Our project consists in assisting Network Ministries, a non-profit
organization that works with the community in providing useful
services for the Tenderloin district in San Francisco. Network
Ministries offers various services, such a providing a comminuty
church, a safe house, memorial services for the poor and homeless,
and a computer center. Their Computer Training Center is used by both
young and old alike, teaching introductory computer skills to the
community.

The focus of this project is to provide students and
professors with a tool to enrich the classroom
learning experience as well as letting students
visually explore different algorithms at home. For
the students' convenience, the program will include a
compilation of the essential data structure algorithms
taught in most Data Structures courses. We will
develop a new user interface that will be
user-friendly and intuitive.

By simulating agent-consumer relations in a computer environment we
can explore all scenarios without taking the risks associated by
introducing new products/bundles into a potentially hostile
marketplace. We can simulate various business models against a variety
of consumer landscapes in the same manner as engineers who will test
prototypes in a computer environment before investing millions in a
final version.
This project will port an existing agent simulator, written by
Professor Chris Brooks of the University of San Francisco, into a
parallel solution. As each agent can be computed independently,
simulation is ideally suited to a parallel solution. Using MPI we will
change the original C++/LISP code into a MPI-C version that will be
able to run on the University of San Francisco's 64-node super
computer, the Keck Cluster. Once this is accomplished we will be able
to use the Keck Cluster to run research simulations.

SmartNav is a project that is designed to rethink the process of web
interface design. SmartNav is intended to track an individual's
movement through a website and alter the form of the site's navigation
system accordingly. In theory, the site will be in a constant state of
evolution for each individual user. If a system for understanding the
browsing habits of an individual is achieved, the guesswork and the
idea of include-all-options that is used for navigation design for the
web could be avoided.

The purpose of the project is to create a tool that allows users to
build documentary movies and music videos using the Internet Archive?s
huge video collection and source movies uploaded by studio users as
raw material. The studio will be a web application accessible from
anywhere. Creators will piece together archived movie and sound clips
into Internet Movies, small, easily transmitted movies made up
entirely of URLs and timing information. Collaborative tools will be
provided so that creators can easily share work and find other
creators working in similar area. The tool will be made available on
the Internet Archive website and could very well reach thousands of
users. Creating documentaries and music videos are the main potential
applications of this project.
