Semester Project: NANNY

Submitted by andri on

Semester: Fall of 2007
Authors: Anders Tornvig, Andreas Møgelsmose, Andri Óskarsson, Henrik Holbaek

The project idea was to help schools and other institutions deal with social networks. The idea came up when a certain 'network advisor' was busted in Denmark for seducing young children online.

The system was our first project and our first experience with the programming language C. It made use of libpcap, regular expressions and basically 'sniffed' the network for any traffic intended for specific pages, matches certain (configurable) keywords and notified if any of these triggers were triggered. A good example would be an elementary school where the teacher would want to be notified of all 'person-to-person' messages sent by their students that include the words 'sexy' or 'meet'.

Semester Project: Bulletproof

Submitted by andri on

Semester: Spring of 2008
Authors: Anders Tornvig, Andreas Møgelsmose, Andri Óskarsson, Christoffer Hjortlund, René Therkelsen

Our second semester, the project idea was to create a sniper detection system capable of locating from which direction shots were coming from by using multiple networked computers to listen for the shots and triangulate the source from the difference in time.

Project made use of microphones, GPS dongles, Avahi (for dynamic connections). Second implementation made use of threading as well.

Note: The report attached is written in Danish (and I can't really take credit for any of the writing)

Semester Project: RFID Access Control

Submitted by andri on

Semester: Spring of 2009
Authors: Andri Oskarsson, Christoffer Hjortlund

A RFID based access-control system using multi-threading, networking and existing MySQL databases.

The idea was to create a better solution for concerts, sports events and such that rely on paper tickets for access. In particular the student organization of Aalborg University wanted a way of using the student cards for authentication.

It consists of a server, written in C and libevent for asynchronous socket handling. A client, written in C# for Windows and Windows Mobile (6.5 and below). Both entities make us of a MySQL server for data.

Semester Project: Lanification

Submitted by andri on

Semester: Fall of 2009
Authors: Anders Tornvig, Andreas Møgelsmose, Andri Óskarsson

The idea was to create a software framework for peer-to-peer based office communication. Tasks such as short-term event planning and a common notification platform have no unified solution so the aim was to create one.

It was programmed using Qt 4.5 and C++ and contained over 4000 lines of code. We made use of XML, TCP, UDP, XML querying and SQLite databases. Two protocols were created for this project; one for message transport (LMTP) and one for peer discovery (LPDP).

Further information can be found in the attached report (English). Screenshots inside.

Logo creation, the (extremely) geeky way!

Submitted by andri on

Recently, me and my excellent group have been working on our semester report and we're currently down to the tiny details and hopefully we'll soon be ready to print. What has annoyed me for a while is the quality of the logo that the university hands out to its students. The only logo that has any actual colors is a JPG version that doesn't scale (or print) very well. There is also a Postscript version, but that only has one color.

I've been creating various graphics with PGF/TikZ (other examples) and LaTeX during the semester so why not use this to create the logo as well?
