Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) System
Totally rewrite the current ETD system to make it clean and generic. (Quite challenging, want it done to completion and will get used in Dec/Jan.)
Complaint registration and tracking system
A generic system to register a variety of complaints (computer, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, etc., this list should be customizable), track the resolution status and generate reports summarizing performance/satisfaction at different levels (individual, division/company, etc.)
System for data collection using palmtops
Generic method to help meter readers and other collect data on palmtops and synchronize them with earlier data. Integrity checks for wrong data entry.
Network monitoring system
The goal is to track network status by periodically contacting a number of servers, and to record summary information (similar to MRTG) and give a nice interface to summaries. May also involve modifying local servers to give link status information to local machines.
Upgrading of earlier systems (review existing system and propose what you will do new)
- room/talk scheduler
Improved authentication and personalization of information system access using smart cards.
This project will use smart cards + smart card readers to better authenticate users, and then provide a method for creating a personalized interface, based on allowed types of access and past usage.
