Course Information

See Practical Course Advanced Networking (Summer 2011)

Project Detail

The project is to use Microsoft Hawaii services such as Windows 7, Azure cloud platform and relay services to implement unique and innovative scenarios. It should address or aim to solve unique societal or scientific problems. You could choose project from the table below or you could come up with your creative projects. Take a look at the Hawaii website for existing and on going projects by other students worldwide: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/hawaii/applications/

Project teams

The students will conduct the practical course in small teams. A team usually consists of two or three students. Teams will be formed at the informational meeting at the beginning of this semester.

Everyone is welcomed to participate this project, but only master students can get credits as practical course.

Judging

Winners will be selected by a panel of Göttingen staff scientists. The judges will grade entries using the following criteria:

  • Uniqueness, innovative
  • General utility and importance of output to society or scientific problems
  • Scalability and elegance of design (including selection of appropriate algorithms and data structures)
  • Clarity, efficiency and portability of implementation

The judges shall have the sole authority and discretion to select the award recipient(s).

Grand Prize

  • $500 in cash for the best project
  • Featuring on the Hawaii website
  • Featuring at various academic conference events
  • Featuring on Microsoft website and other public forums
  • 6 ECTS (for master students, if applicable)

Schedule

  • 15.04.2011 First general meeting
    • Introduction to the course, selection of topics, teams and open questions
  • 08.09.2011 Submission of slides/animation for final presentation
  • 15.09.2011 Final presentation

The following list of topics is constantly being expanded. If there is no topic that you like at the moment, please check back regularly for the most recent updates. You can also get in touch with us directly and we will try to find a topic that interests you.

Topic Topic advisor Initial readings Description Student
Mobile Shared Storage on Windows Phones Lei Jiao [1] Cloud services such as Relay and Rendezvous Services, released quite recently by Microsoft to support the efforts of the Hawaii project, enable one Windows Phone to access another via some replay point in the cloud. This makes possible P2P-like file sharing and storage among mobile phones. Imagining that you can store your photos and videos remotely on phones of your trusted friends when your own phone is short of storage, and imagining that you can make some files on your phone accessible to your friends by only marking these files as "shared", in this project, you are expected to develop such an application to enable Windows Phones of your own and your friends to form a network of shared storage by leveraging various necessary cloud services of Microsoft.
A Cloud-Enabled Mobile Content-Based Image Retrieval Application Jiachen Chen [2] [3] [4] [5] The team will develop a cloud-enabled Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) application for Windows Mobile platforms using the cloud as corpus rather than a local database. The application will have mobile interfaces which allow Windows Mobile users to access such service. Users can use their Windows Live ID to set up some preferences (such as preferred image size, search domain, etc) associated with the ID.
A Mobile Socially-Aware Tour Guide Application Jiachen Chen [6] [7] [8] [9] The team will develop an application which allows users to photograph/speak/input the name of a tour attraction and then invoke the cloud OCR/speak-to-text services and search engines to discover and share the information about this attraction. Users can write on the electronic-wall created for the attraction to share information. Users can also invite people who also visited the same attraction to be friends, get other people's comments or leave their own ones on this attraction, and recommend this attraction to other people.
