Group Diary 17

Title: CSCI321 Project Group Meeting 17
Time: Friday, September 6th, 2013 13:30
Location: Building 3 & UOW Library
Attendees: Hong Wi Yew, Guanqiao Huang, Xing Pan, Qing Ren
Recorder: Hong Wi Yew

Objective:
1. Finalize requirement specification
2. User interfaces pre-design phase

Finalizing requirement specification
In this discussion, we arranged our requirement specification and changed some detail of the requirement specification. We look further into file/data set handling for our program for better resource management. For efficiency, we decided to store only the seeds for random generate and only generating it when needed, then remove it when it is not in use. We are still deciding on because of processing power. If we decide to random generate when it is needed, it might save memory spaces, but how much will it cost on processing.Other than that, we look into parallel processing for a better calculation process and analysis process, but we have yet finalize it.

User interfaces pre-design phase
We designed a few pattern for educational use, Some of the user interfaces are suitable for beginner use, but there is a lot of restriction such as number of hash function to be analyzed and we consider to disable user to test their own hash function. As for this case, we will provide a few sample of hash function for user to analyze and study about hash functions.

We also did some review on suggestion that our supervisor gave, such as changing and adding the functional and non functional detail.
