Address OK
AddressOK? was a project for Adult and Aging services that would create an address verification system. This piece of software was written in Java. The AVS took addresses out of a database and sent them one at a time to the United States Postal Service's website. The website then returned using XML if the address was valid or invalid. All the addresses returned Invalid are displayed in the programs User Interface. The user can then go though the list of invalid addresses, correct them, check to make sure the corrected address is valid and then update the database with the correct address.
Technologies Used:
ODBC and Java.

Alter Ego
masks.org is a non-profit single-subject research library serving the global community. We are dedicated to preserving our cultural heritages through archiving Mask Images. Masks.org works worldwide with museums, libraries, educational institutions, communities, and individual artists
The current website http://www.masks.org is maintained as well over 1000 static HTML pages. As is, the current web site is difficult to track, maintain, and publish new content to the web, causing a loss in credibility to the site. Given the goals of the website for future expansion, the current system will be too bulky to maintain for any amount of time. Specifically, the sponsor has asked for the development of an Mask Image database that will associate images with a generalized accessor cards and dynamically display web page.
The new vision for the site is to focus on two primary roles, researchers who will use search engines to look specifically for Mask Images and Purveyors who add said Mask Images to the database. The third actor in the system is the Administrator who must authorize that the data of the Purveyor and Mask Image are acceptable and appropriate for the web site.
Technologies Used:

Darkheart by Michael Ficker
In order to better understand the arterial structure of mammalian hearts Barlow Scientific Inc. has developed equipment to help automate the process of data collection from tissue samples. A custom software application can then take this data and reconstruct the 3D structure of the arterial networks. The application is written in the Interactive Data Language (IDL) and was developed by the people at IDL. The goals of project DarkHeart were to integrate specific analysis tools into the application and to give it database connectivity.

New Seasons
The New Seasons Market Online Deli Project developed a system for customers to order meals, for pickup, online from the New Seasons Market Deli in Portland, Oregon. Customers ordering online from the system could bypass having to wait for their items to be made at the store and bypass long ordering lines during the lunch rushes by using this System. Built into the system is an interface allowing the deli manager to dynamically change the menu contents without interfering with past orders. After an order is complete, the system will automatically print the orders at the deli for the deli employees to have ready when the customer comes to pick their food up.
Our Sponsor:
New Seasons Market Deli (Orenco Station location)
Technologies used:
The system was developed in PHP, mySQL, javaScript and HTML, running on an Apache server.

Runcible
Runcible is a web-accessible tool for applying comments to material written in electronic form. This tool was designed with the primary goal of assisting writing 101 instructors with the quick identification of common writing errors. With Runcible, an instructor has a way of expediting the correction process. This provides benefits to the learning process by quickly showing student what errors they've made along with context-sensitive help on the proper approach.
However, Runcible can be used to apply comments or corrections to any electronic text, such as; creative writing, computer code, or musical lyrics.

Sphinx
The Sphinx project is sponsored by BlinkIA; an Interactive Architecture company in Seattle.
Information Architecture is a rapidly growing field. We are creating a tool that will allow the user to quickly organize "Systems Structure" as a simple outline of text entries, display that outline as a tree diagram, with each text entry uniquely associated with a "WireFrame". The WireFrame component of the application will allow the user to create a paper prototype that represents a user interface or "screen-shot". This will allow usability studies to be conducted rapidly, enabling the user to quickly and efficiently update structure and content while maintaining version control.
Technologies Used:
Java, Java Swing, XML, Mac OS X

TESC MUD
TESCMUD is a self-sponsored group. We have been working on developing a MUD (Multi-User Domain) by editing the base CircleMUD 3.0 code. We have simplified many pieces of the code, replacing pages of case statements with a simple algorithm, and have converted the combat system to work with the Wizards of the CoastTM D20 SystemTM. We have also developed our own storyline and created our own world called Raging Elements, which you can link to via telnet and walk around in.
Technologies used:
C, CircleMUD 3.0, Red Hat Linux

WRM
Many organizations, such as small government agencies, could benefit greatly from running simulations before making policy decisions. While a considerable number of simulations are available in the public domain, often the computing power to run these simulations in a timely fashion is unavailable outside of academia and very large organizations. Our project has involved adopting a parallel computation environment, developed for UNIX machines and in the public domain, so that it would be suitable for small organizations that primarily have machines running a flavor of Windows.
The WRM Group has worked closely with our sponsor, Dave Thurman of Battelle, to find a way for small organizations to run compute-intensive programs efficiently. Our efforts have focused on preparing the Distributed Hydrology Soil and Vegetation Model(DHSVM) to run in parallel on a cluster of networked workstations; each workstation runs the Windows 2000 operating system. Our findings will be part of a feasibility study that will be presented to one of Battelle clients, The King County Department of Natural Resources.
