WELCOMEfrom Dr. Pramod Pathak

The annual School of Computing Project Showcase at National College of Ireland is a highlight of our year that recognises and celebrates the work of our final year computing students and marks the transition from their undergraduate degrees to their professional careers. This year we are delighted to announce European CTO Workday, Annrai O’Toole as our keynote speaker. As you will see, the student’s projects have been developed using various prevailing technologies and tools, specialising in different domains. We believe that a number of projects present not only commercial potential, but also the best calling card for our students. NCI has often encouraged commercially focused endeavours with the help of venture capitalists, industrial partners, and Enterprise Ireland. Such partnerships continue to provide invaluable, real-world learning experiences and enrich our curricula. To the students, congratulations and well done! It is a tough journey that you commenced four years ago, but you have shown commitment and persistence. With your success, you now have the opportunity to choose a number of paths – a career in the ICT industry, create your own product/company or continue with a postgraduate qualification. Whatever avenue you choose to take, one thing that will be common: you will always remember these years and the friendships you have made.

We are delighted to invite guests from industry to come and meet our students on the 29th May, to view and discuss the various projects on display and to take the opportunity to scout out the talent that exists within the student body in NCI.The staff and students look forward to meeting you and sharing these projects with you.

We look forward to welcoming you to National College of Ireland.

Toscaire is a global employee monitoring product with a difference. Toscaire shows the employee what they are doing and how they are being perceived within an organization. The computer background screen displays the employee’s engagement and productivity statistics in real-time, highlighting the current activity against the organizations acceptable usage policy. Toscaire uses Systemic Functional Linguistics to evaluate and categorize communication according to the semantic undertone of the message, for example, bullying, aggression and harassment. We believe that if an employee understands how they are being perceived within an organization, this will help productivity and move towards a progressive HR model.

The main objective of my project is to provide a service that encourages the identification of potential system errors, human errors or problems before they reach the user to which they could cause harm. The program recognizes staff for identifying “good catches” and is designed to share key finding across the organization.

The “Good Catch” program will:• Further strengthen the culture of quality and safety• Allow staff to be recognized for their contributions • Continue to build staff confidence in the quality improvement processes

through a non-punitive environment, and taking action to address the issues and concerns

Good Catch will be implemented in an effort to increase reporting, continue to enhance the culture of safety and provide the workplace with the opportunity to proactively identify and implement risk reduction strategies in areas that could cause harm to staff. The program endeavours to build an environment that fosters safety reporting with the intent to prevent system breakdowns before they occur - ultimately reducing the overall number of incidents, problems and adverse events.

Project Description:

The project revolves around the significance of brisk access using your technology gadgets. With advancements we are now using portable technology and gadgets like smartphones. The idea is to facilitate students with a mobile app for their Android smartphones which will make their college life easier.

This mobile app will allow college students to access all the college notes, papers, important lectures, internship details, record lecturers, make new friends using the built in messaging system and much more anytime by just using their smartphone. The idea is to readily access everything and to have it in their hands by using their phones.

At times students forget important dates such as exams or assignment submissions. This app can facilitate them by working as a reminder. The notifications will help them in getting all the relevant updates and they won’t miss any such dates.

This app will be used by students of National College of Ireland and potential applicants. They can give their feedback and recommendations and moreover can improve this app in the testing phase.

Passengers without the correct fare on Dublin Bus are given a refund ticket. The Rapid Refund Mobile App will replace the need for a customer to bring their refund ticket to Dublin Bus headquarters. Instead they will be able to input the unique number found on the receipt into the Rapid Refund app, instantly adding the amount to a nominated leapcard. This will act as an incentive for customers to use the Leapcard, making it a viable business opportunity for Dublin Bus whilst also improving customer satisfaction as evident from my research.

The Grafton Medical History App, created for Grafton Medical Practice in Dublin by Johann Taljaard, makes it simple to keep track of medical records, medications and procedures from the convenience of a smartphone.

All information is kept on the mobile phone for easy access. The app is the first of its kind in Ireland and has already been downloaded over 400 times within the first month of release in Google Play and iTunes stores. Reading and utilising the app is a snap. Once a user chooses information they would like to read, they simply press to expand the information. The application works best when accessed in a 4G or WiFi setting but will also work without.

The objective of this project is to create a web application that will promote collaborative learning among college students by providing a student orientated, user friendly platform where students can share study resources, ask questions and discuss college related topics online. The idea for this project originated from my strong interest in e-learning along with my own experience as a class representative in which I recognised a strong need for the collaborative learning features that my web application aims to provide.Studybettertogether.com is hosted live on the internet and has undergone successful end-user testing by students from a variety of third level colleges.

Golfbuddies is a golfing social network in the form of a website. Members of the site can use the websites features such as the forum, member search and private messaging service to arrange games of golf. The website will enable golfers to play more golf courses, at a reduced rate and make new friends in the process. As golfers will be aware playing with a member of a club enables you to play at a substantially reduced green fee. It will also enable golf clubs to benefit from revenue that would otherwise not be realised.
