Thesis topics in networking - 2016

I (t.moors AT unsw.edu.au) supervise theses (BE, ME/MEngSc, PhD) at UNSW in the
field of networking.
Most are in areas relating to my research interests, primarily video communicati
on, Software Defined Networking (SDN) and network dependability (reliability), b
ut that can cover many technical areas (e.g. wireless, routing, software defined
networking, transport protocols, applications, peer-to-peer, etc).
I may be willing to supervise theses on other topics in networking if there is a
very good match between your interests and background and mine. Please email me
a short description of your proposal.
This web page lists several possible topics intended for undergraduate theses. A
n asterisk (*) before a topic title indicates that a student has started that to
pic, though there may remain much more to do. The topics reflect my research/tea
ching interests, and so could be expanded (vastly, especially with more emphasis
on fundamental theory than practical implementation) to form Masters or PhD the
ses.
I cannot possibly do a good job of concurrently supervising all of these project
s, and generally only supervise 4-6 BE students per semester. Consequently, acce
ptance of students for topics will be done on a competitive basis, with the best
qualified students getting first choice. I'm flattered by emails that I receive
from students around the world asking if I can supervise them doing these proje
cts, but I can only supervise students at UNSW.
If you are interested in any of these topics, then please email your resume and
academic record(s) to t.moors AT unsw.edu.au . The earlier you do that and can c
ommit to a thesis (by completing a Thesis Nomination Form, available from the sc
hool office), the broader your choices will be.
For information about past theses that I have supervised, see http://uluru.ee.un

