ACTR stands for Advanced Computer Technology and Research Hall. It is the home of CACS and Computer Science Department. Through this application, we want to provide an online information center of ACTR, including its facility, residents, and events ... We will also implement an unique "Tangible Social Network" concept that was invented in the class.
Here is how we see the application that we are creating:
The Virtual ACTR Network is an online information center about ACTR and social network tangible to its stakeholders.
For Students: It is a virtual living space. Students get answers to questions on coursework, exchange notes, share latest in technology, research together, learn about job and internship opportunities, meet their friends, professors and mentors.
For Faculty and Staff: It is a medium. They share, publish information about their research projects and interests, classes that they teach. They connect with students and other potential collaborators.
For Businesses: It is a market space. They can advertise, recruite future employees, and do market study.
For Administrations: It is another effective information source/communication channel
For Guests: They get a virtual tour. They can get live and “tangible” info about ACT.
For Alumni: They will find their own Carbon foot print which will remind them –“In those old good times …”
Many things are happening in CMPS 598 Co. We prepared and made pitch presentations to some of our advisers, made some mockup pages, and did a user survey yesterday and got interesting results. Some of these materials can be found at: http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~zwu/cmps598/intro.html
We are busy with writing a business plan, building use cases, setting up database schema, setting up the development environment and educating ourselves on new technologies.
A little bit more than 3 weeks is left for CMPS 598 class, i.e. 3 weeks left for our company's "product release". Time is so limited ...
