Boontawee Suntisrivaraporn
BS1 - Tom-and-Jerry Catching Game Platform
In this game, there is a world which can be viewed as a graph, i.e. vertices for corners and junctions etc., and three objects of interest, namely Tom-the-cat, Jerry-the-mouse, and cheese. Beautiful graphics for the world and these three objects can be added if time allows. The game platform has to be designed with OOP concepts, particularly polymorphism and encapsulation. After all, Tom cannot always see Jerry, but Jerry stinks and Tom can sense that when being near. Similarly, Jerry can smell his favorite food, the cheese. Various search algorithms and optimizations can be tested on the platform.

CN4 - Workload Tracking
Casual and part-time employees (e.g. adjunct faculty members, teaching assistants, lab instructors) need to record their workload on a regular basis (e.g. every week a TA records number of hours in lab and number of assignments marked). Workload information is then reviewed by secretaries and executive. This system will automate the recording of workload information and support the review workflow.
Ekawit Nantajeewarawat
EN1 - Campus Resource Reserver
A university has many resources that are shared amongst students, staff and outsiders. For example: shared study rooms in library, dormitories, transportation, computer facilities. This system will create a general reservation system that should work for many different resources. It may include implementing algorithms to automatically allocate time slots taking into account users preferences (e.g. in case of conflicts).
EN2 - Construction of a Design Pattern Knowledge Base
A design pattern provides a tested and proven solution to a problem that commonly occurs in software design. This study is concerned with development of a knowledge-based framework for representing design patterns. The structural schema of a design pattern is represented using the Ontology Web Language (OWL) and the general reusable design solution suggested by the pattern is represented as rules in the Java Expert System Shell. Through rule instantiation, a general suggested solution is applied in an application-specific context for use case realization. Application of the framework to the generation of object interaction designs, represented as sequence diagrams in the Unified Modeling Language, from requirements specified in the form of operation contracts will be demonstrated.
Topics concerning with this study are shown as follows:
- Development of a front-end application invoking a set of developed back-end modules.
- Development of a back-end module, e.g., an application for transforming an UML class diagram represented in XMI to OWL, or implementation of rules for generating a sequence diagram.
Qualifications: Basic knowledge on UML sequence diagrams and Java programming
EN3 - Design Pattern Recommendation
Design patterns for software development provide general reusable solutions to commonly occurring problems. They are useful for developing flexible, reusable and modular software with object-oriented programming. Selecting an appropriate design pattern is however a difficult task, especially for novice designers. In order to apply a pattern to a given problem context, a designer necessarily understand not only a problem domain but also the usage and structure of the pattern. One possible approach for facilitating design pattern selection is to construct a pattern usage hierarchy, based on which a problem-driven framework for recommending design patterns is developed. The characteristics of tasks to be performed in a given problem and examples of pattern usage are used for retrieving user intention and for matching the problem with an appropriate pattern. A topic concerning with this study is to develop a recommendation system from a predetermined design pattern recommendation approach. Qualifications: Basic knowledge on Java programming
Gun Srijuntongsiri
GS1 - Thai stock data scraping
While there are many data on Thai stocks available for free on the Internet, they are unstructured and difficult to be used for subsequent analysis. The goal of this project is to build a piece of software for automatically retrieving different types of such data and processing and organizing them into a ready-to-use format. The important process is to extract certain corporate actions (e.g., dividend payment and stock split) from the company news pages and use them to adjust the historical stock prices that you retrieve from another page. You may add other functionalities to the software such as the ability to extract specific types of company news in which the user is interested, to store the past data of stocks that used to exist but are now unlisted, or even the ability to display your adjusted stock prices in an interactive chart.
GS2 - Scientific Computing Demonstration Web Site
Build a web site that interactively demonstrate how different algorithms in scientific computing works such as algorithms for optimization, solving linear and nonlinear equations, and linear least squares. Users should be able to enter the input data that affect the demonstration, too.
GS3 - Properties of Bezier Clipping
Bezier clipping is a relatively simple but famous algorithm for finding roots of a polynomial as well as finding intersections between two curves. For this project, we will focus on Bezier clipping for polynomials in one variable and study the properties of this algorithm either analytically or experimentally (this choice is up to you although experimental study should be much easier). This topic is challenging.
GS4 - Student Admission Status

