================================================================ Name: Rikard E. Grafstroem ================================================================ Questions/comments about the syllabus or project handout: ================================================================ Project Title 1: Statistics package Local Users: y Score Useful to others: y Has specific users: y Can be scaled up to PC product: y Divisible: y In C++ on Suns: y Overall: Try to implement something more user friendly than the Stata package, which lacks an intuitive user interface. Pros: Very useful once implemented, interesting to design it, create a good user interface would be prime. Cons: Maybe not the most interesting thing to write code wise ================================================================ Project Title 2: Student Database Local Users: y Score Useful to others: y Has specific users: y Can be scaled up to PC product: n Divisible: y In C++ on Suns: y Overall: Pros: Could have a very practical use for the CS dept. for a long time, if well-done. Cons: Has a very specific purpose, and if designed poorly, would be very limited in scope to the CS dept. This can probably be remedied with good design and many extensibility features. ================================================================ Project Title 3: GUI Builder Local Users: y Score Useful to others: y Has specific users: y Can be scaled up to PC product: y Divisible: y In C++ on Suns: y Overall: Pros: Could have a wide usage for the UNIX developer community, which lacks user friendly applications in general. User oriented application where the ease of use is our primary concern. Cons: Lacks interesting programming problems. Once the top design is made it's a matter simply creating the screens as designed. ================================================================
