Description:
In the third year, students work on an individual project. As part of the project, each student has to make a progress presentation. The presentation is marked by the student's supervisor and a second marker. Last year, there were about 180 students giving project presentations over one week in November. Each of them had some time constraints (lectures,job interviews, family committments). The markers also had time constraints, and limits on the number of students they were supposed to mark. The module convenor (me) has to produce a schedule which is feasible given the constraints. The current system uses a Doodle poll to collect availability for staff and students, reformats it (using a collection of scripts) and feeds the result as an input to a Prolog constraint solver. I would like you to produce an integrated presentation scheduling system which collects availability via an authenticated web-based interface, is easily configurable by the module convenor, and outputs a schedule of presentations satisfying the constraints.

Description:
The goal of the project is to develop an interactive, multi-user, networked implementation of the popular board game “Settlers of Catan”. The development should be based on a client-server architecture where the server stores the state of the game, communicates with the clients and acts as a referee. The clients are graphical and provide a convenient interface to execute moves but also supports trading and communication between players. There are a number of interesting extensions of the basic functionality, e.g. the implementation of a lobby where partners for playing can be found, a scoring system, one may implement an alternative client running on a mobile device or one may implement AI players. I suggest to use JAVA as the implementation language but I am open to alternative suggestions.

Description:
Home gardening is becoming a very popular hobby for a lot of people, but it is not an easy one as it involves many logistics issues: Each plant requires a different calendar and treatment (transplanting, thinning, removing unnecessary branches, scafflodings, etc.), there are many tools and consumables involved (seeds, pots, soils, stakes) and keeping track of what is being planted and where. This project involves the development of an assistant program for the home gardener that can help manage all these issues plus other functionalities like connection to popular online gardening databases, managing collections of pictures from the user about the growth process of the different plants being handled and their fruits, etc.

Description:
Bioinformatics is a very fascinating research area where many disciplines of science such as mathematics, computer science, engineering, etc. are put together to solve biological problems and bring new insight into our understanding of how life works. Within the bioinformatics context one of the most challeging problems is the prediction of the structure of proteins (PSP). PSP is an extremely challenging field for many reasons. Our knowledge of how proteins fold to obtain their native structure is limited, and the datasets from where we are able to extract knowledge are so massive that the whole process of PSP in many occasions becomes a black box, and the improvements in prediction method are done in a blind trial and error way. PSP is a complex field with many subproblems, one of those is Contact Map (CM) prediction. At the University of Nottingham we have developed a CM prediction method that has been consistently ranked as one of the top methods in the world for the last four years. Our method is based on rule-based learning, so it is possible to extract explanations from rule sets, but due to the gigantic size of the problem this process is still extemely difficult. This project will develop a tool involving data mining and computer visualisation to generate explanations out of the predictions of our CM methods that can allow us to understand how it works and refine it to make it more robust and accurate in the future. The supervisor, an expert in the field, will help delimiting the exact scope of the project and further clarify the exact requirements.

Last year a very successful group project was to develop a crowdbase for finding cycling routes local to the University's campuses. (A crowdbase is a database that is maintained for and by a community — a “crowd” of people.) This project is to extend the crowdbase and route-finding functionalities further in order to integrate different modes of transport: walking, cycling or taking the bus.

Description:
eBooks have exploded in popularity during the past couple of years and it now seems certain that digital will become the dominant medium for books. Unfortunately, the current practices used by book publishers are not setup for this dual medium output — eBooks are generally produced as an afterthought from the final print version, which can often still only exist as a printed copy. However, it is likely that as eBooks become more dominant that publishers will switch from primarily producing printed pages to primarily producing eBooks.
However, just as with vinyl records there is likely to still be a demand for paper-based books. In this project, you will produce software that allows a printed book to be produced from an ePub (a popular, and open, eBook format) eBook.
The software should allow a publisher to do three things: firstly, define a series of templates for layout of their books (these templates need not be tied to a specific ePub — e.g. a publisher may wish to use the same template to layout a series of books). Secondly, it should be able to convert the ePub into a printable form (e.g. PDF) using those templates, taking into account standard typographic rules. Thirdly, it should allow for tweaks to be made to the printable form to correct any artefacts of the conversion process or typographic problems.
Since this project is aimed at solving a future problem, in a post-PC, and post-Web world — it is envisaged that the system will be designed to run as an app on tablets, backed by services provided in the cloud, rather than a standard desktop PC application. This would allow small publishers to use this product without having to implement it locally.

Description:
The project will produce software to aid students in learning a foreign language. It will maintain a special dictionary for every student, tracking their weaknesses and then providing them with personalised drilling exercises and tests.
Several components may be developed:
After implementing this basic system, you can extend it with more interactive elements and intuitive or playful content. For example, you can add some graphics/cartoon elements to improve the effectiveness of learning.
Finally, you can add a collaborative component. Several students can collaborate on-line to extend and improve the dictionary or interact during the learning process.

