Computer Science and EngineeringAuto-Owners InsuranceAgent Multimedia Ad BuilderAuto-Owners Insurance provides many differentadvertising resources to their independent agents.A significant part of this service involves a set oftemplates of ads, which are available to their agents via theirweb-based Media Center.In order to make this process easier for both parties,we have created a web application, the Agent Multimedia AdBuilder, that allows agents to create print, TV, and radio adsthat are specific to their agency.The web application allows agents to create profileswith basic information such as agency name and location,which is then automatically incorporated into one of the adtemplates. This process makes customization much moreconvenient since agents simply need to pick a template theylike and all their agency information will be used to create thecorresponding ad.For agents who want to include their own touch ofediting into the ads, we have created a basic web editor forprint ads that lets them drag and drop different pictures intothe template. The editor also allows them to edit the writtencontent in place on the ad.All of the created ads are able to be previewed andsaved for later visits through the application. Ads that arecomplete and ready for submission will be able to be sent forapproval by Auto-Owners Insurance to ensure that the ads arecleared for publication.Michigan State UniversityAuto-OwnersJeff ChapmanPlymouth, MichiganBob BuchananLansing, MichiganMichael KerwinHowell, MichiganMegan CollinsLansing, MichiganMarie BucknerNew Baltimore, MichiganScott LakeLansing, MichiganTeam Members (left to right)Corporate SponsorsPAGE 5
The Capstone ExperienceThe Boeing CompanyO-Show for Simulation SoftwareThe Boeing O-Show project is a joint effort betweenMichigan State University and The Boeing Companyto develop specialized software to find and simulatean optimized path for multiple units traveling to a largenumber of destinations. O-Show stands for “Optimize andShow.”O-Show is best understood with an illustrativeexample of how it might be used. Imagine that there are manyevaluators who are tasked to evaluate certain properties ofbasketball arenas in a given state within a given timeframe.In this scenario, our software allows the user toconfigure evaluator travel speed, number of evaluators, astarting point, maximum allowed evaluator travel distance,and a list of arenas to visit. The main goal is to optimize theroutes of the evaluators in a way that minimizes the numberof them needed to accomplish the mission.The software comprises two parts. First, a launchertakes the inputs for the desired problem. The launcher thenfeeds the inputs to lp solve, which is a software library usedfor solving linear programming models. The launcher thenreceives the results of lp solve’s calculations, completingthe “Optimize” part of our simulation. After that, our “Show”aspect of the simulation takes over.“Show”—the visualization—is written in a graphicslibrary called OpenSceneGraph and is used to render agraphical representation of the people, places, and paths ofour simulation.Michigan State UniversityBoeingMatthew FranceJackson, MichiganPete CliveSaint Louis, MissouriScott BuffaOakland, MichiganMatt DanielsSaint Louis, MissouriBryan AskinsFarmington Hills, MichiganJayson VincentSaint Louis, MissouriTeam Members (left to right)Corporate SponsorsSteve YallalySaint Louis, MissouriPAGE 6
Computer Science and EngineeringFord Motor CompanyFord Idea Place Mobile EditionAcompany’s most important assets are its employees andtheir ideas. In order for employees to document and sharethese ideas, Ford has developed an online applicationcalled Ford Idea Place.Ford employees work at many locations, including atmanufacturing plants and at supplier facilities. When someonegets an idea at such a location, say on a plant floor, they may nothave access to Ford Idea Place. By the time access is available, theidea may be lost.To address this issue, Ford partnered with Michigan StateUniversity, tasking a team of students with developing a mobilesolution that is built on Ford Idea Place. The result is Ford IdeaPlace Mobile Edition.Ford Idea Place Mobile Edition consists of two customapps, one for the iPhone and one for the Android, which allowusers to share ideas anytime, anywhere. It features the ability topost, view, rate and comment on ideas. Users can even subscribeto authors and categories to keep them updated with ideas thatcould impact their work stream. As added incentive, users are alsoawarded achievements for various milestones like posting theirfirst idea.Further expanding its capabilities, the application can usethe device’s physical resources to attach photos, audio or videoto ideas. Such functionality allows users to capture an idea fullywhile the platform’s mobility allows these features to be accessedfrom anywhere, any time.Michigan State UniversityFordDerek UlchHolt, MichiganAdam HaasDearborn, MichiganJosh KitchensAnn Arbor, MichiganMichael SeneskiDearborn, MichiganVictor KupatavetinBangkok, ThailandMichael VolkDearborn, MichiganTeam Members (left to right)Corporate SponsorsSam DjapJakarta, IndonesiaPAGE 7
The Capstone ExperienceGE AviationSuper SynopticsTrying to decipher the vast array of dials, gauges, switches, andindicators on a modern aircraft flight deck is a challengingtask even in ideal conditions. Compound the problem withflashing lights and warning buzzers from an emergency situation, andit’s easy to see why in-flight problems present difficult and potentiallyserious challenges for pilots.Working with GE Aviation, we have designed and built SuperSynoptics, a new display which will help pilots better manage anaircraft, particularly during emergency situations.Super Synoptics provides superior, intuitive instrumentationdisplays, along with summaries and solutions to current, emerging,and potential aircraft system failures.Our design streamlines the flight crew’s decision makingprocess, by presenting them with situation-applicable informationwithout overwhelming them with system information that is notcurrently relevant.Super Synoptics is designed with a simple, clean, cursorfree screen navigation scheme, which is important in turbulent andemergency situations where cursors, whether via mouse or touch-pad,are unreliable and impractical.The Super Synoptics system is comprised of the SuperSynoptics Display, built with OpenGL, and is interfaced with theX-Plane flight simulator, which is used to simulate an aircraft anddemonstrate the use of our system. The two applications communicatevia a data plugin and TCP sockets.Michigan State UniversityGE AviationShawn Henry AdamsBrighton, MichiganTimothy BurnsGrand Rapids, MichiganAdam BreecePinckney, MichiganAaron GannonGrand Rapids, MichiganNick RafalskiTroy, MichiganDashiell KolbeGrand Rapids, MichiganTeam Members (left to right)PAGE 8Corporate Sponsors
