From Hydras to TACOs: Evolving the Stanford Digital Repository
Harlow, Christina ; Fahy, Erin
Stanford University Library has a robust digital library system called the Stanford Digital Repository. This repository holds a little under 500 TB of materials in preservation and online for researchers, capture of scholarly output, and digitized cultural heritage materials. These materials are managed across 90+ codebases serving a variety of functions from self-deposit web applications, to a nearly 10 year old parallel processing framework, to a digital repository assets publication mechanism leading into our Blacklight, Spotlight, and Geoblacklight applications – among other services and needs. At the core of this system is a Fedora 3 store. With Fedora 3 now end-of-lifed, and our system suffering from limited to no horizontal scalability options, we’re revisiting our system and architecture. We are writing it from the start with a goal to have data-forward, distributed microservices and some event-driven processing components. TACO, our new core management API, is the heart of this new architecture, and is currently being developed as a prototype. This talk will walk through the process of analysing our current system via a dataflows analysis; designing a new architecture for our digital library with a wide ranging set of requirements and users; prototyping a core component of our new architecture to be horizontally scalable as well as data & specification driven; then planning how to create ‘seams’ in our current system to migrate towards our new system in an evolutionary fashion instead of a turn-key migration.

Application for Searching for Fitness Buddies (iOS)
Plšek, Dominik ; Behúň, Kamil (referee) ; Herout, Adam (advisor)
Many successful projects are based on mobile applications using geographic position of the user and shared economy, mostly in transport market. These principles can be used in other fields of human life as well. As part of my thesis, I focused on applying these methods to the fitness market. A considerable part of potential customers is discouraged from exercising regularly by the fact that they do not have anyone to share these activities with. The purpose of the thesis is to create a mulitplatform mobile application Gymber which helps users searching for a partner or a trainer for running, weight-lifting or other desired fitness activity. Gymber allows users to share and respond to offers for fitness activity, displays a feed of appropriate places for these activities, informs users about places' opening hours, special events and news. The thesis also describes topics about user interface design, iOS application implementation and designing backend API for supporting other mobile platforms, too.

UGE - Import/Export
Kádek, Tibor ; Polášek, Petr (referee) ; Smrčka, Aleš (advisor)
This thesis deals with creating graphs in application UGE (Universal graphic editor) and facilities it offers for plugins programmers. Goal of the thesis is to design UGML (UGE Graph Markup Language) data format, implement plugin for importing/exporting graph, implement SVG graphic format export and export into several bitmap formats. Thesis extends particular parts of application, especially API (application program interface) and manipulating graphical representation of objects.

Information System of Scout Troop Using the Web Gallery API
Vaněk, Petr ; Burget, Radek (referee) ; Volf, Tomáš (advisor)
In this thesis is described design and realization of information system of scout troop which uses application programming interface for management of photos. The system provides users complete management of components, contributions, events and photos. There are presented selected services for the management of albums and photos which offer to use their API in their specification. Picasa Web Albums, SkyDrive and Rajče.net are these services. Design of application comprises the whole architecture of system and design of database. The thesis also contains an implementation of system with use API of chosen service and with technologies PHP, MySQL or JavaScript.

Integrating applications with Facebook Platform
Kubíková, Alena ; Kosek, Jiří (advisor) ; Hazucha, Andrej (referee)
This paper discusses the possibilities of integrating applications with Facebook Platform. Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive view on this issue, both theoretically (overview of API and tools) and practically (demonstration of the major opportunities of integration within the sample application). Due to the nature of the problem that is constantly evolving and changing, the main benefit is to describe the currently usable tools and technologies, organize the available information and supplementing it with other useful knowledge gained in the course of this work. In the first part Facebook Platform is introduced, the basic source of information (especially for new developers) summarized, as well as ethical and commercial aspects and finally the present state. The second chapter is focusing on an overview of the tools that are available to developers. The third chapter deals with specific ways of integrating, their fundamental principles and use. The sample application is then created in the last chapter, to demonstrate the basic integration capabilities and other principles that were described in the preceding text.

Android operating system
Kolín, Tomáš ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Tichý, Vladimír (referee)
In my bachelor thesis called Android operating system, I describe tools, options and special characteristics of the relatively new operating system for telephones and other portable devices, which is called Android. My thesis is divided into several parts. In the first one, I devote myself to the background of the whole Android project. In the following one, I investigate particular tools, which are developed for programmers to allow or facilitate the development for this platform. The next part, which is also the biggest one, contains actual description of specifics, options and instruments this system offers to programmers to use. In the last part, which is the practical one, I present specifics described earlier using sample application.
