Web Applications

Today's Web sites must be dynamic and engaging. Off-the-shelf software does not always meet your particular needs. We can custom-build dynamic Web applications to your specifications.

Database Applications

Databases must be expandable and responsive in demanding environments. We can design databases tuned to your particular needs, whether that database will be used on the desktop, portable wireless devices, the local area network, or the Internet.

Scientific Applications

You may have an occasional need for custom software to solve mathematical or scientific problems. Yet you do not have enough work to hire a permanent specialist. We can build your software--from mathematical modeling to scientific visualization--in a variety of general purpose or specialized languages.

We develop Web-based programming in Java, Javascript, Perl, Active Server Pages, and ActiveX. We support C, C++, and Visual Basic for desktop and client/server applications. We develop scientific software in these languages plus Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, and Fortran.

Software Development Center

Pennsylvania Transfer System (PATS)
Client: Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (SSHE).
A Web-enabled system for tracking course transfers between SSHE universities and Pennsylvania community colleges.

Eyes on the Prize:
Client: EyesOnThePrize.org.
The Center developed software components for this Web-based gynecological cancer support community, including an electronic postcard system and a glossary system that automatically links glossary terms to their definitions throughout the Web site. The "Ask the Pros" question and answer database allows visitors to submit questions that non-technical editors can answer and schedule to be automatically posted to the web at specific times. Answers are archived to provide continuing reference content for the site.

Link-to-Learn I-Grad Grant Program FAQ and Review Systems
Client: Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Visitors to this Web site can fill out a form to submit questions to the grant program administrators. The administrators are notified by email when questions are submitted. The administrative menu allows the Department of Education to modify questions; to answer questions privately, which sends email messages to the submitters; to answer questions publicly, which adds the question and answer to the FAQ list; and to delete questions. The Center also developed an on-line review system for this grant program and another Link-to-Learn program. The system allows reviewers to retrieve the scoring criteria, submit their reviews, and view the status of their reviews. Once all reviews are completed, the grant program administrators can view a ranked list of proposals, normalized to account for the variation among reviewers' scores.

Center personnel's past work

Event Registration Program:
Client: Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Department of Education personnel use Web forms to create Web sites for events. This program generates information pages for the events, registration forms, waiting lists, and registrant lists. The registration information is completely configurable.

Indiana Area Network:
Client: Indiana County Technology Consortium.
This entire Web site is generated by server-side programs. Non-technical volunteers can maintain the site using on-line forms.

VRMLConvert:
Client: Freeware.
This Mathematica program converts Mathematica's three-dimensional graphics to Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) format. VRML is an interactive three-dimensional environment for the Web.
