HAL

Abdullah Rasheed

Static program analysis aims to compute safe approximations of program properties of interest. Program analyzers are a crucial component to modern day compilers, software engineering, program verification, and much more. Unfortunately, static analyses are heavily dependent on the semantics and the syntactic structure of the programming language that is being analyzed; they also reasonably vary from property to property. This results in a vast number of analyzers for different languages, as well as analyzers for each property being analyzed. My project, “Hal,” solves these two issues through a code framework that allows users to easily specify any dataflow property for any programming language’s grammar. Hal delivers a program analyzer which can interpret the grammar and compute the specified property for any program in the given language.

Productivity applications are all over the app stores, but it is rare to find one that gamifies productivity and allows for social accountability in the way that I need, so I created Momentum Productivity. Momentum is an application built with Typescript, React Native, Google Firebase, and Expo for deployment on both the Apple and Google Play stores. From within the application the user can keep track and be notified of their goals, create and join challenges created by other users, and have their productivity summed up in a simple score to visualize their “Momentum” towards their goals.

Task Management Dashboard

Sam Boese

The Task Management Dashboard is an ASP.NET MVC focused web application meant to create an easy way to manage tasks within an organization. Once logged in, users are able to view the general details of inbound and outbound tasks. These can be edited and deleted and will be shown on a calendar GUI so that it will be harder for deadlines to creep up on you. However, if someone has still not completed their task within 24 hours of the deadline, the task manager can nudge them via an email. Finally, users can create tags to assign to different tasks which gives the ability to sort by a specific category, among other things. All in all, this dashboard seeks to provide all of the task management functionality needed in an easy, condensed manner. The presentation will be at 10:15 am on Friday, May 3 in DUE 2168 or on zoom at https://bit.ly/cis598s24a.

Minimum Wage Matters

Investigating The Relationship Between Wages, Preemption Policies, Health, and Educational Outcomes

Carrie Aponte

The goal of this research project is to investigate potential relationships between minimum wage, preemption policies, and various health and educational outcomes. Previous studies have shown connections between minimum wage preemption and adverse health outcomes, but the relationships lacked thorough exploration. This presented the need to further study and quantify these relationships as well as the opportunity to investigate potential relationships with educational data. This research employed a data science approach, beginning with data collection and data wrangling, followed by thorough data exploration via supervised and unsupervised machine learning, feature selection, and correlation analysis. From these analyses, a significant relationship was established between preemption, infant mortality rates, hypertension, and numerous other poor health outcomes. A strong inverse correlation between wages and negative health outcomes was found, indicating that increased wages were associated with fewer negative health outcomes. Gender and racial relationships were discovered, showing that male and Asian students had significant links to higher wages and fewer negative health outcomes compared to female and Black students, who show significant relationships with low wages and increased adverse health outcomes. Average GPA was found to be significantly inversely correlated with a variety of poor health outcomes and positively correlated with wage increases, suggesting that academic performance increases when finances and health issues are of less concern. This study contributes to the understanding of how wages and preemption impact health and educational outcomes and highlights the importance of addressing economic disparities and health inequities to promote equitable outcomes.

Kansas State GPS Map

Andrew Barrett

I have made a map of Kansas State University that when prompted will tell you the shortest path to go from one building to another. This has been done using nodes, and connecting them with neighbors, there are approximately 450 nodes that were created. The nodes store information of longitude and latitude and any other nodes it points to. I have then used an A start algorithm to find the shortest path possible. This is all in C# using Visual Studio and I have used razor pages to make a mock website.

The Cookbook

Sebastian Trill

This project was born from my love to cook. Spending long hours with my family cooking dishes at holidays or just for fun. This website is for me, as well as others, to use to store their own recipes. Enough with all of the old folders with countless cutouts and loose notebook papers with recipes on them. Time to get these recipes in a more modern cookbook that allows for easy creation and searching of recipes. This site uses a built in SQLite database to make storing and searching for recipes quick and easy. Along with this, I added the benefit of auto calculating the nutrition facts for each recipe added to the website. To do this nutrition information, I utilize an API called CalorieNinjas to retrieve all of the nutrition for the recipe ingredients. With this site, it will make searching through recipes more efficient and get rid of all the clutter.

CheckMate

Chibuike Samuel Eze

With the recent spike in the use of AI tools such as chatbots, many can be used unethically and will inevetably be targeted towards the increase in spam with their advancement. However, currently, many AI-written emails do not get flagged for spam, with many able to bypass detection done by email filters. With many phishing emails being sent en masse from human parties, the initial hypothesis that “Emails would not be able to accurately tell the difference between human emails, scam or not, VS. AI written emails”, was based on the fact that chatbots could in the future diversify phishing email syntax to prevent being flagged. CheckMate is a research project using Machine Learning Algorithms and Natural language processing (NLP) to test this hypothesis. To allow for extra preventative measures, CheckMate is also distributed as a Chrome Extension Project via Gmail, using different classifiers to make detection applicable to the everyday user.

SmallBiz MS

Jackson Huffman & Logan Newsom

SmallBiz Management Studio (SmallBiz MS) is a hybrid mobile application created to simplify employee and inventory management within local small businesses. SmallBiz MS aims to streamline tedious processes for small business managers. Specifically, SmallBiz MS offers functionality to manage and update employee records, including personal as well as company- related information (pay rate, availability, etc.). Through this, SmallBiz MS removes the strenuous scheduling process by utilizing a scheduling algorithm based on employee availability. Similarly, SmallBiz MS offers inventory management to keep accurate records of company inventory, suppliers, and storage locations. This feature aims to simplify the tracking of product quantities, their storage locations, and supplier information. The system automatically notifies an admin when a product needs to be resupplied, and it alerts admins of “hot sellers” or products that have sold a significant portion of their stock that day. Through this, SmallBiz MS provides helpful insights into the business’ inventory. SmallBiz MS has two distinct dashboard views (Admin and Employee), each with different functionalities. This hybrid mobile application is implemented using both Python for the front-end and back-end. Kivy, a Python UI module, serves as the primary basis for interface development. Object-oriented design, with Model-View-Controller architecture, forms the backbone of the back-end in Python. SmallBiz MS utilizes a relational SQL database managed in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. For tools and environments, SmallBiz MS was entirely built within VS Code.
