20 kick-ass network research projects

By Network World staff

Network World |

While start-up funding and the emergence of exciting new network startups has fizzled over the past year, research projects at university and other labs continue to sizzle. Here's look at 20 of the coolest:

Plotting a cheap, distributed zero-day worm defense 

Shutting down zero-day computer attacks could be carried out inexpensively by peer-to-peer software that shares information about anomalous behavior, say researchers at the University of California at Davis . The software would interact with existing personal firewalls and intrusion detection systems to gather data about anomalous behavior, says Senthil Cheetancheri, the lead researcher on the project he undertook as a grad student at UC Davis from 2004 to 2007. The software would share this data with randomly selected peer machines to determine how prevalent the suspicious activity was, he says. If many machines experience the identical traffic, that increases the likelihood that it represents a new attack for which the machines have no signature. The specific goal would be to detect self-propagating worms that conventional security products have not seen before.

MIT's sticky notes killer (though they say it isn't) 

MIT computer science professor David Karger's research team has developed software dubbed List.it that's designed to computerize many of the things people currently do through sticky notes: organize email addresses, passwords and the like. The software lives in your Firefox browser and can be downloaded here. The software comes out of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), a perennial hotbed for IT inventions. "I would never make the claim that we're trying to replace Post-its," says Michael Bernstein, a graduate student in Karger's lab. "We want to understand the classes of things people do with Post-its and see if we can help users do more of what they wanted to do in the first place."

Researchers devise undetectable phishing attack With the help of about 200 Sony Playstations, an international team of security researchers have devised a way to undermine the algorithms used to protect secure Web sites and launch a nearly undetectable phishing attack. To do this, they've exploited a bug in the digital certificates used by Web sites to prove that they are who they claim to be. By taking advantage of known flaws in the MD5 hashing algorithm used to create some of these certificates, the researchers were able to hack VeriSign's RapidSSL.com certificate authority and create fake digital certificates for any Web site on the Internet. Although the researchers believe that a real-world attack using their techniques is unlikely, they say that their work shows that the MD5 hashing algorithm should no longer be used by the certificate authority companies that issue digital certificates. "It's a wake-up call for anyone still using MD5," said David Molnar a Berkeley graduate student who worked on the project.

Website Morphing 

Web sites that automatically customize themselves for each visitor so they come across as more appealing or simply less annoying can boost sales for online businesses by close to 20%, MIT research says. These sites adapt to display information so everyone who visits sees a version best suited to their preferred style of absorbing information, say the four researchers who wrote about such sites in "Website Morphing", a paper published in Marketing Science last year. So the site might play an audio file and present graphics to one visitor, but present the same information as text to the next depending on each person's cognitive style. Morphing sites deduce that style from the decisions visitors make as they click through pages on the site.

Making quantum computers a reality 

Researchers in the U.K. and the U.S. published a paper detailing discoveries that might bring a fully functional quantum computer one step closer to reality. Quantum computing, which has been researched for decades, has traditionally had a problem of keeping data in a coherent format, making it difficult to run programs or computing tasks. The researchers have found a way to preserve electrons, which store the data, longer, which allows a system to process data more coherently and run programs more effectively. The group's research focused on phosphorus atoms in silicon. The best attempts previously have flowed a current past the electrons via small electrical wires, but that has brought in a lot of quantum noise, removing a key advantage of the material.

Separately, researchers from Toshiba and Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory are reporting a breakthrough they say could make quantum cryptography a reality in the near-term. The gist of the research is that they've come up with a much less complicated way (a "decoy protocol" generated using a laser and a compact detector) to support quantum cryptography, one that does not rely on cryogenic cooling or complicated optical configurations.Making your PC talk in its sleep 

Microsoft and University of California, San Diego researchers have developed a device they say can save on energy costs by enabling end users to put their computers into a "sleep talking" mode that falls somewhere in between awake and sleep modes. They say it could save 60% to 80% on energy usage. The USB device, dubbed Somniloquy, features a low-power processor that works at the PC's network interface level on wired and wireless networks. It boasts an embedded operating system and flash memory, and disguises itself as a sleeping PC to other systems on a network. But it can also wake up the actual PC in times of need, such as if a large file is coming in.

