This mobile social application helps you broadcast this party event to anyone you want to invite. It also share information (i.e., pictures, music) within a group that owns same interest ... more
Build Your Own Large-Scale Distributed Applications Tianyin Xu [10] [11] [12] DHT (Distributed Hash Table) gives a graceful and powerful way to organize distributed systems and implement distributed applications. Storage, multicast, email, web caching, even microblogging services can all be implemented based on DHT. If you are interested in building your own distributed applications (whatever you want), ok, I will tell you how to achieve it. If you are interested in this topic, please first have an interesting application in mind.
Development and Data Collection using Facebook API Yang Chen [13] Facebook is a social networking website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc., with more than 500 million active users in July 2010. In this project, you should build your own facebook application using the facebook API. Although the detailed topic is quite open (we can brainstorm about that), but there are the following three basic milestones: (1)Build an application on facebook with a good looking interface, like a online game, quiz, etc. As interesting as possible. (2)Attract more than 40 people to use it. (3) Collected the data (such as user behavior, corrsponding social graph, etc), and do the analysis.
Mobility and Routing Niklas Neumann Details Implementation of a Routing and Forwarding Scheme for Coordinated Wide Area Mobility

During this project the team will implement an approach to forward data between access points to provide seamless mobility for wireless devices.

Android development Niklas Neumann [14] Building a prototype application to use Android phones for authentication

The team will develop an application for the Android platform that allows a mobile phone to be used as an authentication token.

Firefox development Niklas Neumann [15] Building a prototype plug-in to integrate Firefox into an external authentication system

The team will develop a plug-in for the Firefox web browser that enables the browser to be integrated as a client into an external authentication system.