Information centric networking for building management
Most Internet protocols are modelled on conventional phone/postal systems in whi
ch a particular source device sends to a particular destination device, leading
to device addresses (e.g. 32b IPv4 or 128b IPv6 addresses) being the primary ide
ntifier that controls how information flows. Other information-centric (aka cont
ent centric or named data networking) systems are possible, which emphasise iden
tifying content rather than devices. Peer-to-peer file sharing systems take this
approach: You don't care which address provides you with parts of the file that
you seek, you only want to publish your interest in a certain file and subscrib
e to any sources that can supply (parts of) that content. Peer-to-peer systems s
uch as Bittorrent are built as overlays on top of IP network, but it is also pos
sible to switch/route content within the network according to content identifier
s and interest, which has led to software routers for named data networking (e.g
. http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/). This approach is particularly appeali
ng for managing data from smart buildings (e.g. about the status and control of
lighting, air conditioning, security etc) where the IP address of the device is
secondary to its role, location and the content that exists (e.g. who led to doo
rs x y and z being open on the ground floor at 6:05pm when an event of interest
occurred?). Such an "Internet of Things" approach will be used for the new EE&T
building, and the purpose of this project is to prototype software for building
a named data network that could manage building information systems and test it
using data available from existing UNSW facilities systems.
Smartphones
These projects all involve developing software on smartphones, probably using Ja
va on Android phones (which can be supplied), or using Objective C on iOS device
s.
TM142: Inter-interest app for smartphones
Write an app for smartphones (e.g. running Android) that matches people who are
gathered together according to how well their expressed interests intersect. Req
uires skills in software development, local & personal area networking (Wifi/Blu
etooth), graph theory / social network analysis, algorithms, privacy awareness.
TM150: Smartphone apps for more effective bus services
In this project you will develop a smartphone (Android) app that uses informatio
n available from wifi networks to estimate the behaviour of public transport use
rs and will develop communication mechanisms that allow bus behavior to be optim
ised by considering both existing and imminent bus passengers.
TM148: Smartphone app for automated roll checking
Educators sometimes waste class time by checking a class roll manually. In this
project you will develop a software app for smartphones (probably Android, perha
ps IOS) that will allow educators to check the class roll automatically.
Video
TM131: Computer vision processing of video presentations
Powerpoint (and equivalent) presentations are common in business and education,
for better or for worse. Videos of such presentations are often recorded and mad
e available online, e.g. through Youtube or a Massive Open Online Course. While
often the corresponding PPT/PDF file is also made available online, often it isn
't and potential viewers might seek such a file, e.g. to scan over before decidi
ng whether to watch the presentation. Reciprocally, viewers may have a copy of t
he slides from the presentation, but seek to determine which point of the video
discusses a particular slide, so that they can skip discussion of other slides.
In this project you will develop software (likely using the openCV computer visi
on package) to process online videos and extract useful presentation information
, such as frames that capture slides and the timing of when slides first appear.
Challenges may include dealing with slide animations, obstructions (e.g. the sp
eaker), extracting searchable text from the images, and interfacing with multipl
e video sources (e.g. Youtube) and formats.
References: Video editing software often includes scene change detection functio
nality, but when applied to presentation videos it yields many false positives (
same slide but foreground changes - e.g. speaker moves) and false negatives (sli
de changes but software considers differences between slides to be less signific
ant than ongoing foreground changes). Personal video recorders may detect scene
changes to allow users to skip ads, but such detection is often guided by non-vi
sual factors (e.g. audio, expected ad duration, other signals). http://vis.berke
ley.edu/papers/videodigests/
Network dependability
Businesses depend on network reliability to retain market share, and customers g
et frustrated by network faults. Network reliability is also fun to study becaus
e of the surprising ways in which systems fail and the challenge of understandin
g and defending against complicated failure modes. Current work focuses on impro
ving network reliability by end-user approaches to detect faults and adapt aroun
d them.
The web page http://uluru.ee.unsw.edu.au/~tim/dependable/ provides more context
for this topic.
TM109: * Automated WiFi troubleshooting
Use & extend your understanding of network protocols to develop software that au
tomatically investigates WiFi problems and suggests the best actions for users t
o take to fix those problems.
Requires: TELE3118 & lack of fear of developing software.
TM127: * Automated WiFi security troubleshooting
Two actual scenarios that led to Tim (your potential supervisor) to be unable to
connect to Uniwide because of security problems were when he changed his zpass
at home but didn't update his computers Uniwide password when on campus, and whe
n he tried using a laptop on which the date was set to 1980 (presumably due to a
battery/power problem) which led to root certificates being invalid so no acces
s points could be authenticated. These problems led to the wifi "not working" wi
th few hidden symptoms of the specific cause. Engineers like you and Tim can tro
ubleshoot such problems, but most "normal" people lack the skill or energy to fi
x such problems. The goal of this project is to develop software that can automa
tically diagnose/troubleshoot wifi security problems and tell "normal" people wh
at they need to do in order to fix their specific problem. e.g. output something
like "Check the time on your computer" rather than "Recheck all uniwide instruc
tions, and notice in step 16 that you have no Trusted Root Certification Authori
ties when there should be several, and find on 3rd web search attempt that the c
ause may be an incorrect clock." You will need to use operating system (e.g. Win
dows) APIs to examine network security settings, possibly write sockets programs
to test network connectivity, develop a deep understanding of wifi security, an
d write programs that interpret multiple symptoms and give specific useful instr
uctions to lay people.
TM106: Automated diagnosis of network performance problems
People value their time, and hate waiting for computers. When faced with delays
in accessing a web site, they would often like to know what is causing the delay
, since perhaps they might be able to fix it (e.g. high loss on their WiFi acces
s link) or at least know who to blame. Unfortunately layered protocol stacks and
the complexity of network protocols hide from them the information needed to di
agnose performance problems. What is needed is software that a frustrated user c
an run and which diagnoses the problem and explains it to the user. The performa
nce of network protocols such as TCP depends on environmental characteristics su
ch as transmission and loss rates, propagation delays, as well as configuration
parameters such as the Slow Start threshold. This project will involve analysing
traces of captured packets to explain the cause of performance problems. The an
alyses will initially be manual and use your knowledge of network protocols, but
later be automated, e.g. in Excel spreadsheets or by software that detects and
explains performance problems in real time.
TM77: Warn web browsers about upstream caches
ISPs and network operators often install caches for their benefits such as reduc
ing bandwidth use. Often these caches are transparent to web browsers (e.g. in t
erms of not needing configuration), despite the cache(s) potentially impinging o
n some aspects of service (e.g. delivering stale objects). In this thesis, you w
ill develop software (e.g. web browser add-on) to detect caches and warn users w
hen necessary.
TM74: * Censoring private information from network packet traces
Traces of the packets sent across a network (as presented by sniffers such as Wi
reshark and tcpdump) can be useful for troubleshooting network problems. However
, they can also include private information such as credentials (passwords, cook
ies and keys) and names/addresses that someone who seeks help in troubleshooting
network problems may not wish to disclose. The goal of this thesis is to implem
ent software that can censor such private information from packet traces, making
them suitable for submission with fault reports when seeking help to troublesho
ot network problems.
Several sanitization/anonymization tools already exist (e.g. tcpdpriv, SCRUB-tcp
dump and tcpurify) but they tend to be oriented to sanitizing large volumes of n
etwork data (e.g. to create repositories of traces that researchers can be use t
o study network traffic flows) rather than sanitizing traffic from one user. Con
sequently, they focus on sanitizing lower layer protocols (up to TCP) and oblite
rate application layer headers, whereas for troubleshooting, this thesis will se
ek to retain application layer headers while still removing private info (e.g. h
ttp cookies & pop passwords) from those headers.
Infrastructure
TM128: * Network technologies: Vendor certification to supplement academic cours
es
Vendors of networking equipment (e.g. Cisco, Juniper, Huawei) often provide cour
ses and certification (e.g. CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, JNCIA) for how to use their equipm
ent. Such courses overlap university network technology courses (e.g. TELE3118)
in that some of the underlying theory is covered by both, but they also cover mo
re practical (and vendor-specific) aspects that are not covered by academic cour
ses. In this project you will experiment with networking equipment and help deve
lop course material that gives students, who already know (or are currently lear
ning) the underlying theory, access to the practical aspects of such vendor cour
ses.
TM134: Hacking wacky TCP features
In this project you will modify an implementation of the TCP protocol to provide
unusual features, such as the ability to deliver data out of sequence and suppo
rt for multicast, for use in delivering video. This is an advanced topic which w
ill likely require Linux kernel programming (a fallback might be ns3 simulation/
emulation) and in-depth understanding of TCP.
TM137: Clean slate network designs based on Software Defined Networking (SDN)
The TCP/IP stack incorporates many design choices (e.g. see nms.lcs.mit.edu/6829
-papers/darpa-internet.pdf) that have led to its success as a global internetwor
king technology but those choices also limit its suitability for certain narrowe
r applications (e.g. connecting peripherals to a computing device, or for corpor
ate intranets). The recent introduction of Software Defined Networking (SDN) all
ows network owners to customise the behaviour of network devices (e.g. switches/
routers) to levels that are unprecedented with earlier devices that tightly inte
grated the control plane (e.g. OSPF/EIGRP routing) with data forwarding. This pr
oject will involve exploiting this new-found flexibility to implement novel prot
ocols on SDN-enabled switches that are unencumbered by the design constraints of
TCP/IP and so are more highly optimised for certain network applications.
This topic requires extensive programming in order to implement network protocol
s and may require the student operate under a non disclosure agreement. It requi
res strong understanding of existing network protocols, and a creative approach
to questioning existing systems and proposing and implementing alternative desig
ns.
TM151: DNS privacy
Communication privacy is important, and is exemplified by the increasing use of
transport layer security to support HTTPS and similar services. However, domain
names are still typically transmitted in plaintext, e.g. when using DNS to resol
ve names to addresses. Since many sites are hosted by Amazon, Akamai and other s
ervices, eavesdropping the IP address doesn t necessarily indicate which server so
mebody is using, which also leads to domain names being exposed in TLS setup and
would make site privacy possible if names were not exposed through DNS and TLS
setup. This project will implement in software mechanisms to hide domain names (
through encryption and other mechanisms) and will assess the cost of such mechan
isms (e.g. on DNS caching and personalisation of DNS answers, and whether server
s require extra state information)
TM147: Defending against phone spam/robocalls
Unwanted unsolicited communications ("spam") first became a problem for email be
cause of the negligible cost of sending email. It is increasingly becoming a pro
blem for phone services due to falling costs of phone calls themselves and incre
asing international phone access in developing countries where labour costs are
relatively low. Caller ID allows individuals to ignore calls from unknown source
s, but business often revolves around acquiring new customers, and caller IDs ca
n be spoofed. In this project you will investigate technical mechanisms that cou
ld help defend against such phone spam. Examples may include applying collaborat
ive filtering techniques (as used to filter email spam) to filter phone calls an
d in extending phone system software (e.g. the Asterix PBX) to check (e.g. apply
ingress filtering to) caller IDs. You will implement prototypes of such mechani
sms in software, possibly in the form of a smartphone app or Asterix module.
Prequisites: Knowledge of network technologies essential; reasonable programming
skills; willing to learn about phone signalling systems; knowledge of network s
ecurity (e.g. TELE3119) might help
TM115: NetFPGA implementation of ultra-low latency TCP/IP for financial trading
applications
In financial trading, e.g. algorithmic high frequency trading by hedge funds, si
gnificant competitive advantages arise for traders who can observe and act on ma
rket changes with even slightly lower (e.g. millisecond) delays than their compe
titors. Consequently, traders are willing to pay considerably to co-locate their
servers with trading platforms in order to minimise propagation delay. Traders
can compete further by minimising delays in their end-systems. To facilitate tha
t, this project will investigate how the NetFPGA platform can be used to shift T
CP/IP and application layer protocol (e.g. FIX or ITCH/OUCH) processing from sof
tware in servers into hardware, where parallelism and application-specific optim
isation can minimise trading latency.
TM141: Software switch implementation/emulation for use with Software Defined Ne
tworking (SDN)
Software Defined Networking (SDN) allows open programmable control of network sw
itches, but typically works with switch hardware that implements the data plane.
Yet software implementation/emulation of switch data planes is useful for learn
ing about existing, and experimenting/prototyping with new, data plane technolog
ies. In this project you will take an existing modular software implementation o
f switch data plane and extend it to work in a SDN context.
See also this past thesis
TM140: A fine-grained ontology of network technologies
Ontologies name and define the interrelationships between entities in a domain.
An ontology for the field of network technologies would include concepts such as
Ethernet, carrier sensing, Binary Exponential Backoff, retransmission, error co
ntrol, etc, and show how such topics relate to one another. An ontology for netw
orking would be useful for classifying research papers and educational resources
about networking, and for matching queries/questions/problems to resources that
may contain helpful answers. The aim of this project is to develop such an onto
logy for the field of communication networks.
e.g. a coarse initial ontology of networking
TM135: * Content distribution across a national Software Defined Networking test
bed
Software Defined Networking is currently one of the hottest topics in networking
, and UNSW is leading an ARC-sponsored LIEF grant to establish a SDN testbed con
necting 10 universities across Australia. As the lead technology expected to be
used by future networks, SDN must support the increasing network load made by vi
deo traffic. In this project you will develop a system that can be used to demon
strate video content distribution across the National SDN testbed. You will gain
experience in leading edge SDN and CDN technologies, and in network protocols (
e.g. using DNS to redirect clients to the best content replica).
TM114: Plan a NBN ISP
The National Broadband Network promises universal high-speed broadband across Au
stralia, and will "level the playing field" between competing Internet Service P
roviders (ISPs) by charging each the same price for customer access. Combined wi
th the low entry cost for new ISPs (e.g. a national ISP need only connect to 121
NBN Points of Interconnect) it is likely that new ISPs, some with possibly nove
l service and business models, will start up. The goal of this project is to pla
n such an ISP. Business planning (e.g. cost and pricing issues) will dominate, b
ut you will need to use and extend your knowledge of telecommunication networks
in order to thoroughly develop such a plan, e.g. considering the implications of
peering, caching, and partnerships with content distribution networks. Note tha
t "ISP" here need not be limited to Internet data, but may also include broader
telecommunication such as voice and video services, and may include (or partner
with providers of) some wireless/cellular/mobile services.

or experience in business planning
TM143: Networked multiplayer game
In this project you will develop client and server programs that implement a rea
l-time networked multiplayer game. It will extend your knowledge of TCP/UDP sock
ets programming through a server that broadcasts timing beacons to players, play
ers that broadcast their position in the playing field to nearby players, and re
liable messaging connections between cooperating players so that they can plan t
heir moves.
TM144: Multimedia applications using sockets
In this project you will build your own Skype/Voice-Over-IP(VOIP) equivalent app
lication that allows audio communication over packet-switched networks. It will
extend your knowledge of multimedia networking from courses such as TELE3118 as
you will be required to implement features such as playout buffers for correct t
iming, and also develop skills in programmed multimedia access (e.g. microphone
input and speaker output). While a version should work on the Windows platform,
extension to Android or other smartphone platforms is also possible.