Separately, University of Liverpool researchers have developed software called PowerDown that they say could save big organizations close to US$17K per month simply by automating the shutoff of computer systems not being used. 

Giving the boot to rebooting PCs 

NSF-funded researchers are applying ultra-thin ferroelectric materials found on ATM and other smart cards to computers, with hopes that one day this could result in low-power/high-speed memory devices and computers that turn on faster. The researchers, from Cornell University, Penn State University and Northwestern University, reported their findings in the journal Science on April 17 in an article titled "A Ferroelectric Oxide Made Directly on Silicon." The researchers have put strontium titanate on silicon in such a way that the material has been "squeezed into a ferroelectric state," according to the NSF. More research needs to be done to develop faster booting computers, but the researchers are encouraged by initial results.

Violent video games good for your eyesight 

More evidence that video games are good for you : A Tel Aviv University and University of Rochester researchers have found that playing violent video games can improve teens' vision. In particular, the games (such as first-person shooter games) have been found to help players train their brains to better discern subtle differences in color or shades of gray. "We think that the games are taking the brain's visual cortex to the limits, forcing it to adapt to the added stimuli of the action games," said Uri Polat of Tel Aviv University's Goldschlager Eye Institute, in a statement.

Another recent study out of Michigan State University found that video games could deliver skills to players that could help them perform delicate acts such as surgery. In fact, one researcher suggested that the fact more boys play video games gives them an upper hand over girls in this area.Another recent study found that the tools used to build 3D shooter games can also be applied to designing systems to help people evacuate burning buildings.

Defining cloud computing obstacles and opportunities 

UC Berkeley researchers have outlined their view of cloud computing , which they say has great opportunity to exploit unprecedented IT resources if vendors can overcome a litany of obstacles.The 11 researchers' cloud computing forecast is documented in a paper called "Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing." The research group works in the Reliable Adaptive Distributed Systems Laboratory (RAD Lab), a 3-year-old outfit funded by companies such as Google, Microsoft, IBM and Sun. "We argue that the construction and operation of extremely large-scale, commodity-computer datacenters at low-cost locations was the key necessary enabler of Cloud Computing," they write.

But to take full advantage of the opportunity, vendors need to rethink the way they build their products. Application developers need to ensure their offerings can not only scale up, but scale down quickly to satisfy the needs of customers who resort to cloud computing to meet short-term needs. Developers of applications and infrastructure software also need pay-as-you-go licensing models that conform to the reality of cloud computing. Makers of infrastructure software must also craft products designed to run on virtual machines, a foundation technology in large-scale data centers used by cloud computing suppliers.

Researchers tout wireless microgrippers 

In the not-too-distant future, your surgeon may be someone who -- instead of wielding a scalpel -- injects you with a flock of dust-sized wireless devices that grab and remove infected or damaged tissue in response to chemical signals. These microgrippers, less than 1/254th of an inch (1/10th of a millimeter) in diameter, have been developed by researchers at John Hopkins University, and tested in biopsy-like procedures with animal tissue. One writer described them as working like a hand: a "palm" surrounded by six "fingers" that can open and close around an object. The crab-like devices are moved and guided by external magnets, and grab or release in response to non-toxic biochemicals or temperature changes.

Arizona State, HP dare you to break their electronic displays 

HP and Arizona State University researchers have introduced the first prototype of a paper-like computer display made mostly from plastic that has a lot going for it: it's affordable, flexible and takes it easy on the power. Applications could include electronic paper and signage, according to the two outfits. The displays are based on self-aligned imprint lithography (SAIL) technology from HP Labs. Other organizations, such as DuPont Jeijin Films and E Ink, also made possible the first prototype.

