VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT SYSTEMS ::

We have designed and developed an online registration system for volleyball tournaments. Clubs, teams, players, and staff can register for tournaments and hotel rooms online. This data is then downloaded into a web-enabled application. The tournament director then schedules tournament matches. During the tournament, the tournament staff enter results into this application. The results are gathered, and teams are advanced through the tournament. Current schedules are posted on 40" plasma monitors throughout the tournament so that teams can determine what court they are on. Additionally, college scouts can download the results into their Palm Pilots to determine where prospects are playing.

This application is a great example of our ability to architect a diverse solution that both solves our client's needs and does so in an affordable manner. The online registration piece is written in ASP with a Visual Basic backend. The tournament scheduler is a complex web-enabled client/server application that downloads its data from the web-server. It then publishes its data to an intranet server that is used by the plasma monitors.

This system was developed with ASP, Visual Basic, and Visual C++ using an online Enterprise SQL Server database, and an offline Access .MDB database. It utilizes both COM and COM+ components, and contains an internet web site, a web-enabled client-server application, a Palm-based application, and an Intranet website.

 
FARM MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ::

We have designed and developed a farm management system. This client/server system allows our clients to manage their farm animals. It allows them to track their animals' medical history, breedings, awards, and other information related to the farm such as veterinary bills and contacts at other farms.

This system is a cutting-edge application and is written with C#, .NET Forms, and Crystal Report, and ADO.NET.

 
WEATHER DISPLAY SYSTEMS ::

We have designed and developed a remote weather data collection system used by the Federal Government. This system connects to weather systems using a satellite link, collects and then parses the data. The data is then stored to a local database, and then output to a COM port and an x.25 port on the server computer. The application also allows the user view the data as it comes into the server.

We have also architected and developed a weather display system. The display system allows the user to create custom graphical pages that dynamically display current and past weather data. These pages can contain custom text, graphics, graphs, and tables. The ages can be scripted using Python to allow them to contain custom logic. The system gathers weather data and performs calculations. Since over 1000 weather values may be collected every minute, it contains an advanced operation server to dynamically calculate minimums, maximums, averages, and frequency distributions without querying the database.

We also created online weather display system. This system allows web-site designers to insert real-time data into web pages for use by the general public. This system utilizes custom tag libraries to allow seamless integration into existing web sites. To display graphs, we developed a custom graphing servlet to serve graphs as either GIFs or JPEP images.

We developed a telephony application that allows citizens to dial into a weather station and hear current weather conditions. Technicians can dial in with a modem and remotely monitor the weather station.

These high-performance weather applications are written using Java, J2EE, Swing, TCP & UDP Sockets, JSP, XML, Java2D, JDBC, the COMM API, .X25 API, C++, and many other technologies.

 
ONLINE COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ::

Interactive Consulting Services lead the development of this real-time Internet application. The application is browser-based and allows teachers and students to review lessons and annotate on top of them. All annotations are streamed across the internet in real time. The environment also includes a VOIP (Voice Over IP) server that allows teachers and students to communicate verbally.

This system was developed using Java, Swing, the Java Plug-In, and TCP sockets to establish real-time interaction over the Internet.

 
ONLINE SHIPPING SOFTWARE ::

Interactive Consulting Services provided consulting services to this state-of-the-art shipping software. ICS created many custom controls and implemented a custom tab order system. This system allows customers to dynamically change their tab order at any time. ICS also optimized the shipping system's label printing, a core feature to the product. ICS created a custom web site to allow the client to track all code inspection results. Most importantly, ICS provided expertise for platform and system issues, printing, GDI, and other technological issues.

This system is written in Visual C++ using the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC).

 
MEDICAL SOFTWARE ::

Interactive Consulting Services created new features for a major Dental Management software package. ICS created many custom controls including a state-of-the-art grid control that allowed the other developers to insert custom grid objects. ICS used this grid control to rewrite the product's appointment scheduler. The appointment scheduler was very old and antiquated, and the new scheduler was not only faster with more features, but it allowed users to completely configure its look and feel. ICS also implemented a feature modeled after Microsoft's Office Assistant. This feature was used throughout the program to provide context-sensitive help, as well as to improve the user interface. ICS created a system that allowed users to create custom reports and export them to Microsoft Excel using Automation technology. ICS implemented a data-driven dialog system that would dynamically attach to any dialog resource,display it, and bind the values in the controls to the underlying database. ICS also implemented a database caching scheme which decreased the products query times by as much as 60%.

This application is written using Visual C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Classes with a CTree database backend.

 
COMPUTER GAMES ::

Interactive Consulting Services lead the development of ABC's Monday Night Football. ICS was responsible for the game play and artificial intelligence. ICS designed the overall look and feel of the 3D engine, and optimized the 3D engine to render more polygons faster with larger players. ICS also developed the game's multiplayer features including modem, network, and Internet play. ICS created an open-ended playbook that allows gamers the flexibility of creating plays in real time during game play.

This application was written with Microsoft Visual C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) and used the DirectX (Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and DirectInput) libraries.
