Dr. Pramod Pathak
The annual School of Computing Project Showcase at National College of Ireland
is a highlight of our year that recognises and celebrates the work of our final year
computing students and marks the transition from their undergraduate degrees
to their professional careers. This year we are delighted to announce European
CTO Workday, Annrai O’Toole as our keynote speaker.
As you will see, the student’s projects have been developed using various
prevailing technologies and tools, specialising in different domains. We believe
that a number of projects present not only commercial potential, but also the
best calling card for our students. NCI has often encouraged commercially
focused endeavours with the help of venture capitalists, industrial partners, and
Enterprise Ireland. Such partnerships continue to provide invaluable, real-world
learning experiences and enrich our curricula.
To the students, congratulations and well done! It is a tough journey that you
commenced four years ago, but you have shown commitment and persistence.
With your success, you now have the opportunity to choose a number of
paths – a career in the ICT industry, create your own product/company or
continue with a postgraduate qualification. Whatever avenue you choose to
take, one thing that will be common: you will always remember these years
and the friendships you have made.
We are delighted to invite guests from industry to come and meet our students
on the 29th May, to view and discuss the various projects on display and to take
the opportunity to scout out the talent that exists within the student body in NCI.
The staff and students look forward to meeting you and sharing these projects
with you.
We look forward to welcoming you to National College of Ireland.

Toscaire is a global employee monitoring product with a difference. Toscaire
shows the employee what they are doing and how they are being perceived
within an organization. The computer background screen displays the
employee’s engagement and productivity statistics in real-time, highlighting
the current activity against the organizations acceptable usage policy. Toscaire
uses Systemic Functional Linguistics to evaluate and categorize communication
according to the semantic undertone of the message, for example, bullying,
aggression and harassment. We believe that if an employee understands how
they are being perceived within an organization, this will help productivity and
move towards a progressive HR model.

The main objective of my project is to provide a
service that encourages the identification of
potential system errors, human errors or problems before they reach the user to
which they could cause harm. The program recognizes staff for identifying“good
catches”and is designed to share key finding across the organization.
The“Good Catch”program will:
• Further strengthen the culture of quality and safety
• Allow staff to be recognized for their contributions
• Continue to build staff confidence in the quality improvement processes
through a non-punitive environment, and taking action to address the
issues and concerns
Good Catch will be implemented in an effort to increase reporting, continue to
enhance the culture of safety and provide the workplace with the opportunity
to proactively identify and implement risk reduction strategies in areas that
could cause harm to staff. The program endeavours to build an environment
that fosters safety reporting with the intent to prevent system breakdowns
before they occur - ultimately reducing the overall number of incidents,
problems and adverse events.

Project Description:
The project revolves around the significance
of brisk access using your technology gadgets.
With advancements we are now using portable technology and
gadgets like smartphones. The idea is to facilitate students with a
mobile app for their Android smartphones which will make their
college life easier.
This mobile app will allow college students to access all the college
notes, papers, important lectures, internship details, record lecturers,
make new friends using the built in messaging system and much
more anytime by just using their smartphone. The idea is to readily
access everything and to have it in their hands by using their phones.
At times students forget important dates such as exams or
assignment submissions. This app can facilitate them by working as
a reminder. The notifications will help them in getting all the relevant
updates and they won’t miss any such dates.
This app will be used by students of National College of Ireland
and potential applicants. They can give their feedback and
recommendations and moreover can improve this app in the testing
phase.

Passengers without the correct fare on Dublin Bus are given a refund ticket. The
Rapid Refund Mobile App will replace the need for a customer to bring their
refund ticket to Dublin Bus headquarters. Instead they will be able to input
the unique number found on the receipt into the Rapid Refund app, instantly
adding the amount to a nominated leapcard. This will act as an incentive for
customers to use the Leapcard, making it a viable business opportunity for
Dublin Bus whilst also improving customer satisfaction as evident from my
research.

The Grafton Medical History App, created for
Grafton Medical Practice in Dublin by Johann
Taljaard, makes it simple to keep track of medical records,
medications and procedures from the convenience of a
smartphone.
All information is kept on the mobile phone for easy access.
The app is the first of its kind in Ireland and has already been
downloaded over 400 times within the first month of release in
Google Play and iTunes stores. Reading and utilising the app is a
snap. Once a user chooses information they would like to read,
they simply press to expand the information. The application
works best when accessed in a 4G or WiFi setting but will also
work without.