Graduation Date: December 2014
Abstract
The E-Approval System (EAS) was developed due to the global nature of many organ
izations. The key persons involved in the decision-making process in many busine
sses often are based in different parts of the world. The approval process must
flow seamlessly to ensure decisions are made efficiently and work is approved in
a timely manner. However, it is easy to lose documents or simply forget about a
request with all the decisions that must be made. Automating an organization's
approval processes can save time and money while reducing chances of human error
. Compliance with regulatory standards can be facilitated if approval processes
are automated. In the EAS, we have three levels of approvers, along with an admi
n and users who can send documents for approval. A document is encrypted and sen
t over the network to the admin who will decide which level of approvers will re
ceive the document. The approver will be notified once he/she receives the docum
ent. Then the approver can download the file, and after verifying it, will have
to enter his/her digital signature to accept or reject the document. Once he/she
has made a decision, the admin who was keeping track of the document's status w
ill be notified whether the document has been accepted or rejected. The admin fi
nally approves or rejects the document and then the user is notified about the f
inal decision. The (EAS) was developed using Java Programming languages and data
base maintenance uses MySql.

Pharmacy Management System
Talath Shams
Abstract
Pharmacy management system is a web-based application, which is used by pharmaci
es to manage all pharmacy related activities. Pharmacy management system provide
s activities like managing stock details, sales and purchase. The functional com
ponents of the project are managing stock details, where stock details can be ad
ded, edited or deleted. Billing transaction information can be viewed by providi
ng bill number and also getting all the pharmaceutical medication details attach
ed with the bill. Medicine returns can also be taken care with this system. Admi
nistrator is one of the user role defined in this application, where he/she can
see various statistics about the stock and purchase details. Store users have ac
cess to enter stock details and billing information (statistics are restricted f

karn Mukesh Pandya
Abstract
The Voice-Activated Stolen Vehicle Management System (SVMS) is a web-based mobil
e application for the police department and general public. This application wil
l basically help in finding the actual owner of the recovered stolen vehicle in
a timely manner. This will be achieved by creating a centralized application for
the police department to query the details of the vehicle recovered. This appli
cation will allow users to gather the details of the stolen vehicle along with t
he owner and FIR details. Thus when someone queries for this vehicle, when found
based on the VIN number, they get the information about the actual owner as wel
l as the Police Station in which the complaint was launched. This application wi
ll also have a voice search option where a user can search the vehicle using voi
ce i.e. by saying the VIN number. The same application can also be used by the g
eneral public when buying a used vehicle to check if it is stolen property. Last
ly, this application can also be used to check the details of any suspicious una
ttended vehicles, thus encouraging public participation in recovering stolen veh
icles. The application will be able to run on various android powered mobile dev
ices. The client side of the application will be developed using Android Softwar
e Development Kit in eclipse IDE. Server side coding will be done in PHP, HTML,
CSS with MySQL as the Database.

On the Topological Design of Network System: Performance and Cost Perspective
Ruqayyah Habeeb
Graduation Date: August 2014
Abstract
The following report examines the components and structures of different network
topologies with aims of understanding their strengths, limitations, cost and fl
exibility. Different network topologies are analyzed within the contents of arch
itecture, flexibility, cost of implementation and performance. The report is sub
divided into two parts; the first part analyses the general topology characteris
tics of Mesh, Star, Bus, Ring and Tree topologies while the second part illustra
tes the process of implementing a small office network using Star topology. A co
st-performance analysis is conducted through quantification of topology structur
es and the Star network selected as the best due to flexibility, speed, low cost
of maintenance and ease of expansion. The project cost for implementing a five-
node Star topology is $15,757.00. One of the major limitations found is the labo
r cost due to the level of expertise required.

Focused Web Crawler for Searching Mailcious Web Pages
Anuraj Saxena
Abstract
Computer systems connected to the internet are confronted with a plethora of sec
urity threats ranging from computer worms, viruses to Bot networks'. For any wor
m, virus or a bot agent to be planted in a computer system, web attacks are now-
a- days a preferred medium. Drive by download attacks, from malicious web sites,
which use malicious JavaScript to attack through the browser, are on the rise.
Detection of malicious web content on the internet to avoid compromise of the ho
st PC is an area of active research being promoted by all companies and agencies
world- wide.
To search for malicious web pages, typically the first step is to use a crawler
to collect URLs which are live on the Internet. Then, fast pre-filtering techniq
ues are employed to reduce the amount of pages needed to be examined by more pre
cise, but slower, analysis tools (such as honey clients) [5][7][8]. While effect
ive, these techniques require a substantial amount of resources. A key reason is
that the crawler encounters many pages on the web that are benign, that is, the
"toxicity" of the stream of URLs being analyzed is low. This issue can be overc
ome by having a focused crawler which can seek more malicious sites and avoid be
nign sites.
Problem statement: In this thesis work, I have developed a focused web crawler w
hich can crawl and search malicious web site in an efficient manner. The focused
web crawler designed in this thesis has the following
capabilities- It can crawl more malicious sites in a unit time compared to a gen
eric crawler, it can handle cloaking, entanglement in malicious sites, and AJAX2
content. This crawler has been developed on the Java platform. It has used the
JSoup library for parsing of web pages, Rhino Engine for JavaScript emulation in
a Sandbox, HTML Unit Engine for Browser emulation in a Sandbox and WEKA library
for Data Mining analysis results. The crawler was tested on the internet and th
e results obtained were analyzed to check the efficacy of this focused crawler.

Consultant WEBSMS System
Ajaz Ahmad Mohammed
Abstract
Consultant WEBSMS System is a web-based application which helps the consulting c
ompany to easily communicate with their consultant. It allows the consulting com
pany to send messages to a consultant mobile phone. Messages can be sent free of
cost to any mobile phone in any part of the country. This application helps man
agement consulting company to track their timesheet and remind the consultant on
a weekly basis to send their timesheet with this application. The problem assoc
iated with traditional spreadsheet application is that as the business grows the
problems escalate and the management ends up wasting billable time across the o
rganization consultants take longer to fill in their time, admin staff have to c
onsolidate and re-enter the data, the finance team is forever sending out new sp
readsheet versions with the latest job codes, and management has to do their own
spreadsheet analysis to get the data they need in the right format.
There are functions to download and upload files such as Timesheet, Pay checks,
W2's and other related files also. One of the other important facilities of this
website is the discussion forum, where consultants can share ideas as well as s
et appointments to meet other consultants who are interested in the same topic.
There is an option to send alerts like different packages to Consultants.

The Smart Grocery shopping System Designed in ASP.NET
Kathy Y. Lin
Abstract
In this current economy, saving money is all the rage. Americans love bargains,
they brave the crowds on Black Friday to get what they want. Unfortunately, it h
as never been an easy task for grocery shoppers. Grocery manufacturers issue cou
pons and stores offer incentives to provide the shopper money saving opportuniti
es. Coupons must be clipped from the newspaper inserts or printed from online so
urces. Oftentimes, you find the coupons are disorganized, out of date or just pl
ain missing when you need them. There is also difficulty and confusion in matchi
ng a coupon to the best sale to maximize your savings. Many items said to be "on
sale" tend not to be as cost effective as buying them at a competitive store. W
hile you can spend hours matching coupons with the sales manually with some succ
ess, a web based application can ease this task and achieve better results.
This research project is to create a dynamic grocery coupon organizer applicatio
n using the power, flexibility and scalability of ASP.NET web development tool s
upplemented by VB.NET, HTML, CSS and SQL relational database technologies.

able. Koha has two interfaces - one for the library staff and the other is web O
PAC for public access.
Koha is written in Perl programming language. It has client-server architecture.
Though Koha software can be installed on any operating system, Debian Linux is
recommended. Any web browser like Mozilla, Firefox or Internet Explorer can be u
sed to access Koha. Koha runs on the LAMP platform i.e. Linux, Apache, MySQL and
Perl. Z39.50 communication protocol is used for search and retrieval of data.
The main objective of the thesis is to implement and configure Koha for the KSI
library. Implementation of Koha includes configuration of Linux, Apache, MySQL,
Zebra, YAZ and Perl packages. Various tools required for installing the Koha sof
tware stack include - APT Package Manager for Linux packages, Make Utility for P
erl modules and CPAN Shell. Koha system has to be configured to maintain informa
tion about items in the library. MARC Frameworks, Authority Control and Authoriz
ed values are configured in the Cataloging Module. Library items loaned to the u
sers and mapping of library's circulation rules and policies are configured in t
he Circulation Module. Patron access controls are set in OPAC preferences. Data
from the current library database has to be extracted and imported into the new
system using Koha's import tools.

