List of Possible Projects

A large company has 4 branches within Melbourne (Sydney) metro region. We need an office supply management system to handle distribution, request and purchase for all need office supplies for the 4 branches (which may expand). We need computer access to the system, as well as possibly mobile access to look up current stocks and make requests.
Currently bulk purchases are made at the end of each month, but ad-hoc requests can be accommodated if countersigned my the department head and purchasing. Supplies are handled centrally, and we also need to keep track of stock delivery to the branches.

A medium sized equity management firm wants an Equity Management system to keep track of all equities purchased, disposed of and held by clients. They have a number of clients, and each client may have a number of equities they hold. We need to keep track of the dividends allocated for each equity a client holds as well as the current equity price so a client can tell at any time the current value of their holding. Clients would normally hook in
via a mobile app. The System should also link to the ASX to download current stock price valuations for a quick update of portfolio value.

We need a mobile based app to allow members of the public to be able register spaces they may have in Melbourne (Sydney) for other members of the public to utilize. They can register as a user, then they can register specific spaces, which may be their driveway, or perhaps a car-park in an apartment building they have but do one utilize. They need to register how many spaces, the cost per hour and the availability. Other registered users can search for spaces in specific areas and see the availability and whether they are utilized. Spaces can be booked and payment made by paypal. People overstaying may be charged penalties as this may impact people who have spaces booked.

A local General practice consortium has three metro surgeries located in Melbourne (Sydney) and want a computer system to handle keeping on-line records including prescription medicines written, and additionally want a patient booking system to handle bookings for all three surgeries. Additional surgeries may be added later. Doctors register through the system when they arrive and booking on the day can be made accordingly. If a doctor that is expected to come in does not, then patients with booked appointments for that doctor should be contacted and given the chance to select alternative times. The patients will generally access the system through a mobile device, while the doctors and front desk staff may access through a PC. Security is paramount.

Victorian Post-Secondary Institute (VPSI) offers Higher Education courses in both undergraduate and post-graduate courses. They need a computer system to record results, current enrolments, and allow the uploading of results at the end of semester by academics. Given the nature of the data and its sensitivity, security is of utmost concern, as well the necessity to keep audit trails of all additions and modifications to the database. From the Database, HE staff and academics should be able to produce an class roster which can be used for attendance, and also a class list which can be downloaded in the form of a spreadsheet, which can be then used by academics to fill in final grades and then use these to automatically upload into the system at the end of semester. Various reports should be able to be produced. Students need the ability to look at their grades online via an app.

The auto-parts warehouse is part of a large auto-servicing business that provides scheduled services and maintenance to all makes and models of vehicles where practicable. They need a computer system to store records on all parts kept for the various makes and models of cars. Historical data needs to be kept on volumes so that adequate supply levels can be maintained automatically. Each part will have a quantity trigger level, and when the available numbers fall below this level due to orders arriving, it will automatically send email orders to the supplier used to supply that particular part. Orders can be placed by servicing staff for a particular servicing job they are doing, or my members of the public who wish to purchase a part for their own car they are working on. Thus retail prices need to be stored with the parts, and internal orders for service jobs get priority when stock is low. You will need to building an ordering system into this, and also give members of the publis access via an app to the catalogue of parts.

Human Activity recognition using smartphone Data sets Demonstrate any Machine Learning Algorithm using the Human activity recognition using smartphone data using dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. The experiments have been carried out with a group of 30 volunteers within an age bracket of 19-48 years.

Each person performed six activities (WALKING, WALKING_UPSTAIRS, WALKING_DOWNSTAIRS, SITTING, STANDING, LAYING) wearing a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S II) on the waist. Using its embedded accelerometer and gyroscope, we captured 3-axial linear acceleration and 3-axial angular velocity at a constant rate of 50Hz.

The experiments have been video-recorded to label the data manually. The obtained dataset has been randomly partitioned into two sets, where 70% of the volunteers was selected for generating the training data and 30% the test data.
Predict taxi tips using Microsoft R with SQL Server

Use SQL Server R Services and provide data scientists with a combination of R code, SQL Server data, and custom SQL functions to build and deploy an R model to SQL Server. The NYC Taxi demo data is available from download from Microsoft. You need to use the Team

Data Science Process (TDSP) which is an agile, iterative data science methodology to deliver predictive analytics solutions and intelligent applications efficiently. TDSP helps improve team collaboration and learning. It contains a distillation of the best practices and structures from Microsoft and others in the industry that facilitate the successful implementation of data science initiatives. The goal is to help companies fully realize the benefits of their analytics program.
