VISUALIZATION OF TURING MACHINES
Mithil Kumar Santapuri, Krishna Chaitanya Korupolu and Malathi Rajendran

A Turing Machine serves as a mathematical model of computation. Alan Turing, a cryptographer and 
mathematician, described its features in 1936. 
Turing Machines can process all computable sets and can represent any 
computable function. This project implements a Java Applet that demonstrates 
how a complex input is processed by a Turing Machine. The main goal of this 
project is to show a Turing Machine in action while it is processing 
an input. If a string such as aabbcc is given as an input to the machine 
then the machine examines the symbols of the sting going through its states 
and transitions and finally accepts the string by reaching the halt state.

PARTIALLY AUTOMATED COMMENT GENERATION
Satya Abhishek Kodukula,Venkat Ramana Reddy Joonuthula, Srujana Kadiyala,
and Akindele Shiyanbola 

During software development, a good practice is to write comments and place them 
appropriately while writing the codes. This practice ensures the reusability of codes. 
Often, because of time constraints, a developer finds it difficult spending additional 
time to write comments while writing the codes. This software developmental project 
focuses on development of a comment generator to partially automate this process. Most 
of the generated comments are human assisted and some of them are automatically updated. 
The user has to type the comments in the text boxes of a GUI so that the system can 
automatically insert them into the program.

SECURED ONLINE EXAMINATION SYSTEM
Vinod Kumar Lalanolla, Ravi Kiran Meda, Narasimha Deepak Mudili,
and Bindhu Madhav Vuppu

This project involves developing a system that ensures secured online examination conducted 
by an examiner and automates the examination system. The main feature of this system embeds 
appropriate security features. An examiner can access this system securely and conduct a test 
online. The modules have been implemented using Java programming language and the user 
interface has been built using Java Server Pages. The Client’s requests are handled by Java 
Servlets and databse requirements are met with MySQL.


eHEALTHCARE: A KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS 
      AND INFECTION DISEASE CONTROL
Chutikan Putasiri and Sukhija Kashish

The healthcare cost in USA is escalating to a point that everyone involved started 
realizing that something needs to be done to make it affordable.A thorough analysis 
of the present state of healthcare indicated that the lack of standard for sharing the health 
related information often increase the cost of healthcare because of redundancy of 
services. We have developed a portal, eHealthCare, to address this issue. This portal system 
will be supported by an open grid services architecture developed by the Global Grid Forum (GGF). 
State-of-theart technologies including AJAX will be used in this development. The portal will also 
provide services for collaboration through access grid/InSORS. GUIs will also be provided for 
accessing to grid computing and datagrid. Content Management Systems, such as Drupal (an open source 
software system) will be used for health related content management. Its wiki and blog components 
will be used for communcation and collaboration.

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR OBESITY CONTROL

Praneeth Reddy Tummala, Narasimha Swamy Padavala, Sandhyapoornima Kotha

This project focuses mainly on the knowledge acquisition using the AI-based decision support system. The system is designed to collect data from various
test results, such as, lab tests, physical examination and related. All these tests results and related data are stored in a relational database. The system
is able to create a profile of a user (patient/client) and its decision support system provides a guidance suggesting appropriate nutrition charts and physical 
activities on the basis of this profile.

MATH INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEM
Anirudh Kashikar, Mallikarjun Trichinapally, BalaKrishna Kasula

This project involves the development of a Math Tutor designed for students following the course work in Algebra by using the Computer Aided Instruction 
Methods. This report also describes recent progress done on Intelligent Tutoring Systems and also addresses the strategies on Algebraic thinking and Strategies 
for overcoming Intuition. The report also discusses about the various Techniques used in the Tutoring System which include the AI-based techniques, the Architecture 
of the Tutoring System, the User Interface, Video Lessons by a real teacher and also the deployment of Analytical testing to match each student’s level. The ultimate 
goal of the Math Intelligent Tutoring System (MITS) is to tutor the student in the field of Algebra and to assess his/her understanding of the subject.

STUDENTS JOB PORTAL
Swetha Dodla and Thotireddy Ratna Shekar Reddy

This project focuses on the development of a portal to serve the job-seeking national University students. Student Job Portal is an important activity of each and every 
educational institution. Students will be able to submit their resume online in a secured way that may be used for searching a matching job/candidate by the user. The entire 
student database will be maintained by the Administrator. All the rights are given to the Administrator for sharing, updating and deleting the records from the database. 
The Administrator will collect all the details of the client companies and their recruitment criteria.


BIOGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR MARINE LIFE
Sharada Jadda, Pavani Kandi, Sarbmeet Singh, Srikanth Ambati Satyanarayana

The objective of the Biogeographic Information System for Marine Life (BISM) is to understand and predict the distribution of genes, individuals and species through space and time. 
It requires data integration from multiple types and multiple sources. This web application is designed to hold the information about where species have been found and produce a map of 
the region.

WEB-BASED JAVA TUTORIAL SYSTEM - for adaptive learning of java programming language.
Sudhir Sadanala, Baswaraju Tammaly, Venkata Krishna Reddy Tatiparthi

This online tutorial system acts as a guide for learning java programming language and provides instruction to the users for programming using java. This user friendly software can be used for advanced, comprehensive, adaptive learning on Java Programming. It also helps the users to explore and share the resources on java. The JTS provides knowledge testing using practice tests, updating the latest information to prepare for the jobs and clearing their queries through Java forums. It is designed to help the students learning java in much easier and interactive way. The system is designed to present a class defining data type and using user defined 
data types in code examples for solving meaningful problems.

OBESITY STATS MANAGEMENT USING INFORMATION VISUALIZATION AND DATA MINING
Mukesh Burgupalli, Nagarjun Golthi, Subhash C. B. Chapalmadugu and Elmer Ahyong

Obesity is a growing concern, which is developing at a rapid pace. Information technology can be used effectively in obesity management. Major concerns 
are the availability of the data from various locations and synthesizing the information for identifying people 'at risk' in a given population. Such vital 
information enables any society/organization to take an effective approach in handling obesity management. This group is able to achieve this by capturing the 
information on hand and using the techniques of data mining and information visualization, which in turn help in representing the captured data in a presentable 
form, such as, graph. Thus, this project can be seen as a forerunner for obesity control system.
