Parallel
Cascade To improve Dr. Daugherty's Astrophysics package. First thing would be the cascade program. This is a program that takes several hours to run because it calculates complex electron paths on the surface of a neutron star. I would like to convert Dr. Daugherty's algorithm to a parallel one. This would allow to run the simulation not only on multiple computers, but also on various architectures. |

Simulation of
CPU Scheduling Algorithms This program will simulate the various algorithms that may be used by a short term scheduler to maintain and select from a ready-queue of processes awaiting allocation of CPU time. The scheduling algorithms will be first-come first-served, shortest job first, priority scheduling, round-robin and multi-level queue scheduling. Where scheduling between queues is necessary, it will be implemented as a fixed-priority preemptive scheduling. |

Delmarva Power Supplier Quality Program Pro2Call is a database designed for use by Belmarva Power in their Supplier Quality Program. The supplier Quality Program schedules contract inspectors for the performance of inspection visits at facilities worldwide, where equipment is being built for specific plant upgrades and new construction. Scheduling contract inspectors, which live within a 100 mile radius of the fabrication facilities has proven to be a beneficial alternative to flying project engineers from Delmarva Power to the fabrication sites. A contract inspection costs about 1/3 of the direct costs associated with sending the project engineer. Indirect savings are also realized for Delmarva Power because the project engineers are able to direct more activities at the Demarva Power construction site, while documentation of supplier performance is gathered in a structured, consistent manner. |

Distributed
Object Systems using the Spring Research Distribution To create an example of a distributed object application program written using C++ and the Spring Operating System on a network of Sun SPARC stations. The program will examine the ability to facilitate operations on objects on more that one machine using the "village" concept of the Spring Operating System. The "village" concept implies a tighter coupling between machines in a network through specific design. Each client can be aware of other machines in the network. |

UNCA Art
Department Slide Catalog The Art Department has a very large collection of slides that are used by the campus faculty during class presentations. The slides are presently being cataloged, by hand, on index cards. If a faculty member wishes to find a particular slide, he/she must know as much of the following information as possible about the slide: artist's name, title of work, period work was done, era work was done, country where work was done, nationality of artist, school of study of artist, permanent location of work, media type. The primary focus of this project was to design a system that would provide a search/maintaining mechanism for the slides in the catalog. The slide information will be entered into the database (FoxPro) by the users. Once the information has been entered, the user will be able to search for a particular slide using any of the slide information categories. Reports can be produced which list the various slides contained in each of the categories or an entire listing of all slides contained in the catalog. Individual file cards will be produced to be located with the slide in the storage drawers. |

UNCA's Human
Resource System From Test to Production The human resource department at UNCA has outgrown their current computer system. They are in need of a more complex system that will replace their in-house, single file system. This past fall, UNCA purchased a new commercial system referred to as HRS. Before the system can be brought into operation, minor modifications have to be made to the system. Also, the university does not purchase the training provided by the developers of HRS. This presents a major obstacle--we must first learn the system ourselves, and then train the users. This new system will be able to integrate with both the Financial Information System and Student Information System which are currently in operation at UNCA. |

Disc Jockey
Information System This project was developed to reduce math errors and the time involved in recording and totaling daily sales for a retail music store. It was designed with Visual dBase because of its ability to create a nice graphical user interface and because Visual dBase provides a program that is easy to modify to meet the future needs of the user. The project has taught me several things including a better understanding of Visual dBase and that project designs must be flexible to adapt to monitor space, paper dimensions and requirement of the software being used to develop the program. |

Hinvent, Jr. The UNCA Computer Center Inventory System The UNCA Computer Center orders, receives, prepares, and installs an average of 25 new PC systems alone per academic semester. In addition to new systems, the Computer Center is also involved in setup, maintenance and distribution of other hardware-oriented peripherals. Often the installation of a new computer does not cease once the machine is placed on the desk. In most cases, the change reverberates throughout a department, or many departments, as old computers shift in a "hand-me-down" fashion. Keeping up with which computer went to whom is a test for anyone's memory. The ability to quickly investigate who is due for an upgrade and to modify the system's owner once a change has been made will greatly improve the service and lessen confusion. |

Easy Quiz Pro An Online Quizzing System Easy Quiz Pro was created to make courses easier for instructors to teach and for students to take. In the past instructors have had to type up notes and quizzes, make their own copies, and pass out the papers in class, in hopes that all of their students would get a copy. When designing this project the ultimate goal was to create a system which made the old process mush easier. With the use of the Internet becoming so prominent in today's businesses and schools it is important we find effective ways to take advantage of the possibilities the Internet has to offer. Easy Quiz Pro is one of many new tools on the World Wide Web to make teaching and learning easier. The quizzing system was created using HTML and Perl. What this tool does is allow instructors to create five or ten question quizzes and publish them on the World Wide Web for their students to take and learn from. The creation process takes less than ten minutes and can be accessed by students from any computer in the world with Internet access. This easy access to information is what makes Easy Quiz Pro a success. Not only does it save valuable time for instructors, it also gives the students another resource to tap when preparing for exams and/or learning new course material. |

