Guidelines for project reports

For the project report, please use the ``latex'' (version available for Windows and Linux). See the definition of Latex from Wikipedia. You can download the MikTEX. The The Not So Short Introduction to LATEX is a good manual that I would recommend. Please use Bibtex for the references. Please use the templates from IEEE publications site.

If you have any questions, please post it to the class emailing address which would be useful for the other students since there are some students in the class who have experience with latex.

NOTE If you would like to propose your own project, please provide 1 page summary of the proposed project. The project proposals must be turned in to the instructor no later than end of the second week of classes. Attaching files via email is strictly prohibited. You are welcome to post your project proposals on a web site where the instructor can download or bring a hard copy to the class.

Possible Software Engineering II Class Projects

Project 1: Stock information sharing website

Your job is to create a website that allows user to discuss their viewpoints on various stocks trading on stock exchanges. The users should be able to share their portfolio for others to view. The website should be able to track the portfolio performance of users and rank them.

Project 2: Shopping planner

Develop a website where you can give a list of all the items that you intend to buy. It can suggest all nearest places where you can get the things on your list with the most affordable prices. Based on the pricing information, the system can provide an optimal route to cover the least distance while visiting all locations.

Project 3: Deals aggregator/alert generator

Develop a website that can give information for all the deals available for a particular item. If you specify the resources where you would like the search to be performed, it will pull information from those websites only. Otherwise, information from all available resources will be provided. It should also give the user the option of requesting an alert if an item matching his/her required specifications becomes available.

Project 4: Equation Extraction

Scientific papers are typically filled with equations and analysis. To make use of those relationships, it is typically necessary to manually wade through the paper, searching for the equations that are useful. Your job is build a piece of software that automatically extracts and stores equations from PDF files. The equations should be stored in MathML so that they can be searched for later on. Automatically extracting these equations will enable a new kind of web search that will help scientists and engineers everywhere.

Project 5: Software Engineering in Wireless Sensor Networks

Survey projects on how software engineering techniques and methologies have been used within wireless sensor networks.

Project 6: Software Engineering in Urban Sensing and Pervasive Computing

Survey projects on how software engineering techniques and methologies have been used within urban sensing and pervasive mobile computing.

Project 7: Software Engineering in Social Networking

Survey projects on how software engineering techniques and methologies have been used within social networking.

Project 8: Software Engineering in Education

Survey projects on how software engineering techniques and methologies have been used within undergraduate and/or graduate education in academia.

Project 9: Agile software development methodologies

Agile development is becoming more widely used both amongst the academia and software industry. However, there are still many unanswered questions. Your job is to survey the current research initiatives and provide comparison studies between different methodologies (similiarities and differences). You must have at least 9 methodologies in the survey.

Project 10: Software Configuration Management (SCM) Tools

SCM tools are essential for the software development. Your job is to survey the current, most widely used SCM tools and provide comparison studies between different tools (similiarities and differences). Feel free to include both academic and commercially available tools. You must have at least 9 tools in the survey.

Project 11: Software Project Cost and Effort Estimation Tools

Estimating the software cost and effort are essential for delivering the software to the clint in timely manner and within the specified budget. Your job is to survey the current, most widely used software project cost and effort estimation tools and provide comparison studies between different tools (similiarities and differences). Feel free to include both academic and commercially available tools. You must have at least 9 tools in the survey.
