Client
Project Description
The basic issues of health and
drinkable water are a daily challenge for many people living in
remote and under-developed areas. For its centennary, Rotary has
developed a potable water initiative that aims to provide practical
solutions to common water problems. The Rotary Water Past Projects has been
designed to make this information as accessible as possible to the
widest possible audience.
The Rotary Water Past Projects system we
have created allows users to easily find articles on relevant water
topics. In order to cater to different levels of knowledge, an
advanced search function as well as a basic incremental searching
mechanism for browsing articles have been implemented. The public
Rotary Water Past Projects is supported by an admin only content management
section which allows non-technical Rotary staff to maintain all
aspects of the system through a simple and easy to use interface.

Group 4: Virtual Surgical Museum (VSM)

Client
Faculty of Medicine, Monash University
Project Description
An ever increasing problem is providing interactive feedback to
medical students with regards to a diagnosis activity. In the past,
medical students were exposed to many surgical problems on elective
surgical inpatients. With bed efficiencies such as day of surgery
admissions, pre-admitted patients and day care surgery, the number of
elective patients seen by medical students preoperatively has reduced
to almost zero. In order to compensate this trend, MediSoft have
begun developing an online interactive learning tool called the
Virtual Surgical Museum (VSM). The tool is aimed at allowing students
to develop problem solving strategies through application of
differential diagnostic principles and management plan

Group 6: Information Sharing System

Client
South Port Engineering
Project Description
Inter-corporation communication traditionally involves mountains of paperwork and can take considerable
time to relay documents back and forth. Although email can often overcome these problems,
it does not provide enough flexibility for specialised areas which require multiple details to be
passed back and forth.
This project will focus on providing secure, sound, information sharing
systems for the client (Southport Engineering). The systems developed will be fully tailored to meet
the clients needs and will be developed to run on Microsoft IIS servers using state of the art technologies
such as C#.Net, Active Server Pages and Microsoft SQL 2000.
The products developed will be designed to reduce the every day paper work of inter-corporation communication without impeding efficiency.

Client
Mr Jack Verdius, IBM
Project Description
The aim of this project is to develop, for marketing purposes, a set of applications as a demonstration of the abilities of IBM's WebSphere
development platform. To do this serveral applications will be developed in incremental stages to simu;ate the steps a company may take
as it grows and makes greater use of Web Services technology.
Moving throuugh the stages the development team will show the same company and underlying application expaneded upon to eventually
enable the company for dynamic e-commerce. The first stage will be a stand-alone application for ordering and shipping party good manufactured
by the sample company. Next the application will be linked to a web interface to staff remotely through a web browser. Next the application
will be linked to a web interface to allow customers to create, view, and modify their own orders. Finally a UDDI registry will be used for the
application to dynamically discover and use a service so that the manufacturing company now outsources the shipping of orders. The functionality
at all stages will be restricted, limited to only those functions deemed to be necessary or valuable for demonstration purposes.
