With PingER going back over a decade, its presentation tools tend to be a bit jaded having in some cases been developed in the 90's. New, modern ways to access display and navigate the data would be a big plus. We propose two projects below. If these are of interest, Bebo and Les are willing to work with students who come to SLAC and remotely with studentsin India. Both of these areas have great potential for papers within the conference communities with which Bebo is directly involved.
- Creative visualization of PingER data including rich interaction.
- Publication of PingER data in a database queryable format. This is a follow on to the PingER Warehouse project of Thiago. Besides providing user access tools via the web, it will also require  automated synchronizing the new Hadoop based warehouse with the currently text based file system.
Skills: HDFS, perl or python, RESTful interfaces, databases
Mentors:
Les, Bebo. Thiago, Maria
