5.Think the possibilities of future work, discussed in the survey paper.

6. By studying all the existing approaches in your research topic, you may found some disadvantages or performance issues or limitations.

7. Based on observations done in step 6, formulate problem definition.

8.Prepare a survey paper on your research topic with including all the latest approaches and their limitations. And also discuss your proposed work.

9.Send your survey paper to any one reputed conference to get good reviewer comments.

Note: Reviewer comments are very very important for your research work.

10. If the reviewers said that it is not a feasible approach, then it is better to leave that approach here it self and repeat step 1 to step 9.

11.Based on the Reviewer comments, proceed to your actual proposed work.
