CSCI Senior Project Abstract
November 2006
Advisor: Susan Reiser

The owner of Oodenaa Zem, Inc. asked me to develop web application based on their existing product, I-WayInfo, a Palm Pilot application. This software provides interstate exit information for travelers in the 48 contiguous United States. Additional details about the original product can be found at www.IWayInfo.com. The owner gave me a database containing data for three states and a Palm Pilot with I-WayInfo installed. My goal was to develop a web-based proof of concept application with similar functionality to I-WayInfo.

As a proof of concept, this project was designed to work on a limited set of mobile devices with the intent of adding support for more devices in the future. The web pages are written with XHTML BASIC to ensure compatibility with the greatest number of devices. Testing was performed using emulators provided by Microsoft for the 2003 Smartphone and the Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC.

In the end, the customer is happy with the results and wishes to pursue further development. I'm looking forward to seeing this project develop into a product.
