5. Future and Community
 Lots of research areas.
 See research departments of Microsoft, IBM, Sun,
Google and others
 Try a quick search for “computer science” or “computer
science department”
 Availability of Jobs
 Sakhr, RDI, Imaginet & others heavily use Image
processing, character recognition & natural language
techniques