Play Ball! The Ultimate in Baseball Scoring Writing a computer program to take care of all of the tedious tasks involved in keeping score of a game would come in very handy for many people. I have envisioned your average business man, playing in a softball league, keeping score of the game as it progresses, on his laptop computer. This program would also benefit parents of little league baseball players, who would like to keep track of the team's statistics, rather than using the messy pencil and paper method. Finally, anyone could use this program while watching their favorite major league team, and keep season-long statistics on their favorite players. I decided that if I could find the correct application resources, I could probably pull it off. |

Supplied] This program, after completion, could induce an individual's objective mind to recede and his subjective mind to move in its place. In theory this program should induce a subject into a hypnotic slumber. Once in the hypnotic slumber, at most, he could accept posthypnotic commands. Or, at the least, the subject of this program should come away from the program feeling a deep sense of relaxation, with posthypnotic commands from this program, the individual can find help, at home, for such things as nervous habits, hypertension, shyness, etc. |

Community Help
Information Local Database Community Help Information Local Database (CHILD) was originally a CSCI 446 project which only completed design for the Save the Children Eastern Area Office which had not had a database previously. CHILD input come from programs in seven states which serves 15,000 sponsored children and almost triple that number in unsponsored children. CHILD, while maintaining the organization to program relationship, tracks utilization of programs and funds. The original project was designed on Microsoft Access 7.0 instead of the 2.0 version available to the user. If the project had reached the testing phase, the CSCI 446 team would have realized the large amount of design rework necessary for the code to work properly. The elimination in unnecessary relationships and tables, as well as, redesign of the forms proposed made up for shortfalls in Access 2.0 capabilities. The CHILD program will help the 8 Eastern Area staff members deal with the ever increasing administrative burdens being place up them. CHILD, once implemented at the Asheville Office, will be made available to other area offices throughout the United States. |

Statistical
Analysis of Sorting Algorithm Efficiency This project presents a statistical analysis of the efficiency (in terms of raw speed) of eleven sorting algorithms. Each algorithm is used to sort 300 arrays of random integers. The first 100 arrays are of increasing length, from 100 to 10,000 elements, and the remaining 200 arrays each contain 5,000 elements. Every sort is timed to the nearest millisecond, and each algorithm's set of sort time is saved in a file. The data from eh first 100 arrays is used to plot a line graph of sort time vs. array size for each algorithm. The mean, median, and standard deviation of this data is calculated and displayed with the histogram. The user also has the option to display a composite line graph of each algorithm's first 100 sort time, for a direct visual comparison of the speed of the algorithms. |

RakeNLeafs Mrs. Fran Smith, a professional genealogist, spends a great deal of time gathering bits of information often from ancient archives in order to put together family histories. This information can often be elusive and hard to find. While researching one individual, she sometimes encounters bits of information on another. But the time to investigate this second individual will come at a later time; first, she must complete the information on the targeted individual. Because of the nature of her research, she is often left with an immense amount of paperwork and very little in the way of easily tracking it or associating it to other information. Maintaining control of all this information, often in the form of notes on various scraps of paper consumes an enormous amount of Mrs. Smith's time. This is time that Mrs. Smith says she would rather spend doing research. After reviewing several pre-packaged genealogy programs, she has yet to find one that does little more than map family trees. These trees can only be mapped after the information has been found and verified. She expressed a strong need to put her notes together in such a way that would make the information more convenient to locate and tie together. She expressed a formidable frustration at having spent time looking up information on an individual only to discover she already had it but couldn't find it easily. For my senior project, I proposed to create a database that would allow Mrs. Smith to catalog and cross-reference her data. |

The Sound Card A Different Method of Data Storage on Magnetic Tape The purpose of this project is to develop a new backup process for PC owners. Many PC owners have experienced some form of data loss, either by floppy or hard drive failure. Owners often do not have a backup copy of this data. Even with the decreased cost of backup media, prices are high enough to discourage the average user from backing up the PC hard drive. To owners of a Sound Blaster 16, this process will present a new method that is both cheaper and more readily available. |

Offline Message Server The NetLert Offline Message Server (NOMS) is a specialized server designed to provide remote access functionality to the NetLert messaging system, an existing software product developed and marketed by SoftBase Systems, Inc. The NetLert Messaging system is a vertical-market product which provides instant desktop messaging to the help/support desk and telemarketing call center industries. Typical implementation environments for NetLert might be a 50-agent call center taking reservations for a rental car company, or perhaps a larger 400-seat telemarketing contractor providing services for a variety of clients. The NetLert system allows managers/supervisors in these networked call centers to send critical messages to specific desktops (agents) or to predefined groups of agents. A variety of message formatting, scheduling, and automation functions are provided to the message sender, through the NetLert Communicator application. Agent messages are displayed in an unobtrusive, scrolling desktop marquee. |

