The Netvis Monitoring tool is a way for Administrators to easily visualize and maintain their network. The purpose of the tool is to simplify the Network Administrator's life by giving them the tools to see their network as well as a way to resolve any issues with connectivity throughout the network. Our solution is a much more cost-effective and user friendly alternative to some of the administrator's tools currently on the market. It utilizes several exceptional open source tools and combines them into a customizable tool for our customers. The Configuration tool automatically collects network data and sends the data to our Database. It has a function for launching the Network diagram from itself.

The Network Diagram is interactive and is being implemented with the Leap Motion controller for easier viewing. It shows the layout of any system no matter the complexity.

Our Web interface is simplistic yet functional. It gives the user a clean and interesting view of the hosts on a network and has the potential to inform the administrator when a certain host loses its connection to the network.

The purpose of this project is to create an in-browser phone menu visualizer for Bolder Thinking's Cloud-Based VOIP phone system for call centers. Their current method of building a phone menu consists of a lot of buttons, drop down lists, and text areas, but doesn't have a way to visually view the structure of the menus. Our task was to create a user-friendly system that allows for basic editing and creation of call flow procedures, and displays them visually in a tree-like structure.

The Network Dashboard's purpose is to easily display their agent's subscriber's network latency, send emails to the customers when there are errors, and make it easier to troubleshoot problems. Our capstone group was tasked to implement the search function and make the program more intuitive for other users. The search function allows the user to view a drilled down view of the subscribers. They are able to view as many subscribers as they would like. We also aim to add user functionality so there are both admin views and user views (for the various agents) based on their accounts permissions.

Business Applications

• Allows all of CNE's Agents to view their subscriber's data usage.
• Provides a way to look at a specific subscriber's data in order to view what has been happening with their account.
• Gives the ability for CNE to monitor their agents as a whole or individually, with any time period they would like.
• Allows the user to see what the sources of data usage are in order to help troubleshoot subscriber's issues.

This project will gather metrics (statistics) upon IBM's Open Stack integration system. The integration system used is Jenkins which is perfect for an open source project with high volume bug reports and update requests submitted. Once gathered, they will be sent to a server that will collect the data for further analysis. The metrics will be displayed using a web based graphing platform. These graphs will display the resulting data so that the Open Stack continuous integration environment can be updated and improved. The system will then be installed using a infrastructure management system, such as Ansible or Chef

Administrative software doesn't have to be boring. Enter TimeUp, the innovative and interactive project time tracking system developed by us, under the supervision and guidance of the SAP professionals at Inwerken.

Our team was tasked with implementing a program capable of allowing employees and bosses the ability to view and enter working hours from their PC, tablet, or cell phone. The powerful SAPUI5 framework, along with following the model/view/controller design pattern, provided a simple way for us to accomplish this goal.

Using the MVC pattern, our team developed (with the help of our mentor, Danilo), several views and data models. The controllers does the legwork behind the scenes, and all three elements work together to create the beautiful web interface that you can see in our project

The John Deere Patent Application is a new application created from the ground up to provide the user with an easy way to search for patents throughout the world. This application allows the user to search, save, and analyze patent data with an intuitive and user friendly interface.

Features include:

• Advanced search tools
• Displaying and saving sets of patents
• Local Storage of patent information
• Patent citation analytics through a generated network graph
• And much more...

Advanced search tools allows the user to search by a variety of criteria. Such criteria includes patent number, title, any phrase, filing/issue dates, assignee, inventor, and more. The search is done by Google's search API with results displayed below the search criteria.

A user can also store patents in a set or view previously created set. This is done by right clicking any patent including citations and family patents, from the search page to the patent information page. Once a patent in saved to set, the set is saved as a text file with each patent number the user has saved.

To reduce bandwidth usage, we have implemented a database that stores patent information that the user selects to display. So when the user selects a patent that has been previously view, the patent information will be taken from the local database instead of Google Patents. The database can also be updated to ensure that locally stored patent information is kept up to date.

Patents also have many citations that can reveal certain information that Google Patents does not provide. We have designed a network graph that can visualize forward/backward citations and family patents of a selected patent. This is done by right clicking any patent including citations and family patents, from the search page to the patent information page.

Microsoft Dynamics AX is a large Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software product that helps businesses manage everything from accounts, to employees, to inventory. A software product this large can be difficult to navigate, with thousands of forms in many modules. Microsoft wants to make this software more usable by simplifying navigation for its users. Minimizing the number of clicks and keystrokes to complete tasks would make a more positive user experience for future updates to Dynamics AX.

Solution
Microsoft is able to collect anonymous telemetry data from Dynamics AX users, and our goal is to glean useful information from this data. To accomplish this we created a library of functions for R, an open source statistical software. This library provides a simple way to import and clean telemetry data from Event Tracer for Windows from a .csv file. Once the data is imported, the user can access a variety and features and functions build into this R package. This package is fully documented and meets R standards, so any user familiar with R can easily learn the functions and capabilities.

Features

• Graphical modeling of navigation paths
• Various statistics on usage sessions and forms
• Categorizations of user sessions by group and development team
• Statistical comparisons between users
• Aggregated graphs and statistics for all navigation paths

The National Map Beta is a project developed by the National Information Communications Technology of Australia (NICTA) which is akin to other technologies such as Google Maps and Bing Maps. NICTA uses this software to display survey data about the country, such as tax information, government boundaries, and geological formations. The National Map was designed so that anyone can add their own data to the map, but for this to work the data needs to be formatted correctly.

Our first task was to get transportation data for New South Wales, AU to display on the map. We accomplished this by joining geographic data hosted on NICTA's GeoServer with the data provided, and then using Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) to create a shapefile and export it as a KML file, which can be displayed in the National Map.

Once we accomplished this, we were given transportation data for Victoria, AU and a goal of having the data for New South Wales and Victoria display together on the map. However, where the New South Wales data was aggregated categorically based on Local Government Areas (LGAs), the Victoria data was still in large, raw data formats. To manage this data, we wrote scripts to import this data into a PostgreSQL server and aggregate it to match the New South Wales data format. We then joined it with the New South Wales data and applied the same steps to the combined file as we had to the New South Wales data originally, allowing us to visualize both data sets on the National Map from one source file.

Each year UGPTI drives North Dakota roadways taking photos of the road conditions. These photos are used to find where roads are in bad shape. This requires renting a special vehicle at a high cost. This project was to develop a mobile application for an android device that will be mounted to the dashboard of any vehicle and take photos at predefined intervals. The android device stores the date, time, and location with the image. When the user is finished and ready to upload the information, the device waits for a wireless signal before automatically uploading to UGPTI's servers.

Features

• Tutorial that describes how to use the app
• Settings screen allows user to select photo resolution and distance between photos
• Based on the settings: estimates the distance the user can travel and the number of photos the user can take
• A gallery screen where the user can view and delete images
• Upon successful upload, deletes the data off of the user's device
• Images are stored in a database at UGPTI
