1. SonarandGITHUBmonitoringtool

1.1. Description

Code quality measurement is an important part of the software development lifecycle. Both managers and developers benefit from a fast automatic feedback loop that is provided by the static analyzers deployed using Sonar. In this project you will develop a web site which aggregates data spread over a period of time from Sonar and GitHub and provide meaningful measures of how a project’s quality evolved. The data will be displayed for users such as the developers and the project managers. The web site will be developed using Java 8, Spring boot and Angular JS. It will immediately become an integral part of the SG’s application ecosystem and continuous delivery pipeline and you will experience first-hand interaction with the end-users of the application.

4. NOSQLBigDataStorageService

4.1. Description

Big Data is a broad term used to refer to data sets that are too large and complex and for which traditional applications and methods of storing and processing are inadequate. NOSQL is a term that refers to databases systems that are usually of a different type than relational databases and that also have a SQL like set of instructions allowing for easy interaction with the data system, the term being an acronym for “not only SQL”.

The project aims at creating an application that exposes one or several REST web services exposing basic data manipulation operations (creating, retrieving, updating, deleting) and sitting on top of a mix of KV store NOSQL database systems as well as text search optimized ones. The application provides:

REST web service exposing basic CRUD operations.

NOSQL data base control layer.

Socket communication capabilities and protocol for storing of large datasets.

Ability to plug in new data models and types.

Possibility to publish to relational databases for BI purposes as an optional feature.

7. ScalableRelationalDatabasesBasedDataServicewithCQRS

7.1. Description

CQRS is a design pattern that dismisses the notion of a single shared domain model used across an entire application. It introduces separate models for state-changing operations versus operations that only inspect the state of the system. These operations are categorized as commands and queries, hence the acronym for the pattern. Simple applications that mostly perform CRUD operations can do well with a single domain model. However, as the complexity increases more requirements arise for both update logic as well as inquiring logic. Supporting all these - at one point competing requirements - becomes cumbersome as more and more differences get in the way. Relational database management systems are regarded as non-scalable. This is due to their need to guarantee the integrity of transactions. Employing CQRS adds a certain degree of freedom making horizontal scaling possible to some extent. The project aims at creating an application that exposes one or several REST web services exposing basic data manipulation operations (creating, retrieving, updating, deleting) that relies on RDBMSs and employs CQRS to allow implementation of multiple domain models . The application provides:

REST web service exposing basic CRUD operations.

A set of command handling components.

A set of event handling components.

Socket communication capabilities and protocol for storing of large datasets.

8. UseraccessmanagementsystemwithSingleSignOn

8.1. Description

According to Wikipedia, Single sign-on (SSO) is a property of access control of multiple related, but independent software systems. With this property a user logs in with a single ID to gain access to a connected system or systems without being prompted for different usernames or passwords, or in some configurations seamlessly sign on at each system. Such ability represents a game changer for most large scale organizations and their myriad of internal interconnected systems. In its simple implementation, there are a number of drawbacks as not all users are desired to have same level of access across the complete array of interconnected systems. To overcome this drawback a role based access management system easily configurable by an access rights matrix needs to be employed. To make the package complete and functional an API must be available taking the form of a REST web service. The project aims at creating an application that exposes one or several REST web services that allow both user and roles management capabilities as the SSO capabilities. This application must provide:

REST web service exposing user and roles management APIs.

REST web service exposing SSO APIs.

Kerberos based authentication.

Integrated Windows authentication.

Horizontal scalability capabilities.

Optional Web presentation.

9. HROpenPositionsandCandidatesManagementSystem

9.1. Description

Fast growing modern day organizations are always in need of fresh talents and not only as industry established giants are always on the lookout for young and fresh talent. This adds pressure on HR departments and impacts their productivity as well as increasing the costs in those departments arising the need for internal applications and systems to ease up the management of positions, candidates and CVs. These tools need to be web based, comply with modern day security requirements as well as cope up with large amounts of data as well as be able to aggregate that data into various BI reports. The project aims at creating an application that allows easy management of opened positions, CVs and candidates profiles as well as offering various reports and statistics. This application must provide:

REST web service exposing APIs for front-end integration.

Integration with authentication service.

Storing of CVs and user related data.

Fast search through profiles and CVs by employing Mongo or similar technologies.

Reporting and statistics capabilities.

Possibility to create custom candidates groups and lists (e.g. blacklists, shortlists).

What is FIX? The most common used protocol in financial communications. (Financial Information eXchange ). It comprises a multitude of messages, each of them containing header, body and trailer. The purpose of this project is to implement a very simple market (exchange) that permits trading. For example London Stock Exchange is such a market. The resulting application needs to be a proof of concept, not all fully functional market. To be able to create a server type application that will receive trade requests from another client application using a certain protocol (possibly FIX) and to make trades on that instrument and to provide price updates. This is a multi process project and will involve interprocess communication.

13. FinancialGame(AlliensvsTraders)

13.1. Description

Since there are members of the team that have extensive game programming experience with the Unity Game Engine, we are proposing another topic: a financial game based on the activity of a real trader. We want to base it on the actions a trader must take based on different events and news that he has to analyze, and how these news will impact his financial income of his instruments that he is trading. For example: If the aliens attack Fort Knox, and steal all the gold in there, then automatically the price of gold is expected to increase, therefore the trader is assumed to buy gold in order to capitalize on this price increase. We want to have a graphical interface that comprises of a GUI that shows a list of the instruments that the trader currently has in his portfolio, as well as a map of the locations that contain all these instruments (basically a world map with resources on top of it). This game can be developed on either Windows platform or Android.
