Brainstorm

Last week i have been busy with preparing and doing research on how to do a succesful brainstorm. Last friday i enlisted 4 students to help me with the brainstorm.
It was very succesful and alot of ideas where born for the jumping software technique.

Below a picture from the session in progress:



The brainstorm participants received the following handout: Handout

Now ill try and select some of the best ideas and go more in depth on those ideas.

Domotics

Last thursday ive been to the Evoluon in Eindhoven. Together with another student from another project we have visited the stands here from all kinds of businesses. I had hoped to get some inspiration for new ideas for the 'jumping software principle', however there was not a whole lot of actual new ideas.
Most ideas ranged from keeping indoor areas at a comfortable temperature to keeping it secure with all kinds of locks.

And then there was only 1

First of all sorry for a long time with no updates.
The previous week we have been busy preparing our presentation of 14 November. This presentation also was the last day Erwin was on the project. The powerpoint slides can be found here: Powerpoint.

This week i was ill myself and i have just returned today. This week im going to a meeting about domotics. Here i hope to get some inspiration to get new ideas for applications for the jumping software technology.

Furthermore it seems that on the programming front the project will be on halt for a while. Since Erwin our TI student has left the project. This means there will be only more research to find more possible applications for the jumping software technology.

Code

This week I've been optimizing my code and writing comment to be able to generate Javadoc. It's quite finished now and I've uploaded my code to our new FTP. You can find it here. In every directory(project folder) you can find a readme file in which I've stated out what that particular project does and you can also find a doc directory in which you can find the Javadoc.

Last week

Last week we have been very busy writing our researchreport thusfar. Erwin is leaving the project next week. Thus we have been appointed to write a report.

The report is finished and we will hand it in this afternoon.
You can read it here.

Next week we will start preparing Erwins final presentation. And after that i expect to welcome a new Technical Informatics student.
So stay tuned for updates!
