Title:      Graphical Visualisation Tools
Time:       09:30am
Abstract:
A Visualisation Tool for Fifo's whose purpose is to teach students the data
structure of Fifos.  These tool has improvements over other current
Visualisations tools which include Query Mode, Multiple Display Views and
Multiple Code View with different Languages.

Title:      Counting Larvae using Image Processing
Time:       10:00am
Abstract:
In order to sell prawn larvae to its customers, the Department of Primary
Industries requires precise estimation of tank populations.  At present,
staff are simply guessing this figure by inspection.  This procedure needs
to be changed as it is slow, inaccurate, and hazardous to the health of
the delicate larvae.  The aim of this project is to design and implement
an automated method of population estimation, using live video input.  As
part of this project, a program has been written which interprets the
video input, processes this information to give an estimate of the number
of larvae, and presents the data to the user in a user-friendly and
useful manner.

Title:      Hockey Draw Program
Time:       10.30 am
Abstract:	
This project maintains and develops a match draw calculation 
package named Hockey Draw. This program is to be used by the 
Brisbane Hockey Association to maintain their complex competition 
draw.
The project was quite complicated due to the 'simulated annealing' 
process used to calculate the draw, combined with developing 
existing code.  It was developed in the Delphi language.

Title:      Modula-2 Program Visualiser
Time:       11:00am
Abstract:
First-year students, particularly first-time programmers, can easily be
frustrated by programming if they do not receive the necessary help to be
successful early on.  This project is attempt to provide better help for
programmers in Black Box.  The Visualiser follows similar principles to a
normal debugger, but is simpler and has one exceptional capability.  The
Visualiser allows debug information to be viewed remotely over a TCP/IP
network or locally.  Certain features also make the Visualiser very
extendible.

Title:      O-Chat
Time:       12:00pm
Abstract:
O-Chat is a real-time, interactive, online discussion between 
two or more people.  In a chat room, members from all over the 
world connect to a chat to write each other messages that are 
immediately conveyed back and forth.

Title:       Smart Card Authentication for Dascom DCE
Time:        1:00pm
Abstract:
Our project goal was to enhance and strengthen the security of the 
authentication process for Dascom's Intraverse NetSEAT Client by integrating 
smart card technology. The seminar revolves around the methods and technology 
used to implement the project goal.  We will discuss the various smart cards 
used and the API placed around them.

Title:       Analysis and optimization of the energy consumption of an
	     autonomous-robot-system
Time:        1:30pm
Abstract:
The limit of an autonomous robot is normally defined by it's energy
supply. Knowledge about the energy consumption enables the designer /
programmer to develop new models and algorithms in order to improve the
robots performance. The measurements where taken, while the robot performed 
different types of movements and behaviors.  
Within this project the commercial robot "Khepera", that is built in
Switzerland, was used to gain these data.

Title:       QUT Robot Soccer Team A
Time:        2:00pm
Abstract:
The QROSO project is a long term task running over 4 semesters of
which 2 have passed. It is aiming at participating in mini-robot
soccer championchips according to the rules of FIRA. The project is
the largest interdisciplinary student project initiated by FIT. During
the last semester 10 students from various disciplines have been
involved with the project. This seminar will describe my
contribution to the project, which has been in the areas of
administering computer resources, setting up and managing a webserver,
design and planning issues, communication protocol implementation,
hardware testing.
