Group 1 developed
a Business-to-Business E-Commerce system called
IPE Quest. The system provides institutional
investors from around the globe with a forum to solicit financial
services from asset managers. Key to the success of this system is
the security and anonymity of these interactions. IPE-Quest
runs on Dell PowerEdge 6300 servers in a clustered environment running
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The system utilizes Active
Server Pages (ASP) technology processed through Microsoft's Internet
Information Server 5.0. Furthermore, IPE Quest uses Microsoft SQL
Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 to support its database operations.

Group 2 developed
an online document management system for the Metropolitan D.C. Police
Department. Targeted to serve police officers, police administration, and

with SQL Server 7.0 database, which runs on Windows 2000 with Internet
Information Server 4.0 as its web server. Extensible Markup Language (XML)
supports searching and parsing capabilities. The network employs a FDDI
backbone with Black Box LRAPRSRA proxy servers/firewalls stationed at the
perimeter of the network. Police officers in the field access the system
using Datalux Tracer 2000 "touch screen" notebooks with
supporting wireless Ricochet SE modems.
