http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/rpi/2014fall/#/28 - RPI Home page has a feature story on RCOS - That is simply awesome!
RPI is bristling with many activities and the fall semester is going in full swing.
On Tuesday (10/21/2014) We had two talks:
1) Chenrui Cao, Xi Xi, Renjie Xie, Juntao Zhuang - 2W
http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
2) Dan Fang, ZeXin Wan - Smart Schedule http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/smart-schedule/ (mentor Moorthy)
2W - When and Where started an as andoid app in the summer. It is now modified into a web application - so it could be used . They use a server code (that Dave Goldschmidt has coded in his network programming class) and showed a little demo. Right now, 2W shows the building hours and offices located in buildings. They are planning to integrate with google maps.
Smart Schedule is to provie an IOS application (for IPhones) . They have crreated a backend for the schedules. Right now they are building a GUI. There was a suggestion/question to integrate SmartSchedule with course registration/selection. Recurring schedule is another suggestion that came from students.
1)Chandler Dumm, Bikram, Spencer Norris - AskPI-

2) Dan Baek, Robert Hannum, Jacob Abramson - RPI Mobile Dining Hall
Menu http://rcos.rpi.edu/
- self mentored?)
3) Cyril George, Akshay Matta, Matt Corsaro - Plan of Study -

4) Kevin Fung, Darren Lin, Garrett Chang - Emissary -

AskPI is a webapplication built for social application - some voting. Their original aim is to help with student government. During their talk, students suggested that their project could be of more general use. They are planning to write the entire project in javascript with mongodb. The groups effort is to learn something new and provide a useful web application. This goal is nice and hope they achieve their objectives. They showed a demo of their front end. There were suggestions to imporve that. Backend needs more work. That is what they will be working on, This project is looking for a server. Github was suggested as a solution
RPIMobileDining Hall Menu is to parse sodexo menu and to provide an app for RPIMobile (android version). Their HTML scrapping and parsing worked (till sodexo changed its html format). They are providing JSON translation of the HTML. Once that is done, the next step is to incorporate into RPIMobile. Future enhancement will include notification of favorite dishes and choice of dietary restriction menu items.
Plan of Study is to provide a mechanism to help students to choose the required and elective courses to fulfil the graduation requirements. The main problem is to get doubl and dual majors and minors. They showed a front end whch the user can select courses in different semesters. Right now the front end works for EE and ECSE and CS courses. They may also provide a category for different departments. The backend has to provide a prerequisites and alternative courses. This project is a high profile project. It can succeed - but needs a close mentoring to get it in giid shape.
Emissary is a spectator of league of legends games. They also provide undocumented features of leagues of legend games. Realtime visualization of games is another important goal. They have done the project using python. They plan to implement the features in coffeescript. They are wll onto completion of their project.
YumYum is a webapplication to find free food available in campus and elsewhere. They decided against scraping - instead getting theemails and other departmental colloquia where free food is available. Also there are commercial opportunities with hotels. .They have a prototype working - Their project is written in Ruby on Rails. They showed a demo - They will add more features to make their project noteworthy.
In the end a management student (junior) pitched his idea of social connection using IPhones for the choice of clothes. Some of the features included 3D visualization
As usual there were a number of questions and suggestions from students. That made the eveing very pleasant.
