. D+36 Months Submission of the thesis. Step 2: Meet your guide at Every Milestone. Maintain research diary to record the instructions and meeting. Step 3: Have regular communication regarding your work through Phone/email. Record it. Step 4. Plan your meeting well in advance as the guide may be busy in his schedule. Remind him about the meeting before starting your journey.

Step 5. All the research findings should be authentic and there should not be any ambiguity. Therefore cite the proper references. Do not use others wordings as it is. Do not use the words some, many, several, different, due to, adjectives and adverbs. Step 6. Each paragraph should explain a single theme and there should be a proper flow of concepts. However a theme can be explained in many paragraph. Step 7. Publish paper only with the concurrence of the guide. Step 8. All paper should contain the following: Abstract, Introduction, Literature review, proposed method, and implementation, result analysis, Conclusion, reference. Step 9. There should not be any grammatical errors or spelling mistakes. Step 10. Never criticize your guide in front of others. Step 11. Utilize your slack period (Nov & Dec, and Apr June) effectively towards the research. How to write research articles? CHAPTER-I ( Briefly summarise the question, give an overview of main results This is a bird eye view of the answers to the main questions answered in the thesis) CHAPTER-II (Background information if the work spans two or more traditional fields. i.e readers may not have any experience with some of the material needed to follow your thesis. Use different title e.g Brief overview of Temporal Data Mining and DIP) CHAPTER-III ( Review of the state of the art use different title like State of the art in pattern evaluation using time series analysis arrange the review based on different approaches) CHAPTER-IV Research Question or Problem statement. There are three main parts.1. Concise statement of the question that your thesis tackles, 2. Justification by directly referring chapter-3, 3. Discussion of why it is worthwhile to answer this question. Use the headings Problem statement or The problem of Similarity Search in time series. Periodicity mining problem. Problem with fuzzy patterns. CHAPTER-V The only purpose is to convince the examiners that you answered the questions of chapter 4. Show what you did? Chapter vi. Conclusion. It covers 3 things. 1) Conclusions are short statements of the inferences that your have made out of work. Order from most to least important. All conclusions should be directly related to the questions stated in section 4. 2)Summary of contribution. Here list the contributions of new knowledge that your thesis makes. Some overlap is allowed. Organised from most to least important. 3) Future research . Concise numbered paragraph are usually best. References: Make sure that important publications and own publications are listed. Notes on How to Write a Survey

Below gives some notes on how to write a survey. This is not intended to be a comprehensive guideline, but only as a brief reference point. (0) Decide the research area that you would like to work on. (1) When picking papers to read - try to 1. Pick a recent survey of the field so you can quickly gain an overview, 2. Pick a paper that you can easier understand book chapters often give easier understandable materials and lengthy explanation that may give you a head start, although they may not be as up-to-date as papers, 3. Pick papers that are related to each other in some ways and/or that are in the same field so that you can write a meaningful survey out of them, 4. Favour papers from well-known journals and conferences, 5. Favour first or foundational papers in the field (as indicated in other peoples survey paper), 6. Favour more recent papers, 7. Once you have identified an interesting technology to report upon, follow developments in that strand of technology (e.g. time-wise and technology-wise developments). (2) Gives a structure to your survey, such as Intro, Background, Technique Sections, etc, you can put it in already now. (3) Identify the main types of techniques in the field. When are they being created? How are they related to each other technique-wise and systemwise? (4) Compare the different techniques/system: 1. Can you distinguish the main differences between the different techniques? 2. Which methods use background/prior knowledge such as ontologies, word net and meta-data, etc? 3. What sort of reasoning mechanisms are they using? Is there a progress trend in the different report of research, e.g. in terms of time and in terms of technology improvements? 4. Can you compare the performance of the different types of techniques? 5. What will be the evaluation criteria that you will be using for comparing the different technologies? 6. In addition to text description on those topics above, can you produce a few relevant summary tables on the comparison of the different tools and techniques? (5) Mention concrete system being developed using those techniques and give details about them, e.g. who developed them, and details of their, e.g. their functions, specialization areas, the context of their working/testing application, developing history (who develop them and the motivation of

development), technical background (which type of techniques used), specific techniques used and implementation details, technical strength and weakness, etc. (6) When you write the survey, you can write the previous works in terms of temporal order and technology progress order e.g. A technique/work was developed first to resolve problem X, however, as it does not resolve Y; another technology/work was developed later on to resolve Y, but it does resolve Z. Therefore a later technology/work was developed to resolve Z, but it does not resolve. And so on. If there is not an obvious temporal or progress trend order, you can report on a set of related technologies/works to give a description of what they do, their strength and weakness, and the gaps they do not fill - often these gaps are the gaps that you would like to resolve - if you were to report on your own work in the same paper - you can then go on describing your work in more details in a following session. (7) Citing a reference in your survey: When you refer a paper in your literature review, remember to cite the full info about the paper, including author names, paper title, publication details and page numbers, etc, see an example reference below: [1] Adomavicius G, Tuzhilin A., Toward the Next Generation of Recommender Systems: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art and Possible Extensions, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Vol. 17, No. 6. (June 2005), pp. 734-749. Within your paper where you will use this reference as a part of your text, use [1] to refer to the above reference.