MOBILE PERSONAL ASSISTANT
Dheeraj Bhushan
Abstract
The mobile devices or the next generation smart phones are becoming the de-facto
computing platform for the masses. With performance now available at a reasonab
le cost these mobile giants are the devices that will serve as the primary means
of interaction between most computer users of tomorrow and their online life. T
he rapid transformation fromarge desktops, to laptops, to notebooks and then to
netbooks, is a testament to this inevitability. However, there is a real gap in
needs of the mobile netizens of today and the assistance software available. The
primary applications such as email, IM , chat and voice are abundant, however t
he needs now are vastly different; with people plugged into the Internet in so m
any ways there has not been a real attempt at assimilating this information in o
ne place to add value across means of interaction. Truly though, before the adve
nt of the very powerful mobile devices of today, this would have been an endeavo
r in futility; however the devices of today boast processing power many times ab
ove laptops of 10 years ago. The mobile devices of today operate at several Ghz
of CPU frequency coupled with several Gigabytes of storage. These devices are ho
wever largely underused. This project is aimed at creating a repository of infor
mation for the netizen of their mobile capability to provide assistance with On-
line interaction. The device of choice at this point is Google Android for sever
al reasons. First and foremost the programming language is Java, this makes the
Android a long-term leader as compared to the Objective-C base iPhone devices. A
lthough the iPhone is presently the leader of the pack, history tells us that th
e leaders of technology rarely maintain their position for too long. Irrespectiv
e of position, the choice of Android has several benefits. Besides lower barrier
for entry, the Android platform is designed for long-term application life from
ground up. The ability to use part of a class within and across applications is
the first step in that direction. Moreover, the certificate policy requirement
for releasing applications with certificate expiration after October 31, 2033; a
lthough an indirect indication, is a strong pointer to what Google aspires for t
heir platform Finally, there are several devices that will be coming into the ma
rket with the Android platform under the hood presently the count stands at 10 f
or the year 2009 and the number of devices in 2010 is already over 20. Therefore
the first attempt at this application will be made on Google Android as the tar
geted platform.

P2P Solution for Videoconferencing
Wen Shi
Abstract
Typical videoconferencing usually uses a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) or a cent
ral control computer to negotiate among several remote points. All the video and
audio data are transferred through this central point. This kind of structure b
rings additional hardware costs as well as a bottleneck according to the capacit
y of the central point. In this project, we are seeking a method to get rid of t
he MCU part by adopting 'peer-to-peer' connection architecture. Treating the who
le Internet as a cluster, we are going to shield physical differences of a hybri
d environment and implement basic functions for videoconferencing by pure softwa
re.

Psychological Portraiture in Traditional Art and Digital Art: A Study Exploring
the Intrinsic Qualities and Dynamics of Each Media
Angela Redmond
Abstract
Within this project, I am examining the use and effect of psychological portrait
ure in traditional and digital art. A psychological portrait is defined as an im
age that reveals inner aspects of its subject. This can be portrayed by framing
the portrait in such a certain composition that certain features are revealed an
d others are concealed, as well as incorporating extreme angles and dramatic lig
hting. This technique is often displayed within paintings, drawings, and photogr
aphy, but also within digital media such as feature films and abstract video pie
ces. Psychological portraiture evokes emotion and curiosity in the viewer. Withi
n this project, I am exploring the use of psychological portraiture in Tradition
al Art as well as Digital Art, and deciphering which particular qualities are be
st expressed in each media.

Praveen Kumar R. Paidi
Abstract
Currently available Internet applications provide generic information about a gi
ven place. They primarily lack personalized information, which is the most impor
tant factor for revisiting that place.
Every time people visit a place, they recollect that they have been to that plac
e before but may not remember their past experience at that location, namely res
taurants, retail stores, etc. Also when visiting a new place, they would like to
know any available information to become more familiar with that place. This ca
n be achieved by automatically identifying the user's location, finding all the
information about that location, and presenting it to the user in a simplified a
nd easy-to-use format.
The purpose of this project is to design an Android mobile application that uses
GPS and Wi-Fi location services available in the platform to precisely identify
the location, retrieve user experience information, and present it to the user.
When visiting a new location, the application searches online for information s
uch as type of location, available services, general reviews, and comments. Thes
e are then processed and presented to the user in a precise and simple format.
The application will be developed using Android SDK and Eclipse IDE with an Andr
oid emulator and development tools plug-in.
Using this application, a person can comfortably visit any location, new and old
alike, with profound information about that location.

A Study and Implementation Plan of CPOE for Healthcare Institutions
Hany A. Hamad
Abstract
Patient safety has become a focus for hospital administrators and policymakers.
Medication errors in particular have received the most attention because of thei
r high prevalence, slignificant harm to patients, and high costs to hospitals. W
hile the hospital medication process is prone to errors at all stages, the great
est percentage of preventable adverse drug events occur during physician orderin
g, rendering that phase the prime target for error- reducing strategies. Healthc
are institutions have installed computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system
s from multiple vendors such as GE, McKesson and Siemens to address the problems
inherent in manual order writing. All CPOE systems share a common functionality
at their core, but this paper will only focus on some benefits of having a CPOE
in place and then give an overview of implementation planning in the healthcare

Animation techniques are used in film, video and art production for diverse goal
s. Animation is used to add realistic qualities to scenes and special effects, i
t can create magical qualities, or it can determine an entire stylistic vision.
No matter the end purpose of the animation technique, the ultimate purpose is to
create illusion. This research will investigate the many processes of creating
animation and Visual effects (Visual F/X or VFX) including traditional 2D, stop-
motion, 3D modeling, computer generated imagery (CGI), and present a history of
such techniques, citing specific examples. Specifically, the process of mixed an
imation technique will be explored through discussion of examples and investigat
ion of types of mixed animation technique, especially where dream sequences and
portrayal of alternate worlds is involved. Finally, I will present my own art wo
rk with an original musical composition by Martin Simon, a piece of animation wh
ich explores diverse techniques within the work itself, and uses the contrasting
styles to explore and define my creative and narrative process.

Torrent Times
Student Name: Wen Liu
Abstract
Torrent Times is a project about human's instincts. The focal point in this proj
ect is human emotion and desire. I want my audience to get into this project and
chose their own way to play with it. I want to leave this project open enough,
so there will be more possibilities which will be created or found by the user.
From the very beginning of human culture, we were already there. Now we are stil
l here in the same place, but different time. Time flows really fast, it never w
aits for anyone or anything. We will be ashes. We will die. But it doesn't matte
r. It is just like raining, everything flows with the rain drops and we flow wit
h time. Torrent Times is a representation of rapid changes. With our emotions an
d desires, we have changed our life and history. But in this project I am not em
phasizing history or life. I am reaching for different emotions and desires of d
ifferent people. (Everyone loves different things, the emotion is love, but the
desires are different. For instance, I love to play basketball, so my desire is
the game of basketball. My brother loves to read books, so his desire is to read
books. We have the same emotion which is love, but we have totally different de
sires.) The important factor in this project is the relationship between emotion
and desire. But if I put emotion and desire separately they can still create ma
ny possibilities. We are controlled by our emotion and desire. What if we are ou

Smart Communication: An Intranet Based Collaboration Tool
Student Name: Nazim Khaja
Abstract
The objective of implementing this project is to increase productivity and helps
in faster and better decision-making. There is a need for a system that would a
ssist team members in communicating and collaborating with each other. Further g
oals of the project include avoid duplicated effort, avoid delays in performing
revision and encourage creativity and issue solving. Communication is a process
that allows organisms to exchange information by several methods. Communication
requires that all parties understand a common language that is exchanged with ea
ch other. Exchange requires feedback. The word communication is also used in the
context where little or no feedback is expected such as broadcasting, or where
the feedback may be delayed as the sender or receiver use different methods. Tec
hnologies, timing and means for feedback. There are auditory means, such as spea
king, singing and sometimes tone of voice, and nonverbal, physical means, such a
s body language, sign language, Para language, touch, eye contact, or the use of
writing. The users of this system are not naive users; they use computers to pe
rform tasks, such as monitoring a server or maintaining a database. Team members
would be encouraged to use the system. Since the project will be implemented wi
th employees with knowledge of computers, it's easier for the members to use the
product. It would also be possible to track the usage of the system by team mem
bers.

