讲座摘要：

We all realise now that research outcome is not about quantity but quality. Yes, impact matters the most. Big data is big, hot, and exciting! Everyone is rushing into it. But wait a second, how can we utilise our skill and knowledge to stir the water and decide on our own unique discovery? In this talk, I will use two research projects that are currently carried out in our group to illustrate some ideas on how to choose research topics and how to conduct good and fun research that can have  great impact. The two research projects I am going to present are from two completely different areas: (1) QoS analysis in business process management; (2) social network based data analysis.
