Seabase II Case Study

Seabase II Overview

The Seabase II project was a continuation of or in some ways a second attempt at the Seabase I work, where three teams from different departments were supposed to be coordinating to build hardware and software related to a model platform mounted crane on a ship and its controller. The team from the Computer Science department was responsible for the software that helps counter balance the crane's motion with respect to the wave motion that the ship experiences.

The story so far is that the Seabase I Computer Science team has established that they will need to port existing C code for a similar controller to Matlab extensively, with possibly having to write some Matlab code as well. It was established in Seabase I that the work of porting the code would not be completed in the assigned semester and would have to roll over to the next semester with at least one member of the exiting team continuing on to be a member of the new team, as part of Seabase II.