Komwut Wipusitwarakun
KW1 - Student Forms User Interface
Bachelor students submit forms during their studies for many different tasks: register without pre-requisite, return of damage deposit, medical leave/exam postponement, exam conflict, etc. These forms are usually passed via secretaries to advisors and then executives (e.g. head of school, director). Rather than using paper forms, this system will allow online processing. This part of the Student Forms system will focus on the user-interface and workflow (e.g. the form is automatically sent to the next person when complete)
KW2 - Student Forms Integration
Bachelor students submit forms during their studies for many different tasks: register without pre-requisite, return of damage deposit, medical leave/exam postponement, exam conflict, etc. These forms are usually passed via secretaries to advisors and then executives (e.g. head of school, director). Rather than using paper forms, this system will allow online processing. This part of the Student Forms system will focus on the backend and integration with other systems.

NH1 - School Equipment Auditing System
Schools and departments purchase academic and research equipment through different budgets (e.g. school, research project, graduate student). There are different accounting and procurement rules that require the equipment to accounted for on a regular basis (e.g. yearly equipment audits). With equipment being used by many people it is difficult to keep track of where it is when someone else needs it or the auditor needs to see it. This project involves designing and implementing a system that allows easy tracking of equipment. This may include tags (RFID, QR, barcode) on equipment, scanners and an application for recording equipment information. Preferred background: Ruby on Rails
NH2 - Aggregating web services: an multi-agency service component approach

SG1 - Private Cloud Storage
Cloud file storage, like Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3 and iCloud, is very convenient for users as it allows access to files from any device at any time, simplifies sharing files with others, and can act as an off-site backup. The main drawback is security, in particular the storage provider (Google, Amazon, Apple) can potentially access your data and observe your behaviour based on the files you access. The first drawback can be solved with client-side encryption: before uploading a file, it is encrypted on your device so the storage provider cannot read the file. However encryption doesn't solve the second drawback: even without reading the data the storage provider can learn valuable information based on which files you access (upload/download), when and how frequently. Providing privacy with cloud storage is very important for businesses and government, e.g. a hospital storing medical records. A solution for private cloud storage is Oblivious RAM (ORAM). Researchers have designed ORAM algorithms that make it practically impossible for the storage provider to know which files you are accessing. The problem with ORAM is that it performs poorly. This project involves implementing an ORAM front-end for existing cloud file storage (such as Dropbox or Amazon). It will focus on making an easy-to-use interface and optimizing the performance.
SG2 - Postgraduate Requirements Tracker
Graduate students must meet numerous conditions and deadlines while studying their Masters or PhD. These include: satisfying sufficient credits each semester, completing qualifying exam an proposal, publishing a minimum number of papers, having thesis approved by multiple sources (including plagiarism checks) and purchasing items within budget. This system will provide students, advisors and staff with instant and up-to-date access to the conditions and deadlines for grad students to ensure successful graduation.
SG3 - Multi-Interface Networking
Although many devices have multiple network interfaces (Ethernet, WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth), they normally only use one at a time, e.g. you are either downloading via WiFi or via 3G. Recent technologies, such as Multipath TCP, make it easier to use two or more interfaces at the same time. For example, downloading portions of a file via Wifi and other parts via 3G, increasing overall performance. Or using one interface as a backup such that an application can automatically switch to the other without disrupting data transfer. Multipath TCP is implemented in Linux, Android and iOS7, among others. This project will develop applications that use such multi-interface features and perform experiments to optimize the performance.
