Title: Is Linux ready for the Desktop?
Aim:
To assess the viability of Linux as a desktop operating system.
Objectives:
1.
To research current literature on the viability of Linux as a desktop operating system.
2.
To identify the key differences between desktop and server-based
operating systems and to establish a definition of the term desktop
operating system.
3.
To identify the factors critical to the success of a desktop operating system.
4.
To investigate the various techniques used to conduct usability tests.
5.
To devise a set of experiments which will enable i) an evaluation of Linux
against the criteria in 2., ii) an evaluation of its usability and iii) a
comparison of it with other desktop operating systems.
6.
To conduct the experiments identified in 4. and to evaluate their results.
7.
To draw conclusions about the viability of desktop Linux based on the
evaluations in 5.
Rationale:
During the current economic climate, companies need to find ways of
trimming their IT budgets. Open source software such as Linux provides one
possible means of doing so. The purpose of this project is to produce an
objective assessment so that IT managers can assess the feasibility of
replacing their existing desktop OSes with Linux.
Facilities required:
Ubuntu Linux, Windows 10, Apple MacOS
A PC with a removable hard disk
and a

Title:
A Stock Management System for Barnet Hair Salons
Aim:
To design and implement a web-based stock management system for a
chain of local hairdressers.
Objectives:
1.
To research Stock Management Systems for SMEs
and to determine the need
for a web based stock management system.
2.
To conduct interviews with employees and manager and collect
requirements for the development of the web based stock management
system for Barnet Hair Salons.
3.
To apply thematic analysis to identify HCI and usability issues which might
impact upon the design of a web based stock management system for
Barnet Hair Salons.
4.
To design and implement a database system for stock management at
Barnet Hair Salons.
5.
To design and implement a web based front end for the database system in
4.
6.
To evaluate the tools, techniques and methods used to design and
implement the web based stock management system for Barnet Hair
Salons.
Rationale:
Barnet Hair Salons is an expanding business which currently lacks an effective
IT system. My proposed system will help the employees manage their
business more effectively. The majority of employees at Barnet Hair Salons
have very limited IT experience hence the emphasis placed on usability by my
project proposal.
Facilities required:
Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL

Title:
Assessing the vulnerability of a School’s Network Infrastructure
Aim:
To assess the vulnerability of a large secondary school’s computer
network and to recommend measures for improved security.
Objectives:
1.
To research the existing network infrastructure at the school and to identify
the security measures currently in place.
2.
To identify a number of tools which could be used to carry out a
vulnerability assessment at the school.
3.
To a survey of teachers regarding system vulnerabilities linked to the
network at the school.
4.
To analyze the findings and recommend measures to be implemented for
improved security at the school.
5.
To evaluate the tools used to assess the vulnerability of the network at the
school.
6.
To reflect on these risks and implement a plan to minimise these vulnerabilities.
Rationale:
I am currently employed by a large secondary school as a network
administrator. The security of the school’s computer network has been
compromised on a number of occasions in the last two years. This project will
help me to identify the causes of these security breaches and the measures
that could be taken to prevent them from reoccurring and hence be of benefit
to my employer.
Facilities required:
Nmap port scanner
Snort intrusion detection system
NetStumbler wireless network scanner
Nessus vulnerability scanner

Title: Objects versus Agents: Are Agents a Silver Bullet for Software
Engineers?
Aim:
To investigate the functionality offered by software agents in
comparison to objects.
Objectives:
1.
To define the terms object and agent in the context of software
engineering.
2.
To research current literature comparing objects and agents.
3.
To distinguish between agent oriented and object oriented software
engineering.
4.
To conduct a survey of experts in the field of software engineering in
relation to their use of agents vs sliver bullet.
5.
To analyze the findings of the survey using MS Excel regarding current market use.
6.
To show how agents can be used as a replacement for objects by i) the
specification of and ii) the implementation of a prototype agent system.
7.
To run a test that demonstrate the different features of both objects and
agents for a given example.
8.
To draw conclusions showing the circumstances in which agents might be
useful replacements for objects and when objects might be better suited.
Rationale:
The advantages of object-oriented software are well known and understood.
The advantages of agent-oriented software are much less understood. The
purpose of my project is to illustrate the benefits of agent-oriented software
so that software developers and IT managers can make informed choices
about their development environments.
Facilities required:

Title:
Improving Service Delivery in the Cloud
Aim:
To develop an architecture that will minimize the impact of network
performance unpredictability in cloud computing environments
Objectives:
1.
To research the different types of cloud computing environments.
2.
To identify the network performance issues associated with the various
cloud computing environments.
3.
To investigate the methods, tools and techniques used to develop cloud
computing environments.
4.
To conduct a focus group of managers in field of cloud computing delivery and
improvements.
5.
To apply Thematic Analysis to the findings to identify key industry practices.
6.
To design and implement a cloud computing architecture that is resilient
when network performance is degraded.
7.
To test the cloud computing architecture implemented in 4. using a range of
network performance levels scenarios.
8.
To analyse and evaluate the results of the tests in 5. and to draw
conclusions about the effectiveness of the proposed cloud computing
architecture.
Rationale:
Many organizations are reluctant to move their IT systems to the Cloud
because of the unpredictable nature of Internet connectivity. This project seeks
to develop a resilient cloud computing architecture which can continue to
function at an acceptable level in situations where network performance is
significantly degraded. A resilient architecture would enable cloud service
providers to improve the quality of service provided to their customers.
