Show moreThe main problem the IPRO addressed was that of insider misuse. Contrary to popular belief, the largest threat facing companies on a technology level is not intrusion, but rather insider misuse. Insider misuse is a relatively new area of research in the field of Computer Science, which is one of the reasons it’s a relatively unheard of problem. In addition to that, due to intense media bias towards intrusion, people are blissfully unaware of the problem of insider misuse. Ethically, it’s an interesting problem. Companies already closely monitor user activity, but any infringement on perceived privacy in the workplace generally sends everyone flustering left and right. The IPRO had to personally evaluate if we felt the necessary invasion of privacy was worth the overall result which is a more secure and profitable business. Companies can decide which approach they would like to take, but it’s hard to believe that a company would choose one that wouldn’t help to prevent a loss of money.

Show moreLast semester we built a prototype mediator which takes a user query and poses it to a variety of different data sources. In the worst case, it is as good as existing metasearch engines. Example query: “What are the three best restaraunts in Chicago?” Metasearch would search for the word “three” Mediator would identify appropriate sources to answer the question, such as a database of restaurant information.

Show moreThe Intranet Mediator was developed by previous members of IPRO 311 along with the IIT IR lab. Until this semester the Mediator was held together by “chewing gum” and fell apart every fifteen seconds. It was our ultimate goal to tear down the Mediator and completely rebuild it. We did this to stabilize and increase efficiency of the Mediator

Show moreDr. Ophir Frieder and Dr. David Grossman have completed a draft manuscript for an introductory book on Computer Science. The impulse behind this book is dissatisfaction with the way introductory computer science is currently taught. To our knowledge, there has yet to exist a text that focuses on semantic and algorithmic issues, rather than purely syntactical. Most students get bogged down by the intricacies of the programming language itself, which hinders their problem solving development. This book, in contrast to its many predecessors, will use the Ruby programming language. The language offers some good pedagogical aspects and this is couple with the fact that it is also becoming extremely popular in industry (e.g. 37Signals, as featured in BusinessWeek). By using Ruby, the team aims to aid students in learning semantic and algorithmic issues rather than the syntactical problems they face when learning other languages such as C++ and Java. In Fall 2007, the IPRO developed problem sets with solutions for the book, improved its examples, and developed sidebars. This semester, the IPRO will focus on testing the book with students new to computer science
