Project Ideas
1. Multi-threaded Web Crawler: Implement a multi-threaded web crawler. The crawler should be able to remember the last URLs and able to resume. Your program should be able to create appropriate number of threads.
2. Process Manager: Identify the system and user processes. For each process provide CPU, memory, and I/O utilization. You should also tag a process as a CPU bound or I/O bound.
3. System Resource Monitor : Identify current available and utilized resources of the system e.g., CPU, memory, I/O, and bandwidth. Your program should be able to log historical system resources and capable to show resource utilization graph.
4. Repository/Directory Synchronizer: Client-server application which is capable to synchronize the local changes to a remote folder. Check drop-box functionality.
5. Task Manager (Android): Check Android Task Manager, you need to implement similar app with addition to allow user to terminate a specific process automatically. The task manager should also identify CPU utilization for each process.
6. Multi-threaded Proxy Server and Client: Develop a multi-threaded proxy server and client. The server accepts any URL from the client, fetches output, and returns to the client. The client should be able to save the output into HTML page with an appropriate name.
7. Power Consumption and Activity Monitor (Android): Develop an application which is able to identify the tasks and activities consuming battery resources. The app should be able to log the historical monitoring data and make it available for end-user to review it.
8. Android Logger: Develop an application to log all user activities in the cell phone and sync the log file to the user's Dropbox account. Read more on Dropbox app integration at https://www.dropbox.com/developers.
