SIUE's Dining Services currently has a twelve-year-old spreadsheet-based system that is used to assist with the above-mentioned coordination, but the system has fallen into disrepair.It is the goal of this project, appelled ChowPower, to provide Dining Services and their clients with the benefits of a replacement system.

The Production Assistants have been given the task of re-engineering the production system for the SIUE theater department. The current system uses paper forms and Excel spreadsheets to track elements, construction procedures, materials, accounting and budgeting information. The process of inputting and organizing data in this system is tedious and time-consuming. We will replace this paper system with a fully online system, redesigning forms and reports to make them much easier and quicker to use, and allowing for easier archival and lookup of closed production elements.

At the request of Steve Klein, a computer science instructor at SIU-E, we are developing an application, which allows instructors to easily submit programming assignments and send them to Berkeley to be analyzed by the MOSS system. We will also be formatting the statistical information, which is returned to the instructor by MOSS.