KSI Library Management System Utilizing RFID
Student Name: Javier Vazquez Navarrete
Abstract
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the latest technology to be used in lib
rary management systems to date. Unlike EM (Electro-Mechanical) and RF (Radio Fr
equency) systems which have been used in libraries for decades, RFID-based syste
ms move beyond traditional systems and are more efficient in the management of m
aterials throughout the library. This thesis project presents the functioning of
a RFID library management system consisting of a radio frequency module (the re
ader) connected to local computer with a Web-Based library manager database appl
ication installed. The KSI library RFID system will be designed to take on the a
ppearance and functionality of the current KSI library system to simplify and sp
eed the process of identification and management of each library item. Libraries
commonly deal with the large amounts of transactions that are reported every da
y in strict records that must keep in some sort of database to ensure the integr
ity and availability of the library catalog. For years, this process was done by
hand, whereby borrowed or returned books would be counted daily and records wou
ld have to be updated manually. The RFID system allows items to be identified wi
th an RFID transponder that would wirelessly read the tag on an item. The RFID s
ystem will be configured with a communication interface to the reader among vari
ous other components. It will receive the unique information from a passive libr
ary tag; the tag will be read only from 3 to 5 inches of distance from the anten
na. The data or information will be processed against its own local database, af
ter which the librarian can start another transaction. In this project the libra
ry's staff will practice with the RFID technology to manage fast and efficiently
the library materials. The patron will perceive and experience the process of c
heck in-out as a quick automated operation. The implementation of this RFID proj
ect named "KSI Library Management System Utilizing RFID" will give the KSI libra
ry the opportunity to explore, and eventually consider if this solution is viabl
e according to future expectative of management Library Catalog. The RFID techno
logy is the future for libraries.

Abstract
This project is aimed at developing an online defect tracking system useful for
applications developed in an organization. The Defect Tracking System (DTS) is a
web based application that can be accessed throughout the organization. This sy
stem can be used for logging defects against an application/module, assigning de
fects to individuals and tracking the defects to resolution. There are features
like email notifications, user maintenance, user access control, report generato
rs etc in this system. The entire project has been developed keeping in view of
the distributed client server computing technology, in mind. The specification h
as been normalized up to 3NF to eliminate all the anomalies that may arise due t
o the database transaction that are executed by the general users and the organi
zational administration. The user interfaces are browser specific to give distri
buted accessibility for the overall system. The internal database has been selec
ted as MS-SQL server 200.The basic constructs of table spaces, clusters and inde
xes have been exploited to provide higher consistency and reliability for the da
ta storage. The MS-SQL server 200 was a choice as it provides the constructs of
high-level reliability and security. The total front end was dominated using the
ASP.Net technologies. At all proper levels high care was taken to check that th
e system manages the data consistency with proper business rules or validations.
The database connectivity was planned using the latest "SQL Connection" technol
ogy provided by Microsoft Corporation. The authentication and authorization was
crosschecked at all the relevant stages. The user level accessibility has been r
estricted into two zones .

Health Level Seven Integration Design
Student Name: Zhiyang Zheng
Abstract
Healthcare is a very wide concept which mainly refers to the prevention, treatme
nt, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well-b
eing through the services offered by the medical and allied health professions.
Nowadays, it is amazing to see how Information Technology progressively contribu
tes in the healthcare industry. The Computer and Information System plays an inc
reasingly important role in the information managements on almost all the medica
l activities. There are many of sub-systems within the Healthcare Information Sy
stem (HCIS). Together they help people manage data like demographics, billings,
diagnoses and laboratory results of patients. They share data but work separatel
y. Thus, a big challenge is how to integrate different sub-systems to offer a se
cure and efficient data environment. This thesis is about to provide a solution
for communication between two separated subsystems within the Healthcare Informa
tion System (HCIS), the HIS (Hospital Information System) and EMR (Electronic Me
dical Report) system by using HL 7 messages, a standard of data format. HL 7, wh
ich stands for Health Level 7, makes it possible to use the same language no mat
ter what vendor provides the system. In addition, a data interface is responsibl
e to control the transferring among systems. The author will demonstrate an inte
rface design and implementation of a middleware to handle the transform in HL 7

Applying Sequential Space Relativity for Image Recognition
Student Name: Roby Chhokar
Abstract
In this research we attempt to perform image recognition using some of the known
properties that humans possess. In particular, we use the property of the eye p
erforming saccades on an image. We correlated space and time as the essence ofth
is type ofbehavior. We described space as the amount of space the current image
portion in the visual was taking during a saccade, and time was described as the
sequence of saccades. From intuition, we introduced the notion of relativity fr
om one saccade to another, and used this idea to build a sequence. A system was
developed to implement this theory that consisted of 100 training images, and 40
0 distorted images to test the system's recognition ability. The distorted image
s were created from the training images and had either been: rotated/mirrored; s
caled (larger or smaller); partially removed; or noise-added. The system present
ed a 95% accuracy rate for partial images, 62% for scaled images, 60% for noise-
added images, and 55% for flipped images. We found that the theory's applicabili
ty may be promising for industrial applications, if it can exhibit sequence path
changes and saccadic distance changes dynamically during Recognition.

Designing A Networked Java Action Game For A Cell Phone
Student Name: Naudina Punch
Abstract
Technology has become an ever-present factor of our lives. Those of us living in
the Western Society cannot get by without it. During the last century the radio
and television have become indispensable tools of modem living. But, as we have
entered upon the twenty-first century we fmd another little mechanism, much les
s obtrusive yet far more dominant. It is the cell phone. This minute apparatus i
s with us everywhere we go. Since the situation is inescapable, we may as well f
md whatever means possible to maximize its usefulness. A number of wise innovato
rs have found the cell phone to be a ready tool of innovation. It has been used
to provide ordinary telephone services, as a clock, for banking transactions, se
nding and receiving text messages, as an instrument for playing games, et cetra.
There seems to be no limit to the versatility of this little mobile instrument.
This thesis shows another feature that can be added to the cell phone. A two pl
ayer networked game. This will provide much more fun than is presently possible,
where only one player can perform at a time. No matter how interesting a game m
ay be, there is intrinsically much more happiness when it can be shared with ano
ther party, instead of one having to play all alone. In this game two persons ma
y engage each other regardless of where they may be physically located at a part
icular moment. A phone may not be a great game device by comparison to modem con
soles or computers, but people have their phones with them almost all the time.
Give them good games to play when away from home, and they will play. This game
is done on the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) which provides a flexible a
nd robust environment for small devices such as cell phones.

Building An Options Trading Analysis Tool Using ASP.Net
Student Name: Pien Chen Tsai
Abstract
The world of financial markets is changing more quickly than ever. A host of new
products and financial instruments has been introduced and better understood ag
ainst a backdrop of the digital age of investment that seems to make revolutiona
ry advances daily. The well-understood financial instruments make investment dec
isions easier and more profitable. Successful investment requires knowledge abou
t how the investment works, comfort with the specialized language unique to that
investment, and an understanding of the risks involved. Although it is held as
a general opinion that options are appropriate only for highrolling speculators
willing to take extraordinary risks, this thesis will discuss a simple technique
or trading strategy for using stock options that retail investors can apply to
their own stock portfolio. Options can be used to hedge stock investment positio
ns, or even as a form of insurance against the risk of loss in a stock investmen
t. In other words, stock options can be used as an effective tool to manage or r
educe risks of owning stocks. Options provide far more opportunities and protect
ion than investing solely in stocks. Therefore, this thesis project is also inte
nded to develop a decision support tool using ASP.NET, which is designed to help
return on investment (ROI) analysis for retail investors to take advantage of s
tock options trading strategies in order to enhance portfolio performance and fu
rther mitigate stock price risks involved in equity investment.

