Smart Video Networking

A software engineering project for BAE Systems by Eric Gustavson, Ron Laidley, Andre Govier


Risks:
  1. Inadequate due diligenece while choosing external source: We must find a MPEG2 encoder/decoder which is open source, efficient, and well-documented.
  2. Overly optimistic assumptions about the availablity of some techonolgy: We rely on MPEG 2 as well as LCM, and lack of documentation or functionality could cause major setbacks.
  3. Lack of visibility and regular review of Gantt chart: Although our chart is posted to this site, it is important to continually check it and rehash it to make sure we are progressing on a reasonable schedule.
  4. Lack of use of SCM system: Currently, we do not have an SCM system set up. (2/23/2010)
Mitigation:

  1. We will research MPEG2 libraries, and test them with some c code.
  2. We will research the limits of LCM and our selected MPEG2 library. We will attempt to do a few simple proof-of-concept tests.
  3. We will set up weekly reminders and meetings to give status reviews, and then check & update our Gantt chart.
  4. We will select and implement and SCM system before we start development
