Some of Dailey’s current research interests

a) Someone should take this project and put it on its feet properly:

http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/Draw018.html

It would be a great project that would teach deeper aspects of javascript, event handling and DOM together with SVG. A couple of similar projects have been undertaken, but this is about as far along as any. The folks at Wikipedia seem to be interested in something like this (particularly if it runs in IE too) and the project I was involved with at Harvard was as well.

b) organizing all the 1000 or so pages under the umbrella of http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/

You'd be asked to redesign the site so it flows better, find and collect similar things, emphasize the stuff that works across browsers, fix the stuff that doesn't etc. etc.

c) coding up the algorithm (into javascript) presented by Dr. Whitfield and me for drawing random graphs.

see http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/polygons.html 

and http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1414592

d) moving ahead and into new directions with public domain imagery possibly involving Dr. Livingston in Geography and Phil Tramdack in library.

Look at http://www.google.com/search?q=sru.edu

At http://marble.sru.edu/~ddailey/plantdominos.html

At http://marble.sru.edu/~ddailey/Geography/second.php

And think of using the textual cues in the plant data for example to hypertextually extrapolate inter-image distances such as is done in the “relatives” rectangle of

http://marble.sru.edu/~ddailey/cgi/hyphens?wild

Involvement could be anything from javascript, to algorithms development (rectangular tessellation), to server side code to simple scanning of lots of images. Knowledge of Japanese might be a plus.

e) helping take grapher http://granite.sru.edu/dailey09/grapher.html into the next phase of research on navigation (gravity in graphs) http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/gravity.html

f) working on string similarity metrics w Drs. Gocal and Whitfield and me.

g) moving all my links from marble to granite and testing them

h)  fast exponentiation of integers using Dailey numeric notation

see http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/fibos/outline.htm

i)  condensations of numeric fields of irrationals http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/javascript/exponents.html and http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/math.htm

j)  psychophysical studies of equidistant objects http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/EquidistantStimuli.html

k) building a gestural language for mobile devices that is more efficient than typing

l) Build an SRU campus map in SVG -- ultimately make it into an interactive kiosk like this:

World's busiest pedestrian intersection (Shibuya station Tokyo)
