Managing Inventory With A Database, David Bartlett
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Large commercial companies often use warehouses to store and organize their product inventory. However, manually keeping track of inventory through physical means can be a tedious process and is at risk for a variety of potential issues. It is very easy for records to be inaccurate or duplicated, especially if large reorganizations are undertaken, as this can cause issues such as duplicate product ID numbers.

Data Processing In A Database Management System Using Parallel Processing, Stephen Shears
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This research project will be focused on parallel processing as it is used with database management systems to process data. Specifically, the goal is to see if creating a database management system with parallel processing at the forefront of its data processing can offer enough of an efficiency increase to warrant using it against a sequential database management system and is it possible to make that system just as reliable as those databases without parallel processing. A parallel processed database will be created with a focus on monitoring its data reliability and consistency. It will then be compared to two …

This project looks to take the statistics of soccer players and run them through an algorithm to determine how well a player is performing. The system that will be designed in the project will look to accomplish 3 main goals: allow the user to enter new statistics, store the data for all 38 game weeks for all 20 teams, and compute a score for each player’s performance for each game as well as the average of all of the player's scores.

Telecommunications Database, Tristan Hess
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The final goal of this project was to create a web application that is specifically tailored to make management of data for the Telecommunications department easier. The software that the department uses for phone service generates monthly reports that cannot be stored into their current database system. The Telecommunications Database project is a four-tier web application that was developed to store the monthly report information and alleviate the burden of manually searching through the reports for information. The web application implements basic database functionality for searching, inserting, updating, and deleting data contained in the monthly reports. Advanced searching functionality and …