Researchers target software freezes with "Gadara" 

University of Michigan researchers have devised a controller they say can anticipate when software programs might freeze up in order to make sure they don't. This issue is becoming more important than ever as multicore and shared systems crank up the number of processes being handled at any time. Their Gadara system uses feedback techniques comparable to those used by cruise control in cars as well as control logic, and is designed to fix things without needing to have the original programmer get involved. "This is a totally different approach to what people had done before for deadlock. Previously, engineers would try to identify potential deadlocks through testing or program analysis and then go back and rewrite the program. The bug fixes were manual, and not automatic. Gadara automates the process," said Stéphane Lafortune, a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a Gadara developer.

Talk-powered cell phones? Nanoscale piezoelectrics could make it real 

It's possible that in the future your voice conversations on your cell phone could generate enough electrical power to run the phone, without batteries. And not just phones. The technology , which converts mechanical stress like vibrations into electrical energy, could power a whole range of low-power mobile devices and sensors. That's one possible outcome of recent work by a team of Texas A&M and University of Houston researchers, who appear to have discovered that by building a certain type of piezoelectric material to a specific thickness (about 21 nanometers, compared to a typical human hair of 100,000 nanometers), you can boost its energy production by 100 percent.

Building brainier computers 

IBM Research  is working to bring the brain's processing power to computers , in an effort to make it easier for PCs to process vast amounts of data in real time. The researchers want to put brain-related senses like perception and interaction into hardware and software so that computers are able to process and understand the data quicker while consuming less power, said Dharmendra Modha, a researcher at IBM. The researchers are bringing the neuroscience, nanotechnology and supercomputing fields together in an effort to create the new computing platform, he said. The goal is to create machines that are mind-like and adapt to changes, which could allow companies to find more value in their data. Right now, a majority of information's value is lost, but relevant data can allow businesses or individuals to make rapid decisions in time to have significant impact, he said. "If we could design computers that could be in real-world environments and sense and respond in an intelligent way, it would be a tremendous step forward," Modha said.

Top 12 Computer Science Project Ideas

This list of computer science project ideas for students is suited for beginners, and those just starting out with Python or Data Science in general or final year project topics for computer engineering in diploma .  These computer science project ideas will get you going with all the practicalities you need to succeed in your career as a software developer.

Further, if you’re looking for computer science project ideas for the final year, this list should get you going. So, without further ado, let’s jump straight into some computer science project ideas that will strengthen your base and allow you to climb up the ladder.

1.  Face detection

It is of high importance and it serves various purposes in many fields. Most importantly, the technology of face detection has increased the surveillance efforts of the authorities. 

Face detection coupled with the technology of biometrics and security has helped to identify people’s faces which has resulted in various processes such as starting an app, security, or guiding what the next action steps of the application would be.

The technology of face detection uses facial algorithms to identify the reach of facial prints. The technology can adapt and recognize which facial features to detect and which ones to ignore.

One of the best mini project ideas for cse to start experimenting with your hands-on computer science projects for students is face detection software. This project focuses on building face detection software using the OpenCV library. The face detection program will be modeled in a way that it can detect faces in live stream videos from a webcam or video files stored in a PC’s local storage. The software uses pre-trained XML classifiers to detect faces in real time and track them. You can also use different classifiers to identify various objects through this detection program.

To run this program, you need to install the OpenCV library on your local machine. Also, it would be best if you created appropriate paths for the XML classifier files before executing the program.

2.  Online auction system

The online auction allows the users to procure the benefits of the auction from any geographical location. The sellers can showcase their products or services to buyers across the locations. This helps in wider reachability and a huge expansion of the business. 

Another useful feature of online auctions is the instant feedback feature that allows the bidders to track the price increase due to higher bidding. 

The bidders or buyers from across the globe can log in at any time of the day to track or bid. This way they do not lose out on the opportunity due to different geographical timelines.

In an online auction, buyers and sellers engage in transactional business, wherein buyers purchase items through price bidding. Here, the bids have a starting price and an ending time. Potential buyers who place the highest bidding price for an item are declared the winners and owners of particular items. 

