Spring 2017 IT Capstone Projects
Anthem Big Data - https://sites.google.com/view/anthemcapstone2017/
Anthem Inc. is an American health insurance company founded in the 1940s, prior to 2014 known as WellPoint, Inc. It is the largest for-profit managed health care company in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. The analytics team at Anthem is investigating the building of personal (insurer) profiles for query and analysis using NoSQL systems. The student team helped build a sample solution on MongoDB.
Anthem Security - http://jmctiern.wixsite.com/anthemsec
The data management team at Anthem is investigating the big data platform Hadoop. It requires a fine grained solution to securely mask Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally identifiable Information (PII) in its Big Data/Hadoop systems. The solution should be able to protect data regardless of how the data is accessed (via tools such as HIVE/IMPALA or natively on HDFS) and provide different levels of attribute level masking and record filtering. The student team researched the potential solutions (including Protegrity) to satisfy client needs.
GTRI - https://spring-2017-it-cap.wixsite.com/elsysdrp
The Georgia Tech Research Institute Electronic Systems Laboratory (GTRI-ELSYS) is an applied research organization that provides technical solutions to a variety of sponsors and supports about 450 researchers and staff. The computer support department develops, maintains, and supports the Information Technology (IT) systems used within GTRI-ELSYS. The unit has an outdated disaster recovery plan and needed to update it. The student team surveyed current and best practices, and helped to create a new disaster recovery plan with many improvements.
WhatstheBuzz - http://itcapstonebuzz.atwebpages.com
Whatsthe.Buzz is a startup service which offers quick survey and reporting for small restaurants through a mobile app. The founder would like to add some new features to his service and improve user experience on smart phones. The student team aimed at providing multi-survey functionality and did user testing of the app.
DocWeb - https://victoriacapstone.wixsite.com/capstone2017/
DocWeb (http://docwebtrc.com), a digital marketing company located in Salem NH specializing in digital marketing programs primarily in the medical vertical, has a need to re-write and significantly improve a small web application that is designed to assist a medical office track patient compliance with HEDIS measures. The web-based software application, written using PHP 5.2 and MS-SQL Server, currently performs some of the requirements and may be used as a tool to help understand and analyze the new requirements. The team was charged to update the website especially to rebuilt the frond-end of the application.

Fall 2016 IT Capstone Projects
GTRI - http://gtriticketsystem.wixsite.com/project
The Georgia Tech Research Institute Electronic Systems Laboratory (GTRI-ELSYS) is an applied research organization that provides technical solutions to a variety of sponsors and supports about 450 researchers and staff. The computer support department develops, maintains, and supports the Information Technology (IT) systems used within GTRI-ELSYS, including servers, workstations, printers, networks, and storage devices.
The computer support department currently uses Kayako’s eSupport, version 3.70, a web application for submitting trouble tickets. The software uses PHP 5.2, MySQL 5.6, and IIS 7.5 to host the service. This version is rather outdated and Kayako has completely re-engineered their currently offered ticket software. GTRI-ELSYS would like to either get this system upgraded to the latest version Kayako provides or purchase a new system and migrate the tickets over. The team have researched and implemented four major alternatives.

MongoDB Security - https://sites.google.com/site/capstonemongo2016/
New data management systems beyond SQL (NoSQL, or Not Only SQL) have been developed to handle semi-structure and unstructured data. They also post new security challenges that may be different from RDBMS. In this project, a team of students have investigated three security issues of MongoDB, and implemented the security settings on an existing MongoDB database.
Atlanta Toolbank - https://sites.google.com/site/toolbankksu/
The Atlanta Community ToolBank, a nonprofit organization, stewards an inventory of tools for lending to charitable organizations to increase the impact of their mission-related efforts in the community. Atlanta ToolBank is in need of a member-facing and mobile friendly web app to automate the tool-lending reservation and confirmation process. The team has built a WordPress plugin (to be integrated into the organization's main website) for such a functionality. The app interacts with the Salesforce at the backend for data processing.
TAG Survey Report - http://chaneymakes.com/tagcapstone/
The Technology Association of Georgia sought proposals from qualified firms and/or Universities that were interested in preparing research data to be used to provide insight and trending information on Georgia’s technology industry. The results should be accessible by TAG through some form of digital dashboard (example: http://tagstateoftheindustry.com/2016/key-findings/key-finding-1.html). One KSU team submitted a proposal and needed to investigate and prepare a data visualization and dashboard solution. The team has researched several solutions and implemented sample solutions using Tableau.
Network Security -https://sites.google.com/site/networkattackanalysis/
Network traffics are generated while hackers apply various tools to attack computers within a network. Analyzing traffics for characteristics of various exploits provide intelligence to cyber security experts for ongoing attack patterns. In this project, students have been looking for a way to simulate exploits using Armitage tools, capture network traffics from various exploits, and provide analysis capability for detecting early symptoms.
Moodle - https://sites.google.com/site/moodlecapstone/
The Distance Learning Center provides faculty training programs for online faculty at KSU. Currently, the DLC uses D2L Brightspace to deliver its training programs. Due to its limited access, the D2L system cannot be used in the situations of new hires. Therefore, the DLC is looking for an alternative in addition to D2L to deliver its training programs. Being one of the most popular open-source learning management systems, Moodle was considered as the primary alternative. The team has investigated and built a solution based on Moodle.
