Project Title 1: On-Line Registration System

Brief Description: Targeted for use in school, an on-line registration system that 
	lets students register based on constraints like available number of seats, 
	conflicting times with other classes etc. Can be started on a small scale within
	departments and then extended.

Identify Local Users: Schools and students.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
        Useful to others: y
        Has specific users:y
        Can be scaled up to PC product:y
        Divisible:y
        In C++ on Suns:y

        Overall: good

Pros: Convenience to students. Can always access their registration records. 

Cons: Security is a big issue here. Needs a big database.

Project Title 2: Secure MP3 Music Player

Brief Description: A server thats stores in encrypted format all MP3 files.
	When local users request for a particlar file, the file is sent to the 
	user who can listen to it via an MP3 player on his/her local machine.
	For added security one can make sure that the user cannot download such files
	on his/her machine.

Identify Local Users: People in networked environments.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
        Useful to others: Y 
        Has specific users: Y
        Can be scaled up to PC product: maybe
        Divisible: Y
        In C++ on Suns:Y

        Overall: average

Pros: An entertainment value project. Individual users need not download MP3 files on 
      local machine. Saves space. All files are securely saved on the server.

Cons: Security is again an issue here.

Project Title 3: On Line personal assistant.

Brief Description: With an on-line assistant, one need not have PDA's etc to carry with 
	all the time. With a nice designed graphical interface, this could serve a lot
	of purpose.
	

Identify Local Users: students, professors, working people etc.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
        Useful to others: Y
        Has specific users:Y
        Can be scaled up to PC product: Y
        Divisible:Y
        In C++ on Suns:Y

        Overall:good

Pros: If implemented with a nicely built graphical interface and with features like most 
      PDA's offer i.e address-book, phone book, appontments etc., this could come very
      handy. One can access his/her personal stuff anywhere.

Cons: A secure server needed to store huge amounts of data. Net congestion and low bandwith
      could be a significant problem.
