Project name: Swahili

Domain: Data processing and displaying

Description: Swahili is a web-based application designed for quick viewing of computer magnetic tapes which are (or were) used in scientific and technological organizations for storing large volumes of information: scientific data, special photos, etc. Swahili was developed by a US public company in cooperation with Acceptic Ltd to support the public company's institutional clients.

Project aims:

• Provide access to archived legacy and modern scientific data written on magnetic tapes.

Functionality:

• A web-based interface for remote access to stored data
• Complex "on-the-fly" calculations to display data in the required format
• Gamma correction for photo files
• Analog data noise reduction
• Processing of extra-large data files (hundreds of Gigabytes in size)
• Encoding conversion (EBCDIC to ASCII, 6-bit to ASCII, etc.)

Magnetic tape formats supported:

• Seg-Y, Seg-D, UKOOA (The Society of Exploration Geophysicists formats)
• HRIR, THRIR, MRIR (High Resolution Infrared Radiometer and Medium Resolution Infrared Radiometer formats)
• ITS1, ITS2 (Incompatible Timesharing System format)
• LIS
• Unix dumps
• TAR archives

Achieved results:

• Swahili is widely used by a number of US institutional organizations.

Technologies and development frameworks:

• Programming language - C++
• STL, Boost
• CGI
• MySQL
• KDevelop
• Linux

Acceptic team carried out the following phases of the project lifecycle:

• Requirements analysis (partly)
• User interface design (partly)
• Application development and testing
• User documentation writing

The Acceptic team successfully reached the final milestone within the schedule.

More examples of software and Web development projects completed by Acceptic:

• Parallel C++ programming and legacy application porting (Qt 4)
• Network data sharing application (C++ development)
• Local social network (GeoIP, Google Maps)
• CRM for fitness clubs (.Net)
