Theses

The realm of automated problem solving is a relatively new field, even in the context of natural language processing.

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 …
