Middleware Class

I am taking Computer Science 601R this semester from Phil Windley which is about middleware. I am looking forward to the class because I think it will be a lot of fun.

For the class, we have to find three papers written on the subject of middleware and spend three different class periods giving a class presentation on each paper. Well, part presentation and part discussion. We also have to decide on a project we would like to do for the class. Once we come up with the idea we are to submit a two page project proposal. When our project is approved, we have the semester to research and work on the project and produce a 10-15 page paper about it.

Now, of course, this is the perfect time for me to think about what I want to write my masters thesis on and get a head start my last semester as an undergrad. I am interested to hear of some ideas people might have as I am thinking up a topic. If you have any cool ideas dealing with middleware, let me know, I would interested to hear them. Some of the ideas Dr. Windley has given can be found on the class wiki.
