I am study in Computer Science and my course in Seminar was assign me  
to do a research paper in my interest topic about Computer Science. So  
I design to choose the topic in Ruby Programing language. In the  
content, I think this paper may contain about the ideal of "How  
exactly the Ruby interpreter work". Now I am opening for anyone who  
have an ideal (that relate in CS) to suggest to me or give me some  
resource for read more about this topic.

Thank you for suggestion.

I guess looking at the Ruby source would be a good place to start, but there may be better.

Start with the source. But consider also looking at other implementations besides the canonical C version (for example, JRuby and Rubinious).
