In this project, students are guided to conduct research in the database field. Depending on students’ strength, they are given some particular database problems. For example, if they are good at geometry, some candidate problems include “how to find a nearest restaurant from a given location” and “how to find a shortest path from a source to a destination”. If they are good at programming, one of the candidate problems is “how to return results efficiently when users issue some queries”.

Requirement: Students are required to have their GPA/CGA at least 3.7 (out of 4.0).

Roles:
- to study some important problems in the field
- to implement some important algorithms in the field
- to conduct research

Outcomes:
- to know how to implement some important algorithms in the field
- to know how to conduct research
