Results of the iOS Praktikum SS 2013
(Stephan Krusche, Martin Wagner and Bernd Bruegge, July 2013)
Results of other years
Goal
This studio course covers the development of mobile applications for smart devices, ranging from standalone applications, embedded systems including hardware and sensors to the design of modern interfaces for complex business applications. Students learn and apply software engineering and usability engineering techniques. This includes object oriented modeling and system design as well as the realization of graphical user interfaces, usability testing, continuous integration and continuous delivery. Real industrial partners provided the problem statements and acted as clients. Ten companies participated in the iOS Praktikum 2013, each with a different problem statement and its own development team. More than 100 students developed these applications using agile techniques and communicating continuously with their clients.
Project Overview
The following companies participated in the iOS Praktikum 2013. Below we show details about the projects including videos of the final presentations and demos. The videos were recorded with Boinx TV. We would like to thank the Boinx TV company for supporting us with the recording.

Siemens Real Estate Room Advisor (SIERRA) is a collection of three apps supporting real estate agents and facility managers. The SIERRA Collect app allows facility managers to collect sensor information such as WiFi strengths, temperature and light in rooms and buildings and store this information in a building database. The SIERRA Office app provides the real estate agent with the possibility to design and configure rooms with furniture and it equipment in 3D. The real estate agent can then use the SIERRA Tour app to navigate and explore these rooms remotely in a virtual 3D tour. Participating students: Roman Tihonov (Coach), Matthias Schwab (Coach), Andrea Catalucci, Muhammad El-Halaby, Marco Esposito, Christian Flasche, Rene Milzarek, Dennis Mund, Andreas Seitz, Nazmus Shaon, Iurie Tap, Haomiao Zhai, Xue Meng, Natalia Zarawska, Asish Kumar Biswas Customer: |

The planning process of Point of Sales (PoS) places within large retail stores can be very hard if it is done by paper. The Point of Sale Designer app was developed to help PoS consultants and store managers to create beautiful sales solutions in 3D on the iPad. Once the final PoS is determined, the components can be ordered on the iPad by communicating with the back office. Participating students: Customer: |

“Bikes” is an iPhone application, which manages everything concerning the reservation of electric bikes, often called "Pedelecs", for the company employees of NTT Data. The employee can search for the nearest available Pedelec and reserve it. If all Pedelecs in a certain stations are already reserved, the employee can be ask others if they voluntarily pass their reservation to them. This request can be either done by a phone call or a text message. Furthermore employees can check the battery status of the bikes and determine the range of the Pedelec. Participating students: Michael Unruh (NTT Data), Frank von Eitzen (NTT Data) |

FTI MyWay is an app that provides travel information about a planned vacation such as flights, hotel, rental car and touristic attractions by taking the role of a travel guide. Before starting the trip, the user specifies their interests so that a travel package can be produced by FTI and sent to the user. During the vacation FTI MyWay shows interesting points of interests and provides insider tips based on the profile and the location of the user. After the trip, users can provide feedback based on their experiences. Team members: |

Audiscovery gives Audi-drivers the experience to discover a city in a challenging way. The app allows the user to get to know the city by navigating to more than 10.000 points of interests. Audiscovery shows the driver how many places have been visited and what regions still have to be explored. Drivers get points for places they have visited and can recommend these places to their friends. Participating students: Customer: |

Helilog is an iPad application for helicopter pilots in rescue missions. It supports them in their documentation tasks by using context information to minimize user interaction when filling the required reports. The app can associate and authenticate aircrafts and air crews via QR codes. It reports observed defects automatically by documenting and synchronizing them observed with the backend system. Air crews can fill out required flight documentation (e.g. takeoff or landing position) with minimal user input and receive and display dispatches containing accident information. The app also supports remote maintenance sessions when remote technicians support the air crew by using images and videos. Participating students: Customer: |