Digital Video Transmission over Wireless Channels
Student Name: P Wang
Graduation Date: June 2003
Abstract
Wireless technology has become the most exciting area in telecommunication and n
etworking. The rapid growth of mobile telephone use, various satellite services,
and now the wireless Internet are generating tremendous changes in telecommunic
ations and networking. Wireless is convenient and often less expensive to deploy
than fixed service, but wireless is not perfect. There are limitations, politic
al and technical difficulties that may ultimately prevent wireless technologies
from reaching their full potential. Regardless of the design of the transmission
system, there will be errors, resulting in the change of one or more bits in a
transmitted frame. In this thesis, we focus on different characteristics of wire
less channels and their applications to video transmission framework. Channel co
ding and interleaving techniques have long been recognized as an effective techn
ique for combating the deleterious effects of noise, interference, jamming, fadi
ng, and other channel impairments. The basic idea of channel coding is to introd
uce controlled redundancy into the transmitted signals that is exploited at the
receiver to correct channel induced errors by means of forward error correction.
Channel coding can also be used for error detection in schemes that employ auto
matic repeat request (ARQ) strategies. ARQ strategies must have a feedback chann
el to relay the retransmission requests from the receiver back to the transmitte
r when errors are detected. ARQ schemes require buffering at the transmitter and
/or receiver and, therefore, are suitable for data applications but are not suit
able for delay sensitive voice applications. Problem of video transmission over
wireless channels has been addressed in literature. In this thesis, we will pres
ent a review of these techniques. However, we will mainly focus on different cha
racteristics of wireless channels and their implications on video transmission f
ramework. Therefore, before discussing specific tools in chapter 7, we first pre
sent the characteristics of wireless channels in chapter 5 and chapter 6. In cha
pter 8, we present the performance of the protocol, based on a network simulatio
n. In chapter 9, we present conclusions and future work.

A Cross Platform Web Service Implementation using SOAP
Student Name: Richard Huang
Graduation Date: January 2003
Abstract
SOAP's place in the web services technology stack is as a standardized packaging
protocol for the messages shared by the applications. It uses Extensible Markup
Language (XML) as the mechanism for information exchange. Since Web protocols a
re installed and are available for application by all major operating system pla
tforms, HTTP and XML provide an already at-hand solution to the problem of how p
rograms run under different operating systems in a network. SOAP specifies exact
ly how to encode an HTTP header and an XML file so that a program in one compute
r can call a program in another computer and pass its information. It also speci
fies how the called program can return a response. SOAP is XML. That is, SOAP is
an application of the XML specification. It relies heavily on XML standards lik
e XML Schema and XML Namespaces for its definition and function. XML messaging i
s where applications exchange information using XML documents. It provides a fle
xible way for applications to communicate, and forms the basis of SOAP. All SOAP
messages are encoded using XML. In this thesis, web services, SOAP, WSDL and UD
DI are discussed. A web service which queries stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance u
sing SOAP under different server platforms (JAVA and ASP) is implemented and com
pared in this project.

Software Agent
Student Name: Daniel Li
Abstract
"Agent" and "agent software" have become popular words in computer software. The
reason why this area gains the popularity is because it is based upon AI (Artif
icial Intelligence) but works only in its specific field, like a narrowly focuse
d AI program. Agent software has been developed for many different uses in a var
iety of areas because of its extraordinary ability of adapting to the specific f
ield of interest. This project first presents an overview of the software agent,
which starts from the introduction of the definition of the software agent, its
terminology, its formal frameworks and its other basics. Afterwards, the concep
ts and specifications of 'smart' agent framework are brought into context to des
cribe how the software agent works behind the scene. This includes action, opera
tion, autonomous behavior and communication of agents. The way that a software a
gent generates its goals of achievement and to evaluation of its progress is als
o very important in keeping agent working in the right path. Next, we discuss th
e new generation of intelligent software agents to take a brief look at how an i
ntelligent software agent can complete its tasks and what it can do in the prese
nt time. The Growing Book project is a very typical software agent application t
hat helps distance learning students obtain the correct course material. With th
e correct input of a username and password, the students will have all the class
material available for them in a short time on their local computer. This saves
a lot of work for students and it also greatly decreases the chance that studen
ts may download the wrong material. On the other hand, this agent protects the c
lass material file server from access by outsiders. A scenario of the Growing Bo
ok software agent is included in the Appendix A.

Companies without controlled doors cannot ensure the security and safety of thei
r employees, nor can they prevent piracy and theft. Networks without controlled
access cannot guarantee the security or privacy of stored data, nor can they kee
p network resources from being exploited by hackers. This study adopts several d
ifferent firewall programs and uses Windows 2000 Server as the platform to test,
and ultimately compare in detail, two different facets of each program, functio
nality and performance. Network security is always the most important issue of t
he company. From this study, recommendations will be provided through the testin
g of the firewall programs. When a company starts to use a firewall or other sec
urity measures, the performance of the network will be reduced. Trade-offs betwe
en security of the network and ease of access must be resolved. However, the sol
ution to the negative aspects of firewalls is another issue to be dealt with in
the future.

Data Mining in a Library
Student Name: Kun-Lin Tsai
Graduation Date: April 2002
Abstract
This system is designed for librarians to help them manage the library easily. D
ata Mining is an inductive data analysis method. It involves different kinds of
technologies, solutions and techniques. Because of its pattern-recognition featu
re, it can be applied to a large database. Data mining software can relate one f
ield to the other fields in the database. It can be used to analyze the on-line
users' behavior and to predict the future potential users. Now, we can apply dat
a mining to library systems using artificial intelligence technology. This syste
m will focus on using interactive feedback. For KSI students who use the library
frequently, it can help students to find information, and build a more useful K
SI library system. This project will provide many kinds of statistic results and
enhance our current library system to reach this goal. The Application Program
Interface (API) of the system was designed by using Java Servlet technology and
combining it with the database of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

An Online Health Consulting and Shopping Center implemented by Java Server Pages
Student Name: Hsien-Min Yeh
Abstract
Electronic commerce (e-commerce) has been sweeping the globe. For a long time, i
nformation technology was mainly passive; users went online and downloaded data.
Today, information technology offers interactive and communication functions, w
hich makes e-commerce more than a fad. Now, it has become a part of the way peop
le live their lives. Dynamic Web sites contain Web pages that display constantly
changing content; a technique that is an important foundation of e-commerce. Th
ere are two ways to achieve dynamic content generation: programmatic content gen
eration, and template-based content generation. Java servlets falls into the fir
st category, while JavaServer Pages (JSP) belongs to the second category. JSP is
a simple but powerful technology used to generate dynamic HTML on the server si
de. They are a direct extension of Java servlets and provide a way to separate c
ontent generation from content presentation. In this project, Tomcat was adopted
to be the JSP engine and this thesis designs an online health consulting and sh
opping center that can provide users personal dietary assessment, nutritional ne
ws, professional knowledge of nutrition, special diets for patients, the posting
of questions and shopping for nutritional supply products. On the other hand, t
he project connects to a Microsoft Access database using a type 1 JDBC-ODBC Brid
ge, plus ODBC driver. In this way, staff can easily manage different kind of inf
ormation in the database of this health center. In short, JSP is more convenient
to write by using conventional HTML writing tools and easier to modify because
only the dynamic parts need to be changed when updating a web page. Furthermore,
JSP with Java is more flexible because they are platform independent.

JAVA Security on the Internet
Student Name: Lifeng Zhang
Abstract
Whenever someone uses a Java-enabled browser like Netscape Navigator or Microsof
t Internet Explorer to surf the Web, he becomes a java user. All Java users are
taking security risks, because most java code is automatically downloaded across
the network and runs on the user's machine. The hostile Java programs could tra
sh their machine. Fortunately, the creators of Java made a good effort to protec
t users from these hazards. Security for the Java Platform has multiple layers.
First of all, the Java language is strongly typed and does not include any unsaf
e constructs, such as array accesses without index checking. Second, mechanisms
(for example, class loaders) are in place to ensure a sufficient degree of separ
ation between multiple Java programs. Third, access to crucial system resources
is mediated by the Java virtual machine. A security manager is installed to deny
all requests for unauthorized access. The Java 2 and the latest version incorpo
rate a security architecture that support policy-driven, fine-grained, flexible,
and extensible access control. This thesis is meant to introduce basic concepts
of Java and about risks, and to provide a general overview of Java security in
distributed program environments and give references for more detailed informati
on.

