Final Year Projects 2009 - 10
This is the list of projects that I will supervise for the acdemic year
2009-10.

It is wise to confirm your project and supervisor before the end of
Stage Two.
Web Server Functionality
Create a server
script/ program that can seek out websites/pages of a certain name/url
by a search and then post the list and a summary on a web page. Must
also check periodically that the site/page is still in existence.
Suitable for BEng and BSc Computer Networking students only.

ARP Attack
monitor
Create software to monitor
for
ARP attacks on a LAN. Suggest or devise means to remove this threat.
Suitable for BEng and BSc Computer Networking students only.

Automated
script to run diagnostics
Create an automated script that automatically runs diagnostics on
a users PC
to return a number to
represent the fault.
This
number can be given to an IT support member over the phone so they get
an idea
what the problem is.
Good
for networking issues - when connected systems can be operated remotely.
Ideas:
ping its loop back, ping its public IP, ping its gateway, check
DNS lookups, traceroute
out,
mtr
out and depending on results of these tests, return a specfic number.
Suitable for BEng and BSc Computer Networking students only.

Router Configuration Marking System
Marking students router configurartions is a time consuming task,
however it is a mechanical process. The configuration files are ASCII
text. Develop software to check and mark router configurations to save
lecturer marking time. The software ought to have the ability to allow
leeway whenever there are different router IOS versions or hardware and
should incorporate a database to hold marked configurations. The
deliverable will be a working system that can accept a set of router
configurations from a set of students and creates and stores in a
database a score that depends on the correspondence of the student's
submission with the model answer configuration.
Suitable for BEng and BSc Computer Networking and Computer
Systems and Software Engineering students only.

Speaker Phone
Write software to allow text messages to be read out over the
hands-free kit in a car.
Perhaps the project could expand to replies using speech to text.
Must be compatible with phone OS.
Suitable for BEng and BSc Computer Networking and Computer
Systems and Software Engineering students only.

Online Test
Design
Create and user-test
assessment
items in Moodle e.g. LAMS, Hot Potatoes etc.
Suitable for BEng and BSc Computer Networking
students only.
Status - Available
IPv6 Subnetting Design Tool
In the light of the
approaching IPv6 migration across the Internet, create a software tool
that will allow ease of IP version migration i.e. tunneling strategies,
address allocation, subnetting and address management for an
organisation.
Suitable for BEng and BSc
Computer Networking and Computer
Systems and Software Engineering students only.

WiFi Antenna Test and Design
Use the anechoic chamber to test existing laptop WiFi antennae, examine
their TX capabilities and suggest and test improved designs.
Suitable for BEng and BSc
Computer Networking students only.
