Project Title 1: EPIC (Environment for Programming in C++)

Brief Description
A program to help create programs in C++ (or another OOP) starting at the design 
phase. Create UML diagrams, then generate headers and stubs, compile, edit and
debug with the same program. (Like Rational Rose fused with Borland C++)

Identify Local Users:
Target users would be C++ programmers, especially beginning to intermediate 
students.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
        Useful to others: 5
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 5
        Divisible: 5
        In C++ on Suns: 4

        Overall: 5

Pros:
- easily divisible
- specific target users
- quite a useful tool (esp. for Brown CS dept.)

Cons:
- complex tasks may difficult to get working given time constraints.

Project Title 2:

Brief Description
A graphical front-end to the LaTeX document formatting system. Users will be 
able to enter text and place and format it as they see fit. Also table entries, 
bibliographic databases, and other features of LaTeX will be available. Also 
possible may be conversion between MS Word/Word Perfect and LaTeX.

Identify Local Users:
Any typical word processing users, especially those who use word processors 
for mainly scientific writing.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
        Useful to others: 4
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 5
        Divisible: 3
        In C++ on Suns: 3.5

        Overall: 4

Pros:
- makes a somewhat cumbersome but very useful tool easier to use

Cons:
- not necessarily very divisible

Project Title 3:

Brief Description
A "complete" tool for dealing with class registration. Provides ability to 
perform complex searches of course offerings (ex. department and meeting time)
integrated with registration. "Smart" registration would warn you of conflicts 
in registration (meeting time, exam group) to aid in proper registration.

Identify Local Users:
Students looking to register for classes/

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
        Useful to others: 5
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 2
        Divisible: 3
        In C++ on Suns: 4

        Overall: 3.5

Pros:
- extraordinarily useful

Cons:
- security issues with registration?
- very similar to existing tools (would involve mostly integration)