An E-commerce Implementation Using JAVA Servlet,JSP and MySQL
Student Name: Tung-Lin Tsai
Abstract
E-commerce has changed the global business-model and economic structure complete
ly. The Internet's development has created a global electronic marketplace that
goes beyond the limitation of time and space. Server-side Java and database are
a perfect combination for an E-commerce web site development. An example for tha
t is a JavaServer Page (JSP), Servlet engine such as the Apache Jakarta project'
s Tomcat, and a database like MySQL. All of them are freely available and have a
n open source. Java Servlet and JSP technology provide an attractive alternative
compared to other types of dynamic Web scripting/programming. These attractive
things are platform independence, enhanced performance, separation of logic from
display, ease of administration, extensibility into the enterprise and most imp
ortantly, the ease of use. MySQL database is fast in retrieving data and very re
liable. Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) offer MySQL at little or no extra
charge. This project will attempt to build a small to midsize E-commerce web si
tes by using Java Servlet and JSP technology and combining them with MySQL datab
ase.

A Survey and Implementation of E-Commerce in Supply Chain Management
Student Name: Hui-Chun Lee
Abstract
With the growth of the Internet, more and more companies are dedicated to e-busi
ness. Supply chain management has been deemed as one of the useful tools for bus
inesses to promote their competitiveness, and to build up their trust relationsh
ip with up and down stream businesses. In order to link the whole value chain, i
nformation technology (IT) application has already been essential for enterprise
s. This study adopts a database-oriented approach and uses a server side program
, Java Servlets, to manage a web-based inventory management system. The idea is
to make information readily and easily available to people who are interested in
the data. Once a company integrates the all-internal systems, it can further co
mbine its up and down stream businesses. In conclusion, enterprises must converg
e enterprise resource planning (ERP), electronic supply chain management (E-SCM)
, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems to win competitive advantag
e. Usually, it may take couple of years to build an integrated ERP system and E-
SCM system. Information technology provides a more efficient way to build the sy
stem.

A Survey of Encryption Algorithms
Student Name: Julie A. Cronin
This paper introduces major topics of cryptography such as basic terminology and
encryption methods. It then discusses the two types of encryption algorithms av
ailable, which are symmetric and public-key. These two types are compared based
on how keys are distributed and implementation. Next, the only known algorithm t
hat is considered perfectly secure, a one-time pad, is discussed and why it is r
arely used in spite of its strong security. A chapter devoted to key management
follows this. A separate section is devoted to key management, because even if a
n algorithm is considered tightly secure it becomes weak if the key used with th
e algorithm is improperly managed. The third chapter is devoted to the Data Encr
yption Standard(DES), because it is considered one of the strongest algorithms c
urrently available to the public, and marks the beginning of widespread interest
in cryptography. Finally, conclusions are made about which type of algorithms a
re strong and what implementations they are best suited for. A reiteration on th
e management of keys is included in this final section.

COMPUTER SIMULATION OF Queueing SYSTEMS: CSQS
Student Name: Tongyou Ji
Graduation Date: August 20,1999
Simulation generally involves some kind of model or simplified representation. D
uring the course of a simulation, the model mimics important elements of what is
being simulated. A simulation model may be a physical model, a mental conceptio
n, a mathematical model, a computer model, or some combination of all of these.
Computer simulation is currently used in a wide range of applications, since phy
sical models are often relatively expensive to build and unwieldy to move. Queui
ng systems are used to characterize a broad class of processes sharing a common
mathematical structure but which may include many diverse physical realizations.
All these processes are stochastic processes with three characteristics, which
can be used to describe the system: an input process, a service mechanism, and a
queue discipline. The presence of uncertainty is the thing which makes these sy
stems challenging to analyze and design, since randomness in one or more of thes
e three characteristics is the rule rather than the exception. Furthermore, the
distributions used to describe these events may be nonstationary, which adds fur
ther complication to their study.

Network Security
Student Name: Eric L. Schmitt
Network Security begins with a brief look at how to design and implement effecti
ve security measures, which begins with a well-planned Security Policy. We open
with an assessment of what equipment, data, and software the company has, what t
he company is trying to protect, what is at risk and what the threats are agains
t those items at risk. This discussion includes who should be involved in the de
velopment of company policy and a brief look into possible policy items covering
passwords, access, the Internet, firewalls, computer viruses, and encryption. W
e continue with an overview of backups, destruction of media, response to intrus
ions/policy violations/incidents, and a recovery plan. Next we provide a brief o
verview of some threats and a few possible solutions to those threats. Which inc
ludes viruses, Trojans, some email issues, denial of service, passwords, sniffer
s, spoofing, and the role of Telnet in attacks. We are given a brief look at Int
ernet/World Wide Web languages and their security problems. This is followed by
a similar discussion about operating systems/network software. The importance of
logging and auditing is briefly covered, as are firewalls and the services they
provide. Moving on we will look at using encryption for email, communications,
and data storage. We will wrap things up with a brief look at some security soft
ware packages and training options.

TSJ: A WEB-BASED TEACHING SYSTEM USING JAVA
Student Name: Chien-Ju Lee
The purpose of this thesis is to design a teaching system that helps children to
learn elementary biology - such as insect species and their structure, life cyc
le, habitat, and so on - on the World Wide Web. Java, which was developed by Sun
Microsystems, is a simple, robust, object-oriented, platform-independent, multi
threaded, dynamic, general-purpose, architecture neutral programming environment
. The crucial difference between a Java-based program and a traditional PC appli
cation is that Java programs are, by nature, network-aware and truly distributed
. As creatures of the Internet, Java programs offer all the benefits of locally
executed programs including responsiveness, and the capability to take advantage
of local computing resources and even the global Internet. Based on these advan
tages, this project will be implemented using Java as the main tool. Other Inter
net Web programming languages, such as Hypertext Markup Language, Standard Commo
n Gateway Interface, and JavaScript, are used as secondary tools. On the Interne
t, this project will provide a very interesting, creative and active environment
through Java for children and their parents.

A Survey And Performance Comparison of Dynamic HTMLs
Student Name: Tzu-Sheng Su
Graduation Date: December 1, 1998
Netscape and Internet Explorer are the most widely used Internet browsers in the
world. Last year Netscape and Microsoft Company created a new technology, calle
d Dynamic HTML. Dynamic HTML is the world of point-and-click, drag-and-drop. Wit
h Dynamic HTML, one can layer multiple images on top of one another, precisely c
ontrol the layout of a Web page, and add new interactivity and much more without
using Java. This can be accomplished by using existing technologies and feature
s on the Web, including HTML, scripting, and object-oriented programming. Some c
onflict exists between these two products. One browser's technique cannot work w
ith the other. Netscape Communicator's plug-in cannot work on Internet Explorer,
because Internet Explorer uses Active X. They are created in different ways; ea
ch one has a different effect. In this thesis, a comparison will be made by desi
gning several programs to demonstrate the difference between these two browsers.

Graduation Date: November 1, 1998
The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is the Object Management G
roup's answer to the need for interoperability among the rapidly proliferating n
umber of hardware and software products available today. Simply stated, CORBA al
lows applications to communicate with one another no matter where they are locat
ed or who has designed them. Object Management Group (OMG) introduced CORBA 1.1
in 1991. It defined the Interface Definition Language (IDL) and the Application
Programming Interfaces (API) that enable client/server object interaction within
a specific implementation of an Object Request Broker (ORB). The purpose of thi
s project is to introduce the CORBA architecture, services, and IDL. I have buil

A Rule-Based System Verification Tool Using a Matrix Approach
Student Name: Chao-hua Lin
Graduation Date: August, 1998
This project proposes to use matrix formalism for the verification of rule-based
systems. The matrix operation is one of the mathematical foundations of Petri N
ets. This approach is different from directed hypergraphs and Predicate/Transiti
on net (Pr/T net) in rule-based systems verification. The errors in rule-based s
ystems fall into two parts. One is the syntactic error; the other one is the sem
antic error. This project will focus on semantic errors. Typical semantic errors
in a rule-based system consist of four types. They are redundancy, inconsistenc
y, circularity, and incompleteness. This project presents a tool implemented in
JAVA to verify these semantic errors. The program consists of the following phas
es. First, the program will normalize the rules into Horn clauses and rearrange
these normalized rules. Then, it will transform these rules into matrix form and
the verify matrix to find semantic errors. This paper also describes how to bui
ld a diagnosis system and use a verification tool to verify the rule base. This
diagnosis system will diagnose liver diseases using Chinese Traditional Medicine
(CTM). In this paper, chapter one outlines the general concepts of expert syste
ms. Chapter two describes the knowledge base verification. Chapter three discuss
es more details about semantic errors. The different approaches to verify rule-b
ased systems are described in chapter four. Chapter five describes the matrix ap
proach for rule-based systems. Illustrations are shown in Chapter six. Finally,
Chapter seven gives the conclusion.

