For example, those produced by Phillip Harris, which are normally connected by way of a serial cable. The idea is to keep an old computer with the data-logger attached, and the SOAP server installed, in the field or lab. Am I correct in saying that Java is too security-bound for this role? Personally, I would feed the resulting XML into Cocoon, which already has SOAP input, and from there into dataframes in 'R' among other places. Once it has entered a Cocoon pipeline, it is already in a very flexible form, and Data analysis can be done anywhere that can reach the Cocoon server. You may wish to develop that end of the pipeline either using your Java skills, or by using XSLT to create Prolog facts or whatever. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi, you could port Python to the WRT54. The Linksys WRT54 is a WLAN-Router which runs Linux. See http://openwrt.org/ I think it is a good project for a university. It is software and hardware related. Thomas -- Thomas Güttler, http://www.thomas-guettler.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I am not just looking for a project for a grade, I want to do something interesting and useful, and I also need to start thinking about the future, and if I really enjoy my project then maybe it's something I'd consider focusing on in the future. > if you're serious, we can use your help! we're starting a project to create > a business dealing with used texbooks for universities on US/Canadian > college campuses. think ebay/craigslist meets the college campus. > > the project will invlove a great deal of distributed/parallel processing as > we build the grid/spidering functionality to create the underlying > databases.. I don't think my university would be too keen on this, because any work I do will, I expect, largely depend on the work of othersif something falls through then I'd be a bit screwed. But thanks anyway for the suggestion. It would, however, be perfectly acceptable to build upon a well established piece of open source software - this is very common. Thanks for all of the other suggestions, I'll research them a little bit more, and I may email some of you directly for more info if that's ok.

Well, there's a dearth of good software for network management especially for medium to large networks. Traffic stats, configuration management, device status etc. It would certainly be useful but whether it rocks your boat interest wise ... Admittedly I personally would like to play with Erlang rather than Python for this. Eddie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Jon Hewer enlightened us with: > Areas of interested include AI, distributed systems. Most of all i > want something that is interesting, and actually useful (thats > probably stating the obvious!) You could help developing Dynamite (contact Dick van Albada from the University of Amsterdam for that), perhaps extend it to work with Python. It's a system to do process migration from node to node in a really nice way. Once a program is compiled with Dynamite, you can send it a signal and it'll write it's current state into a new ELF binary. You can then move that binary to another node in your distributed system, and execute it as any other executable. The program will continue to run from where it left off.

ideas for university project ??
Hi I'm about to start my third, and final, year in computer science at cambridge uni, and i need to come up with an idea for a software project, but i'm really struggling for ideas, and i was wondering whether anyone here had any suggestions. I'd say i'm probably most experienced in Java, but I have started learning Python, and although i haven't got very far yet, I plan on doing some more in the next few weeks. Areas of interested include AI, distributed systems. Most of all i want something that is interesting, and actually useful (thats probably stating the obvious!)
