The Capstone ExperienceCSE498Collaborative DesignDr. Wayne DyksenProfessor of Computer Science and EngineeringThe Capstone Experience provides the educational capstone for all students majoring in computer science at Michigan State University. Teams of students build software projects for corporate clients.During the Capstone Experience, students design, develop, debug, document, and delivera software project for a corporate client, work in a team environment, develop written and oral communication skills, become proficient with software developmenttools and environments, and consider issues of professionalism and ethics.Corporate clients are local, regional, and national including Auto-Owners Insurance, Boeing,Chrysler, Dow Chemical, Ford, GE Aviation, GM, IBM, Medtronic, Meijer, Microsoft, MotorolaMobility, Mozilla, Plex Systems, Raytheon, Spectrum Health System, TechSmith, Terex, Toro, theUnion Pacific Railroad, and Urban Science.At the end of each semester, the College of Engineering sponsors Design Day, at which studentteams from throughout the college showcase their Capstone projects in the MSU Union.Computer science capstone teams demonstrate the software projects that they have designed,developed, and delivered for their corporate client. Teams compete for four awards, which areconferred by a panel of corporate judges.We thank Auto-Owners Insurance of Lansing, Michigan for their continued support ofMichigan State University and the Capstone Experience, including the printing of this CapstoneExperience booklet.Check out the Capstone Experience web site at www.capstone.cse.msu.edu.For more information about the capstone experience or becoming a capstone project sponsor,contact Dr. Wayne Dyksen by email (dyksen@msu.edu) or by phone (517-353-5573).

Computer Science and EngineeringAuto-Owners Insurance24-Hour Road Service Mobile AppsWhen going on a vacation or simply drivinghome from work, flat tires or other car problemscan ruin one’s day. Auto-Owners Insurance provides24-hour road service to their customers, aiding in the acquisitionof help.Unfortunately, when problems occur, customers oftendo not know their account information or their exact location.With this in mind, we have developed iPhone and Androidmobile apps that store a customer’s Auto-Owners accountinformation and have the ability to determine a customer’s exactlocation using the phone’s GPS in the event of trouble.When in need of roadside assistance, a customer sendsa help request to Auto-Owners with a few button presses, afterwhich our app places a phone call on the customer’s phone toverify that a tow truck is indeed on the way.In addition to being able to view their own accountinformation, Auto-Owners customers can search for maps tonearby restaurants, hotels, and service centers.As a companion to our mobile apps, we have developed awebsite for use by Auto-Owners Insurance associates to monitorand track the utilization of our mobile apps. Auto-Ownersassociates can view app usage by service coverage limit, state,and a variety of other parameters.The applications are developed with Objective-C andJava. The website is built with C# using MVC3. Both use arestful web service to communicate with MySQL databases.Michigan State UniversityAuto-OwnersJustin HammackHowell, MichiganBob BuchananLansing, MichiganPaul FritschenNovi, MichiganCorey BurnsLansing, MichiganLingyong WangJinan, Shan Dong, ChinaTony DeanLansing, MichiganTeam Members (left to right)Corporate SponsorsPriscilla FacundoLansing, MichiganScott LakeLansing, MichiganJim SchumacherLansing, MichiganPAGE 5

The Capstone ExperienceThe Boeing CompanyBAPS 2: Battle Aircraft Position Share 2Battle Aircraft Position Share 2, or BAPS 2, is a game inwhich two players compete in a 3D arena to destroy theirenemy’s targets, which include technology centers andplanes. Players must protect their own targets by interceptingenemy communications and reacting accordingly. The gameoccurs in real time, with each player working to command theirentire fleet through both offensive and evasive maneuvers.Continuous and strategic command of technologycenters is essential to mounting a strong defense. In addition,each player selects a cyber-defense plan, which offers certainadvantages and disadvantages, depending on whether or not theplayer is playing offensively or defensively.Players must deal with information overload andrespond to feedback resulting from game events. Players whoreact both quickly and effectively will have an advantage inthe game.Since BAPS 2 is a web app, it can be played on manydevices from different locations. The web app connects to acentral game server, which keeps the game synchronized acrossall devices. This server also ensures that network latency doesnot have significant influence on the game. Communicationbetween the web app and the game server is encrypted.BAPS 2 is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7, MacOS X, Linux, Android, and iOS. The visuals are rendered inWebGL. Network connections between the game web app andthe game server are made through WebSockets.Michigan State UniversityBoeingDevin RosenLansing, MichiganPete CliveSaint Louis, MissouriNicholas PalmYpsilanti, MichiganMatt DanielsSaint Louis, MissouriChristopher HeuserBrighton, MichiganBob FeldmannSeattle, WashingtonJoshua J.

Computer Science and EngineeringThe Ford Motor CompanyFord QwikboardFord is a global company that has many geographicallydispersed teams. In order for these teams to be able tocommunicate more effectively and efficiently we havedesigned and written Ford Qwikboard.Ford Qwikboard is a “sticky note” web application thatallows teams to share key ideas through text, audio, video andvarious office attachments. For easy organization a Qwikboard isable to be broken into different sections called panels.When a user logs in they see their current Qwikboards,can create a new Qwikboard, and they can add users with whomthey will be able to collaborate. The Qwikboard is one big openspace to share thoughts and ideas freely with peers.The Qwikboard is updated in real time, which allows forinstant communication and feedback. This eliminates confinedconference rooms and cluttered whiteboards.The Ford Qwikboard is a very user friendly web applicationthat captures the natural look and feel of using ‘sticky notes’ on awhiteboard. Everything is ideally located with large buttons. Ourapplication replaces cluttered war room processes and whiteboardbrain storming with a clean and efficient virtual one accessible atany time.Ford Qwikboard is written in HTML5 with Java,JavaScript, jQuery and multiple open source frameworks. It runson any modern web browser or mobile device.Michigan State UniversityFordWilliam S.

The Capstone ExperienceGE AviationNextGen Aircraft Taxi AssistanceRunway and taxiway collisions account for the majority ofcommercial airliner accidents. In fact, the deadliest accidentin aviation history occurred when two Boeing 747 jumbo jetscollided in dense fog on a runway in the Canary Islands.While on the ground, pilots are often challenged by a varietyof competing factors including bad weather, tight schedules, and hightraffic volume. Breakdowns in communication along with limitedvisibility due to fog can lead to dangerous situations resulting indisastrous collisions.Our NextGen Aircraft Taxi Assistance provides pilots with anintuitive user interface that enables them to plan their ground routes, toeasily navigate complicated airports, and to avoid other aircraft whiletaxiing to their destination. With our system, runway and taxiwaycollisions will be greatly reduced and possibly eliminated completely.NextGen Aircraft Taxi Assistance is the latest addition tothe MSU Next Generation Flight Deck, which is the culmination offive Capstone team projects. While nothing can replace the skills andingenuity of an experienced flight crew, our next generation flightdeck design equips pilots to operate aircraft safely and reliably betterthan ever even in the direst of situations.Built with C and OpenGL, NextGen Aircraft TaxiAssistance is integrated with the X-Plane flight simulator to simulateaircraft taxiing and to test the use of our system.Michigan State UniversityGE AviationMitchell ThelenFowler, MichiganSerge BadianeGrand Rapids, MichiganJacob WalkerLake in the Hills, IllinoisSteve CarlsonGrand Rapids, MichiganJason CepelaCanton, MichiganBrian LoyalGrand Rapids, MichiganJohnathan RichterDewitt, MichiganDashiell KolbeGrand Rapids, MichiganTeam Members (left to right)PAGE 8Corporate Sponsors