A Client/server Networking Application using JAVA: JWBCB
Student Name: Yu-Lung Lu
Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. A
useful feature of Java is that its programs can be executed on World Wide Web p
ages. Java programs enable Web pages t i become more interactive with users. The
Java language consists of classes and methods that provide basic variable types
, system input and output capabilities, and other functions. It also includes cl
asses to support networking, Internet protocols, and graphical user interface fu
nctions. Java's networking capabilities are contained in the java.net package. S
tream sockets and datagram sockets are provided by Java. With stream sockets a p
rocess creates a connection to another process. When the connection is establish
ed, data flows between the processes in the stream. JWBCB (Java Whiteboard and C
hatBoard) is the network application, using the client/server model, developed f
or this thesis. Its implementation deepened the author's understanding of basic
Java networking capabilities and client/server networking concepts.

DYNAMIC HTML IN INTERNET EXPLORER 4
Student Name: Chin-Chang Wu
Graduation Date: August 5, 1998
Welcome to the dawn of the point-and-click, drag-and-drop, interactive Web, Also
to the new future technology - Dynamic HTML. What is Dynamic HT'ML? Dynamic HTM
L is a combination of technologies, including HTML HyperText Markup Language), s
cripting, and object-oriented programming combined to create individual Web page
s. It is not a new version of HTML, it is not a new scripting language, and it i
s not a new way of structuring documents. It is a new way of tying all of those
pieces together to make pages that cross the traditional static Web page boundar
y. But in technology, one can just say Dynamic HTML. relieves a Web server's loa
d by shifting the processing demands for animation, data processing, and other i
nteractive features to the client machine. Why Dynamic HTML? Dynamic HTML makes
extensive use of new style sheet specifications to give a Web author more contro
l over the exact placement and appearance of elements on the Web page. Therefore
, Dynamic HTMI. seems to be the future Hyper Text Markup language for Web page a
uthors. It is necessary to research the implementation of Dynamic HTML within We
b pages and to explain how the ActivX controls work in Dynamic HTML.

A Network Application using VBWB
Student Name: Jenn-Iong Chang
Graduation Date: August 5, 1998
Data communications (computer communications) is commonly used in everyday life.
What makes it possible? Largely the TCP/IP protocol. In this thesis, we study h
ow TCP/IP works with a socket of an application program and how the Visual Basic
socket custom control works with TCP/IP in a Microsoft Windows implementation.
In this project, we use Visual Basic to implement a Network Whiteboard applicati
on. Whiteboard is an interactive, two-view environment, in which users can creat
e programs by manipulating concrete pictorial data or examples of data structure
s, or by entering it into a text editor. The users can move back and forth betwe
en the visual and text Editors. By providing both a visual and a textual represe
ntation, it should be possible to determine those operations which a programmer
views as intrinsically visual on one hand and textual on the other.

3D Simulation System with Dynamic Object Design
Student Name: Jin-Ghee Lu
The purpose of this project is to develop a general-purpose graphical simulation
system. It provides users an environment to conduct simple 3D simulation. To ex
periment with a simulation model, users must create a simulation scene, construc
t or use existing objects, then put them into the scene to run. By adjusting the
proper behaviors of the objects, the system can run under different scenarios a
nd accomplish specific results. The three-dimensional graphics techniques in the
system implements OpenGL library. OpenGL supplies a lot of graphics commands, w
hich produce very impressive 3D objects. This project also provides a script lan
guage for users to design their simulation models. They can use simple object-de
finition statements to create objects with polygons, boxes and other elements, t
hen incorporate them with certain behaviors for them to move or act. After loadi
ng a script file into the system, users can execute the scenario and watch the s
ystem perform an animated simulation. Users can also modify the behaviors of the
objects until they serve the purpose of the model. Since the composition of an
object is object-based, the architecture of the project should be object-oriente
d. This project is developed under Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0. It uses Visual C++
and Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) to design the major application architectur
e and user interface, implements the object classes and functions using C++, and
invokes OpenGL commands and C functions to display three-dimensional objects an
d perform animation and interaction.

Abstract This project is intended to build a framework of a loan pricing model t
o determine loan interest rate for a commercial bank. The major task of this loa
n pricing model illustrates a conceptual guideline and methodology in order to p
rocess loan transaction more efficiently. The model of this project contains fol
lowing major procedures: 1. Determining the cost of loan fund to be utilized in
a loan transaction. 2. Developing a credit rating calculation and identify the r
ating category for corporate loan applicants. 3. Distributing the risk premium b
ased on rating category. 4. Charging the overhead experience to reflect the cost
of the loan. 5. Allocating the target profit of the loan transaction to achieve
a desired return for the bank's management. Although some issues of this model
may need further discussion, this model, however, provides a fundamental approac
h for a bank staff to process loan transactions.
A Survey of Distance Learning
Student Name: Vincenzo Devito
Abstract
Distance Education is defined as a planned teaching/learning experience that use
s a wide spectrum of technologies to reach learners at a distance and it is desi
gned to teach students who do not have easy access to a traditional classroom. W
ith this kind of technology one can teach to a remote site such as a rural area
or it can make corporate training more economical.
With the advent of the new technologies distance learning is a convenient rather
than a necessary learning tool. The tools that can be used are: videotape recor
ders, computers, telephones, videoconferencing, faxes, etc. Schools using distan
t education include K-12, high schools, colleges and graduate schools. The diffe
rent forms of distance education are: a. Synchronous -- where students get lesso
ns in real-time, as it happens. b. Asynchronous -- where lessons are stored for
later study. Asynchronous has the potential to be used 24 hours a day. There are
several benefits to asynchronous education such as: a) Ability to see and repla
y class presentation on demand b) On-line record of all class presentations, rea
dings, discussions c) On-line submissions, examinations and grade reporting Many
schools are using distant education such as National-Louis University, Walden U
niversity and hundreds of others listed in Bear's Guide to Earning College degre
es non- traditionally, and Thorson's Campus-Free College Degrees, listed in the
bibliography.
In this thesis we will see how New York University, Knowledge Systems Institute
and Wayne State University have used distance learning.

Full Text Indexing Technology Applying To Web Pages
Student Name: Chun-Liang Tung
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to improve IBM's Storage And Information Retrieval
System(STAIRS) and use the modified theory (Full Text Indexing Technology) to d
esign a full-text-index search engine on the Internet. The design and implementa
tion of the Full Text Indexing Technology (FTIT) can help people to efficiently
search for useful information on the huge Internet.
The FTIT search engine consists of the spider, the database, and the search tool
. The spider, which delves and retrieves the web content from the Internet, stor
es all of the valid tokens to a database of the FTIT search engine. The database
, which is a kind of knowledge base database, collects a great deal of informati
on about valid tokens such as the name of valid tokens, the attributes of valid
tokens, and the addresses of home pages. The search tool, which is a search util
ity, looks for information in the database of the FTIT search engine and reports
the result of the searching task to users via CGI.
In order to achieve the purpose of explaining the function of FTIT, the thesis w

e Chinese Chess game. Implemented with Visual Basic and a socket custom control,
the application works in the client/server model, with TCP/IP network protocol,
under the 32-bit Windows environment. Readers may find that using the Visual Ba
sic socket custom control to implement an application using TCP/IP is not very d
ifficult.

The Design Of A Library On-Line Search Application
Student Name: Anbin Huang
Abstract
This thesis concerns the design of a Library On-Line Search Application for Know
ledge Systems Institute library books. It is based on the Internet Web programmi
ng. Three Web programming methods have been used to implement the book search th
rough the Internet. They are HTML, CGI and Java.
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, keeps everything on the World
Wide Web anchored to a common ground. It makes the Web dynamic. One of the power
ful features of HTML is its this special HTML feature, we catalog all the books
in the library and connect them all in the Web page. This is the first test of t
he project.
Secondly we use a special mechanism that supports the dynamic creation of HTML d
ocuments. This mechanism is based on the invocation of external applications, us
ually referred to as CGI scripts, that run under the auspices of a WWW server, a
nd that are called by the client browser in the form of an ordinary- looking URL
from the Web document currently in use. CGI, which stands for Common Gateway In
terface, supplies the middleware between WWW servers and external databases and
information sources. We use CGI applications to perform the book search processi
ng and formatting tasks on behalf of their WWW servers.
Thirdly we use Java, one of the most popular Web programming languages, to imple
ment the on-line book search.
