Robot Kit Development Fall 2005 - Spr 2006 |
GA-2 | The objective is to develop a set of components for a more advanced robot kit, than one currently in use in our MSACS course. A set of components (perhaps from different vendors) that provide additional motion capabilities and control is desired. The work would partly consist of searching the web and other sources for different compoenents which can be made to work together, and assembling a "kit" which can then be purchased for each student in the course. Some components will be purchased and evaluated by the student, so this project will include some robotics hands-on experience. STUDENT BACKGROUND: Interest in robotics. |

Distance Technology Support Fall 2005 - Spring 2006 |
GRA | This project is to support and enhance the MSACS distance learning technology system TEGRITY and other distance technologies including the MSACS web site, and assembling the Dell Cluster and connecting to the SURAGrid. This will require on-campus work. |

Embedded Design Tool Fall 2005 - Spring 2006 |
GRA |
This project is to continue development of an existing project, which is tool to assist embedded
systems engineers in designing systems targeted for a single-chip multiprocessor platform.
The project involves GUI development to interface with the existing analysis and mapping engine.
STUDENT BACKGROUND: GUI development in some language.

Study of Storage and Retrieval Methods for Software Reuse Libraries. Fall 2005-Spring 2006 |
GRA | Development with reuse requires prior knowledge of available reusable software components and reuse libraries. The organization of assets, the library structure, and the navigation methods are known areas of research. This work is a study of the various classes of storage and retrieval methods and their attributes, such as asset nature/type, asset representation, storage structure and asset organization, query representation, navigation methods/approaches, and relevance and matching conditions. In particular, to gain further understating of approaches for asset organization, options for library structures, and current models for navigation and component identification. |

Linux Device Drivers for Embedded ARM System. Fall 2005-Spring 2006 |
GRA | This project will provide working Linux drivers for the LCD display and keypad to be used with the TS-7200 ARM processor system. This project will provide tools and examples for future students to either create new Linux drivers or to create more complex projects using these new drivers. |
