Title : Library System

DougClements

Cathedral High School,Speedway,IN46224

"This program is a library catalogue system. It uses a Microsoft Access 2000 database to store books and cardholders. This program uses MDAC 5 to access the database to add or change information. It allows the user to setup cardholders and books so that the books can be organized, checked-in and checked-out. It's great for a non-profit organization and has a little over 100 users. It is currently available on Download.com and Simtel.net for free download by the public."

Title : Solar 3D (and Solar Sphere)

Joshua Chapman

Taylor University, Upland,IN46989

"Solar 3D is a multi-purpose 3D game engine.Developing the game engine has required a good amount of research into 3D simulation and AI concepts.It includes such features as:

·Object oriented design from the ground up for every game element ·Physics engine, which models environmental forces (such as gravity and drag) as well as collision reaction based on individual object’s mass and air resistance ·Multi-level AI allows for high-level AI which handles common AI problems as well as lower-level AI with more specific behaviors for different characters

The submitted project is a game (Solar Sphere), which is a 3D first person space combat game.It is written using the Solar 3D engine.By using death-match style play and rules, and allowing the player to pick from very different ships, I have created a game unlike any other that I know of in its genre.

Title : The Quest 

AlexKutsenok

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

"The Quest is a graphical computer game I created in my spare time over the last 4 years. The Quest is a unique turn-based role-playing game with an emphasis on tactics and strategy. In the course of the journey, the player will face many fierce monsters and interact with different people that will aid or hinder him in his quest. To achieve victory over his enemies, the player will have to employ cunning strategies, wield mighty weapons, and cast powerful spells. There are 4 different classes to chose from: the Knight, the Mage, the Rogue, and the Monk.Each class plays differently and it will be up to the player to decide how to defeat your enemies. The game is very challenging, and requires quite a bit more than hack-and-slash to succeed. This project favors gameplay, intelligent A.I., and stability over fancy graphics and sound, offering approximately 20 hours of entertainment."

Title : Translator Web Service

PhillipMiller

Ball State University, Muncie,IN47303

"The Translator Web Service translates English words into other languages.It also provides audio translations of the words being pronounced properly and images

of the word to help the user remember it more clearly.This web service will be useful for business or leisure travelers, but it will also be very useful for those trying to acquire new languages because it will aid their pronunciation and recognition of words.It can support many languages and hundreds of thousands of translated words in its database.Because it is a web service, it can be accessed from any device that is internet ready and supports XML, such as cellular phones, web applications, and desktop applications, and several of these applications have already been built, including a web site and a cellular phone application."

Title : DredgeNet

Josh Wingstrom, Sean Graham, Adam Miller, Josh Persons, and Bryan RabelerValparaiso University , Valparaiso,IN46383

"DredgeNet is a utility for routing high-level network traffic and unifying similar network tasks.The current implementation of DredgeNet supports a self-optimizing ring network, providing a backbone for the system.DN is currently written in Java, and is now used to search and retrieve files from other computers on the network.It implements multicasting and a saved database to locate other nodes and locate the DredgeNetwork, then uses both UDP/IP (to search) and TCP/IP (to retrieve files)."

Title : Target and Impact Point Display Program

Neil Erickson, Daniel Greenberg, Jason Jania, Nick Traxler, and Daniel Dilley

Purdue University, Lafayette, IN47904

"This is a project that was proposed by the Boeing Company during our senior Software Engineering course.The goal of the project was to create a fully integrated operational flight program that would run inside the mission computer of an aircraft fighter.

This program needed to estimate the impact point of a dumb bomb at all points during the flight of the aircraft and relay this information along with the target data to the Heads Up Display for the pilot to see.Our team named this project the, ‘Target and Impact Point Display Program.’

This project was completed in a professional manner and required bi-weekly video conferences with our Boeing clients to discuss and convey our progress throughout all phases of development.

This project was a complete success and was verified by Boeing to be a correct solution to the problem."

Title : Choral Library Database

MarkJohnston

Butler University.Indianapolis,IN46228

"This project was designed to give students and faculty easy access to search and view the library of Choral music, located in the basement of Butler’s Lilly Hall. The data is stored in SQL Server and the front end runs as Active Server Pages in any compatible web browser. The user can search for items using a variety of fields and may combine up to 3 items at once using And/Or. There is also an option for browsing the database using a drop-down box to select from any value in selected fields. The user is presented with options for sorting and paging as they begin the text search or browse process. The Details for each record can be viewed by clicking the piece’s File Number from the Search/Browse results. Other components will be added in the future, such as a check in/out system and full data entry/editing capabilities."
