UIC BSIT Research Topics for 2011

School Year 2010-2011 is fast approaching. In the first semester, the 4th year students will be having their thesis proposal, and from what I have observed, students find it hard to look for topics for their research. The following categories might help:
BSIT Major in Networking:
  1. Communications (Email, Chat, P2P File Sharing, Protocols, etc.)
  2. Networking and Network Security (Firewall, Routing, Monitoring, Access List, Virtual Private Network, VLAN, etc.)
  3. VOIP [Voice Over Internet Protocol] (Voice Quality, Transmission enhancement, Compression, etc.)
  4. Virtualization
BSIT Major in Multimedia:
  1. Animation (2D,3D, etc.)
  2. Game Programming (Role-playing games, Simulators, etc.)
  3. Audio and Video Manipulation (Digital Image Processing, Audio Editing, Video Editing)
BSIT Major in Software Engineering:
  1. Databases (Migration, Encryption, Load Balancing)
  2. Software Development and Integration (Interpreters, Compilers, Software Interoperability)
  3. Systems Security/Cryptography (Anti-Virus, Firewall, Anti-Spam, Counter-hacking, etc.)
  4. Open Source Technologies
Each of these categories can be further expanded and examined for more specific research topic. Whatever your chosen topic is, the research should have the objective of improving the quality of life through information and communication technologies.

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns:  ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...

Number to Text in Excel

I was asked today by one of my classmates about converting numeric values to literal values in excel. I thought there was a function for this but I found none. Well I was curious so I looked it up on the web . I've done a little modification here to make it more or less generic (specially when writing in checks). Here's how it's done: Click Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor Insert a module Paste the following code: Option Explicit '**************** ' Main Function * '**************** Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Temp, WholeNumberText, DecimalText Dim DecimalPlace, Count ReDim Place(9) As String Place(2) = " Thousand " Place(3) = " Million " Place(4) = " Billion " Place(5) = " Trillion " ' String representation of amount. MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber)) ' Position of decimal pl...

Using Firebird with ASP.net

In my previous post , I was able to connect a firebird 2.0 database to asp.net using controls. The next goal was to connect to a firebird database using the firebird.net engine and using the repeater control. I however, was able to use the firebird.net engine to connect to the firebird database but not to the repeater control. I used the html table tag. I've created a simple asp.net demo displaying the contents of a firebird database on page load. Here are the steps: 1. Things Needed: Firebird 2.0 Server Firebird 2.0 Client Visual Web Developer 2. In Visual Web Developer, create a new ASP.net Website (using C# as the programming language). The project will have a default page named Default.aspx. Make sure that the code is separate from the page (ex. Default.aspx.cs is separate from Default.aspx) 3. On the Website menu, click on Add Reference. 4. Select the Firebird - ADO.net 2.0 Data Provider and click Ok. 5. Add using FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient; to the "using" sec...