In this project, you will create a secure online auction system using the fraud detection method with binary classification. If a user wants to buy a product through an online auction, they must provide their identification details like PAN number, email address, license number, etc. The system will then screen the users, authenticate, and authorize them. Only authorized users can bid in the auction. The system will be designed to predict fraudulent users in the early stages, thereby eliminating the risk of online fraud and scams. These beginner-level computer science projects will help build a strong foundation for fundamental programming concepts.

3.  evaluation of academic performance.

Evaluation of academic performance allows the institutions to track the student’s performance. This not only helps in enhancing the student’s performance but also improves the teaching techniques and teacher’s performance.

The teachers could chart out teaching objectives that help them in achieving those objectives. This way, the teachers can adopt the successful pedagogy and ignore those pedagogies that do not add value to the student’s performance.

This is one of the most interesting mini project ideas for cse which involves the creation of an evaluation system that can analyze the academic performance of students by utilizing the fuzzy logic method. In the fuzzy logic method, you will consider three parameters, namely, attendance, internal marks, and external marks, to evaluate the final academic performance of students of an institution. The fuzzy inference system is much more accurate than conventional techniques.

While developing this Computer Science project, make sure that the student information uploaded is correct (devoid of errors). Faulty data entry may lead to inaccurate results. 

4.  e-Authentication system 

There are various types of authentication systems such as OTP, password, biometrics, etc.

The authentication system allows for a better user experience without having the need for multiple setups. It is also useful for tightening security. The enhanced security features pave the way for more number of users to adopt the technology.

The e-authentication has seen wider adaptability. It is used to access government services, transactional processes, online platforms, and more. The users can secure their identity with the means of an e-authentication system, thus providing scope for higher security.

This project focuses on building an e-Authentication system using a combination of QR code and OTP for enhanced security. The e-Authentication system is designed to avoid the hacking of accounts through shoulder surfing and misuse of login credentials. To be able to use the system, a user has to first register in the system by entering the basic registration details (name, address, zip code, etc.).

Once the registration is complete, the user can access the login module to authenticate the account by entering the email id and password combination they used during registration. Then, the user can proceed to the next authentication step using either of the two options – QR (Quick Response) code or OTP (Time Password). As per the option selected by the user, the system will generate a QR Code or an OTP. While the QR code will be sent to the user’s mail id, the OTP will be sent via SMS to the registered mobile number of the user. 

The system randomly generates the QR Code and OTP at the time of login. It makes the login more secure. However, to use this system, one always needs an active Internet connection.

5.  Cursor movement on object motion

This is a project where you will design a cursor that can move through the desktop and perform actions based on hand gestures. The system’s object movement will be based on RGB (red, green, and blue) colour – it can detect RGB colour objects that will function as the mouse. It would help if you imported the Java AWT library to coordinate with the cursor. The system setting uses a webcam to track the movement of the red, green, and blue objects and based on the object movement patterns, accordingly trigger an event. 

The cursor movement system will acquire a single frame from the video recorded by the webcam and flip the frame for the user to see. It converts the captured image into a binary image wherein the RGB objects will become white. The system further adds a bounding box around the object that the user can move throughout the display.  

6.  Crime rate prediction

There are various benefits attached to crime rate prediction, such as taking preventive measures, tracking the culprits, advanced decision-making processes, etc.

The methodology allows the decision-makers to predict the crime and perform law- enforcement measures to mitigate the repercussions.

This way, the stakeholders can provide satisfaction, increase their lifestyle experience and most importantly identify the negative externalities and take appropriate actions to curb them.

The stakeholders can allocate the budget based on the statistic, this helps in effective resource allocation. The concerned agencies can utilize their resources to better use. The crime prediction system helps in faster justice delivery and reduces crime rates. 

This is one of the most innovative mini project ideas for cse . As the name suggests, this Computer Science project involves building a prediction system that can analyze and predict the crime rate of a particular location. Naturally, the system needs to be fed with relevant data. It uses the K-means data mining algorithm to predict the crime rate. The K-means algorithm can cluster co-offenders and organized crime groups by detecting relevant crime patterns via hidden links, link prediction, and statistical analysis of crime data. 

