Overhaul (I. Gupta)
●
●
●
Field: Distributed Systems
Implemented as add-on to Apache. Clients fetch
web objects from each other in a peer-to-peer
manner.
Your group's involvement could be in one or many
of the following areas --developing a "real"
Overhaul system that "real" users can use, playing
around with Overhaul and tuning it, and even
mathematical analysis of Overhaul.
KORAT (D. Marinov)
●

●
●
Field: Software Engineering / Software Testing
Automatically generate sets of possible test inputs
for software unit testing. Construct based on a set
of constraints for the possible input.

We would develop open-source version in Java.
Possibly we would integrate into Eclipse (very
Open Croquet (R. Johnson)
●
●
●
●
●
Field: Software Engineering / Operating Systems
Website: http://www.opencroquet.org/
New operating system and user interface based on
what is possible today that wasn't when operating
systems were first developed
Emphasis on interaction between people in a
distributed network using a 3-D interface.
We would make a 3-D programming environment
Debugging tools in Photran
(Johnson)

+Photran
Photran is a java development environment meant
for Fortran.
We would develop debugging module to integrate
in the dev environment. Some things include how
to record information and then debugging displays
User Centered Adaptive
Information Retrieval (C. Zhai)
●
●
●
●
Field: Data Mining
Website: http://sifaka.cs.uiuc.edu/ir/ucair/
Exploit user information and search context to
better retrieve information for the user.
Possibly working with extending a personalized
search toolbar based on UCAIR research
Comparative Text Mining (C. Zhai)
●
●
●
●
Field: Data Mining
Website: http://sifaka.cs.uiuc.edu/ir/ctm/
Text mining. Uses data mining techniques to find
common themes between related pieces of textual
information or to find time-related relationships
between appearances of keywords
Work on additional applications and extensions to
the existing project
MetaQuerier (K. Chang)
●
●
●
●
Field: Data Mining / Web
Website: http://eagle.cs.uiuc.edu/metaquerier/
Discovery, modeling, and structuring of web
databases into a searchable repository. Example is
airlines, howto integrate all the different databases
hosted by Orbitz, American Airlines, etc.
We would contribute possibly by implementing
search querying algorithms, data cleaning
(algorithmic), and porting existing code to Linux /
Firefox. Another possibility would be to develop a
crawling robot that would search the query
interfaces for the various databases

Seaport (B. Bailey)

Field: HCI (Human-Computer Interaction)
Website: http://orchid.cs.uiuc.edu/projects/seaport
This is a graphical way to represent applications
on devices and be able to transfer control of those
applications from one device to another.
Our group would extend this project's functionality
to allow for more collaborative application
sharing... One proposed idea was application
shadowing

Field: Data Mining / Web
Website: http://door.cs.uiuc.edu/dblife2
A web search engine designed around a certain
community. Designed to give additional
functionality
We would provide new functionality to the engine,
possibly a notification model (provide real-time
updates of the index) or a “homepage finder.”
Other stuff discussed as possiblities
