Tascked: The Sanity Promoting Task Manager, Jake Tobin

Computer Science and Software Engineering

Personal task managers or various forms of to-do lists are abundant in our modern computing age. With the explosion of mobile computing technology, it is easier than ever to take notes digitally and make the data seemingly instantly available anywhere on the Internet. There is a fairly well defined core set of features in personal task managers available for public consumption, but it seems nothing that is publicly available provides feedback to the user or suggestions based on user history.

Hid Rw300/Rw400 Hardware Implementation Vulnerabilities And Mitigation Strategies, Taylor Nelson

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The HID RW300/RW400 readers are in use and deployed in buildings around the world. Designed for industrial/commercial facilities security requirements you can find them outside biotech companies (AMGEN), educational institutions (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo), and doctors offices. In a 2010 paper entitled “Heart of Darkness - exploring the uncharted backwaters of HID iCLASSTM security” by Milosch Meriac numerous vulnerabilities were outlined. Despite this research HID continues to sell these readers to consumers.

To properly protect the safety of individuals and assets these HID devices are no longer adequate. I have verified that these attacks are feasible by a moderately …

Dynamic Paint For Maya: Creation And Use In The Animation Short "Color Clash", Christopher Wallis

Computer Science and Software Engineering

This write-up describes the creation and utilization of a paint effect from both the perspective of the programmer and the animator. The paint effect simulates a 2D fluid using the algorithm described in Jos Stam's ``Real-time Fluid Dynamics for Games'' \cite{stam}, bakes the results into an image sequence, and then wraps the sequence around a 3D mesh. The second half of this paper describes how the effect was integrated into the animation short, ``Color Clash'' and the animation pipeline that was used.
