15th Annual School of Science Student Research Conference

The 15th annual School of Science student research conference took place Tuesday April 19th in the Magill Commons at Monmouth University. This conference is a chance for students to display and talk about a project that he/she or the group is passionate about and worked on this past school year. The Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering was proud to have 8 presentations at this years conference. Some presentations were in groups and some were individual.

Each Department within the School of Science had one presentation chosen for the project that scored the highest in terms of problem statement, poster and presentation, and from the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering the 'FEED' team was selected.

Here is a short excerpt from the team's abstract:

"The FEED system is a web application for gathering, organizing, and displaying of interests and ideas. Although a multitude of social media outlets exist that allow users to sort and share content, the goal of this application is to give them a private place to organize their many interests and ideas. The currently available systems can be used to store and organize content, but they often limit the type of content that users can store, lack multiple options for organization, and are based on social media concepts. The FEED system will match what we feel is an area where current software falls short."
