California Sheet Music Project
|
Joan Garvin
Deborah Randolph
|
Redesign of the California Sheet Music Project Web site, which
contains digital images of 19th century sheet music from
collections around California. Our goal was to make the site
more accessible to a variety of users, as well as to add
functionality, including MIDI files for some of the pieces.

Competitors+
|

Competitors+ creates an at-a-glance list of a company's
competitors. This is a boon to researchers, stock market junkies,
managers and others who need to quickly understand who's who
in industries that are new to them or rapidly changing. In
our web-prototype over 130,000 news articles spanning 2 months
were used to create lists that were 87% accurate. Unlike
services like Hoover's Online that rely on "industry experts"
to create competitor lists, Competitors+ is completely automated,
and therefore, much cheaper and easier to maintain.

DInfoBuilder (Dynamic Information Builder) project is to build
the next generation information management software. It enables
efficient, simple development, maintenance, and transformation
of information systems. DInfoBuilder allows non-technical personnel
to quickly build a dynamic e-commerce application on the web and
wireless platforms. The resulting applications will be platform
independent, device independent, database independent. DInfoBuilder
will greatly improve the ways information are organized, presented,
interoperated, and interacted.

We have designed and implemented a web-based application to
visualize ownership relationships among companies. Our goal
is to help users identify and analyze the "big picture" within
a complex industry, by simplifying those ownership relationships
down to easy-to-interpret symbols that users can manipulate
within their browsers. While we have focused specifically on
companies involved in the media industry, we believe that our
tool would be very relevant to other industries, as well.

ReadingTree

ReadingTree is, we believe, the only website of its kind -- a
book-focused online community for children in grades 1 through 5,
based primarily on a collaborative filtering book recommender
system. ReadingTree also incorporates synchronous and asynchronous
communication features to facilitate community, kid-to-kid
interaction, and opportunities to discover new books.

TINA: Tool
for Information Architects
|
Jeff McNeill
Karthik Gourisankaran
Bibi Ephraim
|
TINA, is a software application that aids information professionals
in modeling information architecture and navigation flow of websites
and web applications. TINA supports bottom up design and unlike
other software products, it does not force Information Architects
to "code" or "draw" their sitemaps, wireframes, or storyboards.
The extensive customer need and marketing research we conducted
reveals a large demand for a product like TINA and a significant
potential for market growth. In our report we present a working
prototype, justification for the design philosophy, and a business
plan to commercialize TINA that is supported by extensive marketing
research.