It functions somewhat like this – the admin will feed the crime data into the system. The algorithm will analyze crime data stored in a database and extract information and patterns from it. It will then collate the crime groups based on the patterns found in the dataset. The clusters will be made based on factors like where the crime took place, which people were involved in the crime, and when the crime occurred. 

7.  Android battery saver system

The battery saver project is useful for the users to track the usage of the application. The users can track which of the applications are consuming the maximum energy. 

This way the users can optimize their application management. The optimization of the application can limit the application usage, and this end up limiting the battery. 

The battery saver in the mobile phone would also allow the users to procure the list of applications in one place, the consumption rate is also accurate. 

This is of a simple computer science project yet an exciting one. The Android battery saver is designed to analyze the battery usage data from built-in classes and create a consolidated list of apps that drain the power of the Android phone. The system can also determine the battery level of the phone. In situations where the battery level is low, and numerous apps are consuming too much power, this system will trigger an alarm telling the user to force stop or close the apps that are drawing power.

While the battery saver system has no backend, it uses Android Studio as the frontend. Since the system feeds on data from an Android phone, it does not need a backend framework. The primary aim of this battery saver system is to notify users of the apps that are high on power consumption, thereby allowing them to take specific actions to stop battery drainage. 

In-Demand Software Development Skills

8.  symbol recognition .

This is one of the excellent computer science project ideas for beginners. The proposed project seeks to build a system that can recognize symbols inserted by the user. This symbol recognition system leverages an image recognition algorithm to process images and identify symbols. First, the system converts RGB objects into grayscale images which are then further converted into black-and-white images. During the process, image processing is applied to remove unwanted objects and environmental interference. The system further uses optical character recognition for recognizing the images with 60-80% accuracy. This is one of the interesting computer science projects. 

In the system, all symbol templates will be stored in a specific directory. The size of each image is fixed to allow the easy recognition of the symbols with accuracy. The templates will remain in black-and-white form, and the system will create a dataset of these templates. When a user inputs a query image into the system, it will resize the query image, compare the resized image values against the template image values in the dataset, and finally display the result in text format. So, while the system takes inputs as images, it delivers output in a textual form.

9.  Public news droid

There are various benefits to adopting the public news droid as one of the most effective  mini project ideas for cse , such as-

• Easy to navigate
• Instant updates 
• The users receive all the news, even if they are not trendy or hyped about it. 
• Accessible by the registered users
• Feature to report news if it is malicious, or irrelevant

This is one of the excellent computer science projects for beginners. The public news droid is an informative software application that informs users about the trending news, occurrences, and interesting events happening in and around their locality. Thus, the idea behind creating this information system is to keep the users informed about the happenings in their vicinity. The system uses Android Studio as the front end and SQL Server as the back end. 

The system involves two modules, one for the admin and one for the user. The admin monitors the accuracy and relevancy of news and information. For instance, if the admin encounters fake news or app misuse, they can take necessary action to stop the spread of such irrelevant information. On the contrary, users can view news and informative articles only of their respective localities/towns/cities, and they can add news related to any other city. Mentioning  computer science projects can help your resume look much more interesting than others.

To use the app, users need to register into the system to use this app and add all the necessary details. Once the registration process is successful, the user can see the latest news, refresh the app, browse for more information, add new information and upload it (within 450 words), and so on. Users can also add images and titles for the news they add. 

10.  Search engine 

The search engine is highly useful, it helps in bringing the visibility of the brand, target-based ads, brand awareness, performance management, increasing website traffic, and more. 

The brands can make their visibility grow by using proper keywords and using various other methodologies. Moreover, the brands can utilize the search engine to overcome the competition and grow their business. 

The more people are able to see the brand, the better its authenticity would be. It will eventually result in the revenue growth of the brand. 

