ExtASe-RT: Extending an existing authentication system to achieve real-time communications

Many modern business processes require real-time, reliable, and scalable information processing systems. One organization that deals with these factors on a daily basis is Extendas, an Enschede based company that specializes in writing software systems for the petrol industry. Currently, the transaction data from the authorization host is sent to the other Extendas backend systems at regular intervals ranging from every thirty minutes to once a day. Our goal is to extend the current system, adding real-time functionality to the existing architecture which can run asynchronously, securely, and without lost or duplicated data.

CS: Design Project

The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
