Research Proposal

Title

• Title
• should highlight the expected contribution/solution /novelty of
• the study
• Ex:
• Artificial
• Immune System for
• Mobile
• Intrusion Detection
• with least
• False Negative
• It
• should also highlight the problem to be solved
• Statement
• of performance
• measurement is
• optional to be part of title

Problem Statement

• Preceded
• by brief Literature Review or Related work that tells about the
• advances/previous solutions for the past few years (last ten years)
• State
• the most
• recent problem
• and limitation of the solution a bit detail.
• Justify
• (the importance) why you need to solve the problem•State
• the most
• recent problem
• and limitation of the solution a bit detail.

Statement of Hypothesis

• List
• down the previous
• solutions
• Justify the
• propose solution•
• Before writing the hypothesis, you should be clear: Does it conceptual, model,
• part of a framework, algorithm, process, method, policy. etc.
• Write
• the proposed new solution for the problem
• Provide
• the diagram if
• possible. Describe briefly each component of the framework.
• Justify the
• propose solution

Statement of Hypothesis

• In
• this proposal, an improved AIS based intrusion detection system with Rough Set
• feature selection algorithm will be presented. The anomaly detection in the
• system will be set up based on AIS negative selection algorithm. And the
• feature selection algorithm will be used to reduce the complexity of the
• system.

Justification

• Currently
• AIS is still the best solution to the problem
• The
• architecture is simple and less components thus, less coding and complexity
• Genes
• in AIS are flexible and expandable to suit a particular problem
• AIS
• has element of prediction thus, can detect new unknown intrusion

Research Method

• State
• how the hypothesis/proposed new solution be verified/tested
• If
• simulation, what simulation tool will be used?
• Mathematical/Theorem
• proving: manual or using ATP
• Formal
• proving: Formal method, what is the FM tool?
• Data
• Analysis: Experimentation or Simulation