This search engine is developed using web annotation. It is one of the trending computer science projects where when users enter specific words or phrases in a search engine, it automatically fetches the most relevant pages that contain those keywords. Web annotation makes it possible. Web annotation helps to make an application user-friendly. Thanks to web annotation, users can add, modify, and remove information from Web resources without altering the resource itself. 

This project uses web annotation on pages and images. When the user enters words, names, or phrases in the system, it will fetch the information and pictures having the same annotation. Then the system displays a list of results that contain the image or content matching the user input. For this search engine, you need to use an effective algorithm to generate a query result page/search result records based on users’ queries.

11.  Online eBook maker

One of the best ideas to start experimenting with your hands-on computer science projects for students is working on an online eBook maker. This online eBook maker will allow users to design and create eBooks free of cost. The system has two modules – admin login and author login. The admin can accept requests from users (authors), check and validate their details, evaluate completed eBooks, and process the request by mailing eBooks to the authors. Users can register in the system using the author login.

After filling in the necessary details, users can create new books, specify the context of books, add the title, and a number of pages, add a book cover, etc. Existing users can simply log in using their ID and password, and they can either create new books or resume editing the existing (unfinished) eBooks. Authors can keep only three incomplete eBooks at a time, of which they must complete at least one book before starting a new book. 

12.  Mobile wallet with merchant payment

There are various benefits attached to the mobile wallet, such as-

• Cashless payment
• The applications are protected with a password
• The QR code generation, allows the users to ensure safe transactions.
• The amount first gets stored to the merchant’s wallet, eventually reaching to their bank accounts.
• Reduces fraud detection

This can be an interesting and useful computer science project ideas. As you can guess by the name, this is a QR code scanning application designed for handling and facilitating liquid cash transactions between sellers (merchants) and consumers. The aim of building this app is to provide a secure, reliable, and efficient platform for monetary transactions on both ends. Each time, the system generates a unique QR code ID, and all passwords are encrypted using AES Encryption Algorithm. 

There are two parts of this application – an Android application for merchants that can scan the QR code and the other part for the consumer for generating the QR Code. The front end uses Android Studio, and the back end uses SQL Server. This system functions something like this – when merchants scan the QR code generated by the app, the desired amount is transferred into their wallet which is easily transferable into their bank accounts. As for the consumers, they need to add money to their wallets via their credit/debit cards linked to their bank accounts. They can save the card details for future use. Merchants can also change their personal and bank details. And this is the perfect idea for your next computer science project!

Some Bonus A-Level Computer Science Project Ideas

Basic Hospital Management System

The hospital management system is useful for managing resources and operating the hospital effectively. The hospital management infrastructure is useful for managing patient details, infrastructure management, drugs management, dispensary, etc.

The staff trusts the hospital management application to run the day-to-day functions. Thus, technology becomes of high importance.

The health management system facilities in better decision-making and revenue management. Apart from serving the patients, the hospitals have to take care of the revenue for acquiring talented doctors and providing decent health facilities. 

This is a programming and database management app designed as a centralized system for hospitals to digitize and handle huge data ( like patient details, appointments made, results of lab tests, patient diagnosis information, etc.). This is one of the best computer science project ideas that can add value to your resume.  

Developing a hospital management system is easy for beginners. A functional and effective hospital management system can be created with a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS. 

The system should be able to receive new entries, store them safely, and enable hospital staff and system administrators to access, and use the data. 

You should develop the hospital management system in a way that should assign a unique ID to each patient registered at the hospital. The system must include all necessary details of hospital staff besides patients in a local database.  

When the data increases, it becomes challenging for the staff and hospital administrator to find the required data of a particular patient or staff. So, it is important to have search functionality to make the search process across thousands of data much easier.  

While it is enough to use the local storage to run the hospital management, you can also use a cloud database. Both of them have their pros and cons. You must leverage the advantages and disadvantages to make computer science topics more challenging and interesting. Check out this Github project for reference.

Real-time Weather Forecasting app

This is a beginner-level web development & programming app that will serve best as a mini-project topic for CSE third-year students or a final-year project for those pursuing diplomas in Computer science. The main objective of the app is to create a web-based weather application that can provide real-time weather details (like current temperature and chances of rain) of a particular location. The app can also predict if the day will be rainy, cloudy, or sunny.  

