Spring 2008 Projects
 

Team 53:  Code Turmoil Collection Tool Phase 2
 

Nate Ekland   Ray Seegmiller   Robbie Krisher   Curt Stein	Bruce Mayes

Team 53 Developers:  Nate Eklund, Robbie Krisher, Ray Seegmiller, and Curt Stein

Weekly Team Meeting:    Tuesday, 10:00 AM Pacific Time, JEB 324

Description:  During the Fall 2007 term, Team 49 implemented a new code turmoil data collection system that extracted change data from a CollabNet's Subversion version control system (http://www.collab.net/products/subversion/).  Although the tool that the team developed collected turmoil data, its runtime performance was significantly below that seen with a previous tool that extracted turmoil data from a ClearCase version control system.  One of the goals of this project is to understand the performance characteristics of the new system, then design and implement changes that will improve runtime performance.  Another goal of the project is to incorporate additional features, such as the ability to generate turmoil data between two specified versions of a product.

Team 54: RADICL Lab Extensions
 

Brian Seel   Johann MacDonagh   Riley Naiumi   Serge Aizen   Ray Anderson	Paul Oman

Team 54 Developers: Serge Aizen, Ray Anderson, Johann MacDonagh, Riley Naiumi, and Brian Seel

Weekly Team Meeting:  Wednesday, 11:30 AM Pacific Time, JEB 324

Description:  Several years ago faculty and students in the Computer Science Department designed and implemented a Reconfigurable Attack Defend Instructional Computer Lab (RADICL) to provide an environment in which to perform security-related education and research in an air-gapped environment that would not constitute a potential threat to other departmental or networked systems.  This project will extend the lab capabilities by providing the following capabilities:

• Store in a central server, the operating system, configuration, and software of each machine, as well as the network topology required to run an experiment and make it available on demand for activation using the lab's resources.
• Support multiple isolated simultaneous experiments.
• Implement a virtual air-gap environment that will allow outreach students to access the lab.
• Support connection to existing RADICL equipment.
• Support at least three distinct operating systems.
• Allow the lab to be reconfigured in 10 minutes or less.
• Prevent students from gaining physical access to lab equipment.

Team 55:  GUI Front-end for Multiple Databases Phase 2
 

Evan Hart    Qaiser Sadiq    Anthony Kinsey    Ben Husted	Kyle King       Ryan Blue

Team 55 Developers: Evan Hart, Ben Husted, Anthony Kinsey, and Qaiser Sadiq

Weekly Team Meeting:  Friday, 12 noon, Pacific Time, JEB 324

Description:  The purpose of this project is to extend the project developed by Team 51 during the Fall 2007 term.  That team built a graphical user interface that accesses a database or flat-file and present the information in a user configurable display.  The layout and data sources of the interface are defined by an XML file that is loaded by the application.  Editing the XML files allows the user to change the data presented and the display dependencies.  For the Phase 2 project there are several additional goals including:

• Achieve an abstracted data back-end that allows the application to work concurrently with multiple sources of data.
• Support query across to multiple simultaneous data sources thus achieving cross database operability.
• Support value comparisons across different representations of a data type.
• Provide response to queries in near real-time.
• Provide additional data type display capabilities.