Description:
The aim of this project is to design, prototype and evaluate a “personal learning dashboard” for Moodle. Moodle (http://moodle.org) is a Virtual Learning Environment which the University if adopting to replace WebCT. A personal learning dashboard is an integrated display of a student’s learning-related activities (past, present and future), which can help them to monitor and manage their on-going learning. Learning-related activities might include: lectures and labs, exercises, assignments and coursework, reading, revision, conversations and discussions (online and offline), reflection and feedback, and so on. The project team will need to establish requirements, develop one or more prototypes and evaluate these. The project team may develop a single concept or several alternatives. If successful, the prototype may be taken forward for development and deployment across the University.

Description:
As a school, something we are trying to improve is the quality of feedback given to students. For large modules with lots of coursework the delivery of high quality, personalised and timely feedback can a demanding task. This is especially true for report or essay based coursework, where often as the module convenor you are faced with the task of writing over a hundred reports within 28 working days. To speed up and to streamline the process, the group’s task is to develop, construct and test a system which can assist with the marking process.
The students will be encoruaged to gather requirements from memebers of staff and their fellow students to find out exactly what makes the best feedback and how we can develop and deploy such a system. There are also many related systems to draw inspiration from, such as (parts of) Moodle (http://moodle.org) which we will explore as part of the research aspect of the project. The project can be extended from simply producing reports from a predefined mark scheme, to using a graph theory based logic structure to produce the reports, ordering the sentences in the most logical way, or using some sort of intelligent system to add suitable adjectives to make the report read in a more coherent way. Alternatively the use of multimedia and web 2.0 technologies to deliver feedback can also be incorporated. These are just some suggestions of the scope of the automarker, to be determined as part of the project — helping to deliver high quality feedback, on time.

Description:
This project involves the production of an automatic system for helping in the marking of coursework (Marking here refers to a summative mark and also formative assessment). Many types of coursework are amenable to an on-line, GUI based system that would allow markers to mark the work more easily and quickly. The idea is that several hundred (say) different copies of the same coursework will have repeated mistakes in them and it would be nice to exploit this commonality.
The exact system specification is flexible and existing systems should be investigated for more specific ideas as to functionality. However, the following ideas should be considered:
The “boss” system from the University of Warwick for marking programs is a good example of this type of system, but only applies to program marking.

Description:
This project aims at developing a system that allows exploration of musical genres via a 3-dimensional graphical user-interface. “Tag” data that is made available via the social music service last.fm will be used as basis for the visualisation. Tags are descriptive names that users of the music service have associated with artists, albums, and tracks.
The first part of the project involves building a tag similarity graph where the nodes represent tags, and the edges represent similarity-relationships between tags. In addition to choosing appropriate data structures and algorithms for handling the graph, it will be necessary to take into account limitations on resource usage imposed by the last.fm API.
The second part of the project aims at making an interactive 3D visualisation of a selected fraction of the similarity graph. The user should be able to traverse the graph by selecting nodes and edges with the mouse pointer. It will be necessary to apply methods from graph drawing to make an aesthetically pleasing as well as responsive visualisation.
The final part of the project is to implement a streaming music player which is synchronised with the similarity graph visualisation.

Description:
Modern mobile devices allow the recording of all manner of movement data. An application that captured and processed this data could enable folk to reflect on their movements throughout the day, and suggest alternatives (e.g. you could have walked your kids to school and it would have been quicker than driving). The data when anonymised and shared would also allow reflection of personal behaviour against “the crowd”.
This project would could involve mobile device programming or use an off the shelf application (like Evertrail) and more on the processing of the data and the web service.

OpenID is a standard protocol whereby you prove your claim on an identity to a third-party. Most such uses at the moment involve having an account on a separate system (e.g. Google, Hotmail, facebook) and proving access by entering username/password credentials when redirected to a webpage. This project involves implementing an OpenID server that uses a range of personal information (pictures, sounds, life events) and multifactor login (e.g. http://www.duosecurity.com/) to provide a personal OpenID server and strongly protect its use.