Developing a weather forecasting app is the best way to put your coding skills to the test. To create a weather forecasting app, you will need a stronghold on the basics of web development, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. For providing the best backend performance, good knowledge of Node.js and express technologies is a must. 

It is important to know how to use API calls to scoop out weather information from other websites and display relevant information in your app.  

For the app’s best User Interface, you have to place an input text box in which the users can enter the location for which weather information is needed. As soon as the search button is hit, the weather forecast for the input location should pop out. Check out this Github project for reference.

It is an interesting app that involves application designing & development, multi-thread processing, socket programming, and networking.  

Such computer science topics aim at developing a chat application to facilitate instant messaging. Users can create personal accounts in the chat app from where messages can be sent to other chat app users. Check out this Github project for reference.

• 10 Best Computer Science Projects

1. Real-Time Weather Forecasting App

Type - Application Development, Programming, Web development Expected Time to Complete - 1 to 3 days Level - Beginner

Objective(s)

• To develop a web-based weather application that provides real-time weather information of a location, such as
• Current temperature, and
• Chances of precipitation.
• Also, it tells if it is going to be a sunny, cloudy, or rainy day ahead.

Project Overview

If you do not have any prior experience working on computer science projects, it’s better to get going with a project idea that is simple and effective.

The development of a weather application, which provides weather data for a particular location, would be a great way to test your coding skills.

To develop a weather application, all you need is the basic knowledge of the trifecta of web development, i.e., HTML, CSS, and Javascript. For creating a proper back-end of the app server in JavaScript, you will have to get familiar with Node.js and Express technologies.

It would be best to learn how to use API calls to get weather data from another website (like weatherstack.com) and display selective data right inside your webapp.

For the weather application’s UI, you need to conjure an input text box where users can enter the name of a location for which they wish to check the weather. As soon as the user hits the search button - most likely to be adjacent to the text box, but you are free to get creative as per your liking - the weather forecast for the entered location should be displayed.

2. Basic Hospital Management System

Type - Application Development, Database Management, Programming Expected Time to Complete - 2 to 4 days Level - Beginner

• To develop a system that hospitals can use to digitize and manage their data, such as patient information, appointments, lab test results, patient diagnosis details, etc.

Developing a basic hospital management system is quite easy, even if you are a beginner. You can develop a functional hospital management system leveraging basic forms of HTML and CSS.

The developed system should get new data entries, store them, and let hospital officials and/or a system administrator(s) access and view data.

You need to design the hospital management system, so it automatically assigns a unique ID to each patient registered at the said hospital. Other than the patients, the system should also store information about the staff members, all in a local database.

When the database grows, it might become difficult for the hospital staff or the system administrator to find data related to a particular patient or staff member. So, it’ll be a good idea to add search functionality to make it easier to find specific details across hundreds - or even thousands - of stored records.

While you can use the local storage of the machine that runs the hospital management system, it is also possible to use a cloud database. Both have their distinct advantages over one another. You must figure them out on your own to make the project more challenging.

• The e-Authentication system can be used to add an extra layer of security for users logging into their accounts on a website or application.

For any website or application where users can create and log in to their accounts, it is essential to rule out the possibility of unauthorized access. To accomplish the same, you can develop an e-Authentication system that uses QR code and OTP to ensure secure user login.

Once a user registers or creates an account on a website/app using a set of credentials, usually the email and password, the e-Authentication System will be put into work when the same user will log into their account.

After entering the email id and password for logging in, the user will then be asked to authenticate themselves using either a QR code or an OTP.

If the user selects and proceeds with the QR authentication method, a random QR code will be generated by the e-Authentication system and sent to the user’s registered email id. On the other hand, while opting for the OTP authentication method, the user will receive an OTP code on the registered email or phone number.

The user will only be logged into their account if they complete the authentication process initiated by the e-Authentication system.
