CIS 772 Information Systems Project Hakan Ferhatosmanoglu Course outline • Winters, MWF (2002, 2003, 2004) • Projects – I propose 3, and encourage them to find their own. – 6 groups (each 4-6 people): 3 chose mine, 3 chose theirs • 2004: 3+3=6 projects – Genome-DB (6), Image-search (5), Medical (5), – Video (6), Bookstore (4), Firefighters (4) • Forming groups & projects – Project choice, groups, background survey – http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~hakan/CIS772/hw1.html Course Outline • First 3-4 week: I talk about technical details of the projects. • Last 5-6 weeks: Interaction. – Group presentations & discussions, class feedback, lectures • Project Proposal • Weekly progress reports – Written/verbal feedback given each week • Group Presentations • Mid-term and Final Demo • Final Report – Individual and Group Reports Capstone Criteria 1 & 2 & 3 • Criteria 1 & 2 – 772: Must be at the senior level – Four pre-requisites 560; 601; 516 or 757; 670 • Criteria 3: Design component – – – – – Design is a main component Database design Design of data model, index, back-end server, user-interface Programming design Tasks, assignments, timelines Criteria 4: Course Content • Realistic constraints • • • • Some projects with outside partners All: Goal is final use by others User-friendly design Large-scale systems in modest machines – 120K images, Human/mouse genome, Mining over >100K movies • Fast – not just accurate – queries • Standards • XML, etc. • Image files, image processing, biomedical data • Maintainability • Emphasis during lectures (easy to extend, maintain) • Challenge: When quarter is over, the project is over! • Ethical, social issues • Implicit (outside partners, final product)-- 601 • Use of data, permissions (AMA doctor list, etc.) Criteria 5: Documentation • Project Proposal • Weekly group reports – Meeting minutes, Plans, goals, accomplishments, challenges, technical details • Individual Report • Final Report • Web-site – Demo • Engine with user-interface, help – All reports, minutes Criteria 6: Oral Presentation • Each student makes at least one significant oral presentation (10 minutes or longer) <mostly 2-3> • Presentations: – Progress & Plans – Individual Accomplishments – Technical tutorials related to the Project • Feedback from the instructor and the class – Students are encouraged to give feedback to the presenters – Works well: Both technical and presentation related comments/critics – (Almost) full attendance to the class • Peer evaluation – Both verbal and written – Other groups, group members Criteria 7: Teamwork • All about teamwork • Self-organized groups – If not, I assign based on background/interest survey • 1 Meeting/ week: Mandatory (more in practice) • Projects are inter-disciplinary in nature – Students with molecular biology, genetics background Criteria 8: Course-size • Cap: 30 – 30+2 students (maximum that could be handled) – 27 were on waiting list (17+10) – many of them were grads • Waited for the second week, and added 2 undergrads • Cap was 25 before: – 2003: 25+6 – 2002: 25 • 6 groups, 4-6 students per group