Description:
This project is inspired by Arthur Smith's famous instrumental composition “Duelling Banjos”. The aim is to develop a musical computer game for two players, the duellists, each equipped with a (MIDI) keyboard connected to the computer. The basic idea is that computer picks a “challenge”, a short musical phrase, that the duellists then have to repeat as best as they can, one at a time, by playing their respective keyboard. Whoever repeats the phrase most accurately, wins the round and gets to go first in the next round. However, the loser is considered the challenged party and gets to pick the type of challenge (the “weapon”) for the next round from an on-screen menu, preferably by pressing a key on his or her keyboard to make for quick, smooth, game play. As the game progresses, the tempo gradually increases, just as in Smith's composition. The first duellist to win a predetermined number of rounds wins the duel, but one has to win by at least a margin of two rounds.
The challenge should be presented both aurally and visually, by showing the key sequence to be played on an on-screen representation of a keyboard. There should be a metronome click to help the players keep the right tempo. Types of challenges could include excerpts from famous songs, a randomly generated sequence of notes (perhaps taking harmonic theory into account to make it musically pleasing), sequences of block chord (for example, based on famous songs, random variations on standard chord progressions). They could be further sub-classified according to genre, difficulty level, length. Concretely, the menu of challenge types might include “weapons” such as “Easy Classical Phrase”, “Easy Chords” “Challenging Contemporary”, “Jazz Chords”. The menu of challenges need not be the same all the time. E.g. it could be a random subset of the possible types of challenges, frequently chosen challenge types might be excluded for variety, or it might be adapted to how well the duellists are playing so as to make the game fun regardless of how good keyboard players the duellists are. For practice and testing purposes, there should be a single-player mode. There should also be a theme song to be played in between rounds. Maybe Duelling Banjos?
For an alternative direction, consider developing a version of the above game for touch-screen smart phones or tablets (likely Android). The screen of the phone of each duellist would be turned into a virtual keyboard, and the phones would be communicating over bluetooth to make it easy to play anywhere (no network connection or central server needed). (Thanks to Thorstan Altenkirch for suggesting a mobile-phone version of the game.)

Description:
This project involves in creating a natural and easy to use intelligent user interface by combining techniques from computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics and human-computer interfaces. Interactive multimedia such as computer simulations and animations received increased attention over the years as supplementary teaching tools and have now become integral components of most engineering and science curriculums. One way to boost the utility of such simulations and animations is to make them easier to use. In this project, a pen-based intelligent interface will be implemented and combined with a speech recognition system (Windows SAPI). The goal is to recognize spoken commands and interpret free-hand drawings for constructing weighted and unweighted graphs which functions as a front-end to a shortest path and minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithm simulators. The usability of the different types of interfaces (such as, a WIMP based interface and hybrids) will be evaluated.

Description:
Planning which higher education modules or courses to take can be difficult due to the problems of getting the required information and the challenge of seeing how they fit together. This is particularly compounded when taking modules from other Universities. Every University seems to have its own system for representing information. Standard search engines can help to some extent, but are limited to simple text search with no inbuilt understanding of concepts such as “module”, “prerequisite” “level 2”, etc. On considering a Study abroad, it can be quite a time consuming task to find which Unvirsities offer suitable courses. This is compounded because not all courses are offered every year. The semantic web, as standardised by the W3C consortium, is designed to help to tackle such issues. It uses concepts such as ontologies and OWL to codify the needed vocabulary. Data is represented in a distributed form as RDF triples with access via SPARQL. The project will aim to use such tools and standards to design a semantic web system that could potentially be used to browse modules in a unified fashion across multiple Universities. For example, “find all Universities in the UK with a computer science department offering an undergraduate module that teaches OWL”. The system should also be to give a picture of the flow of modules within a programme. For Nottingham it would be able to give a pictorial representation of the contents of the module catalogue.

Description:
Radiotherapy is a type of cancer treatment, in which tumour cells are destroyed by subjecting them to ionizing radiation. However, excessive radiation adversely affects all cells, including healthy tissue and critical organs. Therefore the aim of radiotherapy treatment planning is to deliver a tumouricidal dose over the tumour region while minimizing the radiation received by healthy tissue and organs at risk (OAR) in the vicinity of the tumour.
The aim of this project is to design a dose distribution calculation software that calculates the radiation dose received either by each voxel or by a volume (e.g. tumour or organ at risk). Using the DICOM RP files, the software should be able to extract the treatment plan information from these files, display the tumour and organs at risk structures and possibly the beams, calculate the resulting dose distribution and display the information, ideally in graphical form. Further information here.

Description:
Image segmentation is one of the most widely used image processing/analysis processes. Its goal is to divide an input image into distinct regions, each of which corresponds to some meaningful object. Many algorithms and approaches have been proposed, making it difficult for non-specialists to select and make best use of the most appropriate one. The aim of this project is to create an interactive tool which will allow users to load a sample image, mark the desired region(s) on it by hand to provide a gold standard, then experiment with a small number of different segmentation algorithms and their parameters. After application of each algorithm, the tool should compare the results obtained with the gold standard and provide the user with both a clear visualisation of the two segmentations and numerical measures of their similarity. The intention is that the tool will help a novice user select and parametrise a segmentation method which can then be applied to other, similar images.

Description:
Goal: Based on the classic 1972 BASIC game “Hunt the Wumpus” this project will create a virtual “board” made up of all the PCs in the undergraduate lab. Residing somewhere on that board is the eponymous wumpus. Players will run a program on a machine and receive clues as to the location of the wumpus. Ultimately they must capture it by firing an "arrow" at it from an adjacent machine. The details of the game are somewhat malleable as the original game used sequential movement rather than random access, however the principle should remain intact. Note that running this system will not require the installation of software on every machine in the lab. A suitable simulation mode will be required for testing and demo purposes.