JFtp A Java FTP Client JFtp is a graphical FTP client written in Java. An FTP client is a program that allows the user to connect to a remote server and transfer files to and from the server. JFtp has a graphical interface that allows the user to execute commands by simply pressing a button or dragging an object somewhere. Visual confirmation to command execution is given in two ways: by a progress bar and by a log window. The purpose of this project is to combine as many of the flavors of computer science as possible into one discrete package. |

Web
Distributed Database Application Multi-Property Motel Reservation System The software is designed to provide a dynamically updateable only reservation system for small independently owned lodging properties. I chose to design this type of software after having worked in a hotel and using a large corporate reservation system. The idea is that a small start-up business could get properties to join this system, titled Carolina Mountain Lodging. The software would provide an only reservation system for Web surfers and staff members taking reservations by phone. Both would be using the same interface and accessing the same data. |

[No Title
Supplied] The problem is to create an application that will provide an educational interactive 3D graphical simulation of two families from the Odontoceti species of whales. Among these families of whales there are nine whales including the Long Fin Pilot, Orca and the Great Sperm Whale. The application must provide educational information that would normally be obtained from a 2D medium. The application must be able to provide transparent 3D graphical cross-section of the anatomy of the whale and educational text that appears when the sections of the whale are clicked on by the mouse. The application needs to demonstrate the life cycle, geographical locations, feeding patterns, and information on breeding of each of the whales in both a text and interactive 3D graphics image. |

Track & Field
Database Stan Rosenthal has to keep track of a multitude of information concerning the track team. Items such as: workouts, workout times, races, race times, race splits, running conditions, and various other information for each athlete. The problem with his current system is that he stores this information on paper. This make the desired information hard to retrieve for specific workouts or races, due to the fact that he must search stacks of paper to find what he wants. |

The Gnome
Microprocessor Electronic design automation (EDA) and hardware descriptive languages (HDL) are reshaping the integrated circuit (IC) industry. An HDL is a computer-based language having special constructs and semantics to model, represent and simulate the functional behavior and timing of digital hardware. HDLs provide an alternative to traditional schematic based design styles, where designers focused on transistor and gate level abstractions. HDLs enable designers to focus on the relationships between input and output signals, not on the circuit detail supporting the physical/structural implementation. EDA provides the synthesis tools needed to automatically create a schematic from an HDL behavioral description. This description can then be mapped into hardware technology, such as an FPGA, to meet timing and area constraints. |

Cellular Phone
Database Conversion Community Care Partners' Information Systems department is currently developing a cellular phone database for its employees. Community care Partners (CCP) has a contract with Bell Atlantic Mobile (BAM) in which CCP purchases a bulk amount of cellular minutes. These minutes are in turn offered to the employees of CCP at a reduce cost. The database includes all of the necessary data to calculate each employee's charges base on individual plans, and generate reports. CCP is currently negotiating a contract with US Cellular (USC) to purchase bulk minutes in an effort to offer the employees of CCP a greater service area. The cell phone database that contains BAM data will be used to store and process the USC data. The purpose of this project is to alter and redesign the pre-existing BAM cell phone database so that it will accommodate USC data and compute the correct charger for the employees. |

Maze Drawer
1.0: An interactive Maze Created with the OpenGL API OpenGL is an Application Programmers Interface that works in conjunction with the C++ programming language. This interface allows programmers to display two and three dimensional interactive models on a specified output devices. For the purposes of this project a two-dimensional interactive model was created. The Maze Drawer program takes as input the two integers M and N and then draws an NxM maze. It will generate a graphical rat that can be guided through the maze via the left and right mouse buttons and the "f" key on the keyboard. |

Material
Safety Data Sheets Online Mountain Technology Systems Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are used in almost every company in the United States. MSDS are documents that contain information on a specific chemical or substance used within the company. Information includes chemical identification, manufacturer, first aid, etc. Currently, the MSDS at Community CarePartners are all stuffed in large binders, which are located around the campus. Henry Barton, the director of Plant Operations at Community CarePartners has asked me to create a database to store our MSDS online. The MSDS will be accessible via our local intranet by each department. |

Acabodera Wars Acabodera Wars is a turn-based strategy game made for playing online against an opponent. Each player is in control of two characters. During each character's turn, the player may have that character perform one action and one movement. The action may either be an attack to an adjacent square or the use of an ability. Movement is simply the moving of the character to another square. The objective of the game is to knock out both of the other player's characters by depleting their hit points with attacks and/or abilities. |
