10+码农申加拿大课硕CS PS求批

校方要的是"Statement of research interests" 或 "Statement of intent"，可我申的是 course-based 啊？！因为工作十几年且本科 GPA 2.9/5.0，就顺着求学目的，工作经历跟申请项目的关联及毕业后意向的思路写了个。语法用语法检测软件检测过，后面还会找 editor 过一遍。这里请大家先评评內容（隐去了一些标识性信息）：

As a computer software engineer with 14-plus years of experience in the finance and telecommunication industries, I wish, in particular, to be trained at an advanced level in Computer Networks, Computation Theory, Compiler Theory, Database Management System Design and Implementation, Scientific Computing and Image Processing to succeed in my future professional career since I have learned from the years of professional experiences that computer science theories are required and useful in professional work.

Computer Networks:

For example, I developed a XXX System for Telecommunication Carriers, such as XXX and XXX. As an essential function, I have implemented the network protocol Card Application Toolkit Transportation Protocol (CAT TP) (which is published as technical specification <<ETSI TS 102 127>> by European Telecommunication Standards Institute), which is a TCP-like transportation layer protocol between Smart Card and Service Provider. The knowledge I learned from the course <<Computer Networks>> from my Bachelor's program significantly helped me because CAT TP has a similar design to TCP, like transaction lifecycle management, reliability, and flow control. Since the specification defines the transaction lifecycle management by Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA), I intuitively managed the status of connections by DFA. Besides, I implemented the sequence number and checksum to increase reliability and receiving window to utilize the network's bandwidth as much as possible.

Since distributed architecture has become mainstream in enterprise application domains and the design and features of low layers of network protocols have been borrowed into high layers of application protocols, I wish to learn advanced computer networks and parallel algorithms to react to challenges in my future professional career leisurely.

Computation Theory, Compiler Theory, and Database Management System Design and Implementation:

Furthermore, I developed a dynamic schema database system built on a rational database management system (Oracle) to reduce the time-to-market of business features by delivering business data model changes without database schema changes. The system stores both schema definition and content as records in the rational database, thereby supporting changing application model schema without touching the table schema of the rational database. Besides, I have designed and implemented a query interpreter for applications to query data in the business model aspect. The interpreter parses business model-oriented query expression into an abstract syntax tree (AST) by DFA and translates it to ANSI SQL. The query expression supports comparison, logic, and precedence operators, such as <, =, >, and, or, not, ( and ).

From that, I realized that more than mastering the application of database management systems are needed to qualify for the software engineer position because enterprise applications require more and more domain-specific database solutions. As a result, I want to learn the design and implementation of the database management system.

Besides, I was sufficient in the design and implementation of query interpreter due to the need for more knowledge of computation and compiler theories while I delivered a working production. Hence, I wish to enhance related knowledge through courses <<Automata Theory Computer>> and <<Compilers and Interpreters>>.

Scientific Computing and Image Processing:

Moreover, while I may continue my career in the enterprise application domain after graduating from this program, I will also look for job opportunities in scientific computing and image processing. They are new to me. Therefore I intend to obtain related knowledge through courses <<Parallel Models and Algorithms>>, <<Computational Topology>>, <<Volumetric Image Analysis & Visualization>>, <<Mathematical Models in Image Processing>> and <<Image Analysis>>.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, I intend to enhance my theory and application knowledge through this program to improve my professional career.
