Enterprise software class project ideas

Its the time during the semester again - my SJSU students looking for project ideas. Here are some..

  1. Lucky lotto number - building an app which analyze all past lotto winning numbers and come up on pattern such as:  occurrences of particular numbers more than others, correlation of numbers, repetition of numbers. This involves statistical analysis and creating mathematical model. You can grab 14 year winning numbers from http://www.calottery.com/sitecore/content/Miscellaneous/download-numbers/?GameName=superlotto-plus Think, and imagine what you could do with this..
  2. Customer support and ticketing app - simple cloud based hosted service which can be embedded via any java script pages. This app allows SaaS user a) asking questions, b) searching knowledge based, finding answers and c) reporting problems. There will be an admin console view where assigned customer support staff would manage their ticket, provide answers and gather feedback. Take a look at http://www.parature.com/ or https://www.uservoice.com/  Talk to me about design before you proceed on this. 
  3. OnPremise Data movement to Object storage Swift - httpUpload is very slow for moving data to web based storage. Develop a simple app that prompts for user's onpremise data file and moves to object storage  like openstack swift fast. I mean really fast .. explore using libcurl with keystone.. some resources here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/keystone/api_curl_examples.html Talk to me for design before you proceed. 
  4. more coming...
