The Client

A tool, using methods of Dynamic Time Warping to identify and classify time-series data, was produced in this software project, meeting the requirements of VTT Electronics. Prospective users for this tool consist primarily of research personnel getting familiar with the methods in question. An essential motive was to produce a basic facility for using these methods in research projects - another tool in the box.

The project flowed smoothly with no major exceptions from the plans. Project group was successful in the internal sharing of tasks and scheduling and produced a tool that met the requirements and specifications agreed. Course assistant participated actively in the reviews and thus influenced positively in the quality of the product.

This experience encourages to consider another similar, very focused down algorithm to be implemented in the scope of this course. One has to remember that one of the key elements of success is that the client knows exactly what he or she wants and knows the method in and out. There is no room for pondering the method's details in a tight and principally an educational course of software engineering, such as this.

Also the client learns new things in a setting like this.
