Gregor Janez Grajzar, Development of NSP restaurant reservation platform, thesis (October 2023)

Mentor: prof. dr. Srđan Škrbić, higher professional study programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

In this thesis we present the broader process of mobile app development through the eyes of a continuous development cycle. The thesis touches upon contemporary research steps at the beginning of the process, such as discovering the opportunity and gaps in the needs of potential users, designing the MVP and prototyping, and continues in the technical part with technical considerations, building the data model, and creating the server and mobile application. The final solution consists of a server application using design patterns in an object-oriented PHP environment, to which the React Native mobile application connects. An external user authentication service Firebase auth is involved in the process. We present a modern way of developing server-side applications using the MVC model and request routing.

Mobile game development in the Unity development environment, Gregor Vrtič, thesis (September 2023)

Mentor: pred. Peter Zupančič, M.Sc. Inf, higher professional study programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

Creating an independent video game with limited resources, or an “indie game”, requires a very wide range of skills to be brought together. When it is a programmer’s first project, the challenge is where to start, which software to use and how to combine the different elements into a coherent whole. The aim is to complete and implement the project at no cost and in user-friendly programming environments where the work and instructions are not complex. In order to achieve this goal, this thesis will use well-known free tools, which will be used according to the instructions given in the literature. We will embark on an independent journey as an “Indie game” developer and create a video game for an operating system of our choice.

Developing procedural generation in the Unity environment, Aljaž Blatnik, Master’s thesis (July 2023)

Mentor: prof. dr. Blaž Rodič, Master’s degree programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

In this thesis, we describe and develop procedural generation in the Unity development environment. In the first part of the thesis, we explore the history of procedural generation development and then compare three current games that use procedural generation, but differ in the extent to which they use procedural generation. We then compare each of the current games with each other and also with approximations that do not include procedural generation. In the last part of the theoretical part, we describe the tools used to develop procedural generation in-house. Finally, we present two procedural generation systems that we develop ourselves. The first approach uses a random walk algorithm, while the second approach uses Perlin noise as a basis. We describe both the operation of each procedural generation system and the programming code, and then present our own findings.

Janez Bučar, Development of a Mobile Application for Testing Primary School Students, thesis (June 2023)

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pavle Boškoski, Higher Professional Study Programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

In my thesis, I present a solution for group assessment in the field and for encouraging students to solve mathematical or other tasks. Teachers can use stations in interesting locations with any topic, together with tasks for that station. The tasks are thematically linked to the location and children can access them via a mobile app on their smartphones. The tasks will have three difficulty levels and will only be unlocked when children reach a certain distance from the station. The solutions will be stored in a local database on the device and the results will be visible on a special screen with an overview of all the results, allowing teachers to quickly and easily review the results at the end of the excursion. The application will be built in the Android Studio programming environment using the MVVM model and the ROOM library for ORM.

This is followed by an overview of the web technologies we have chosen. We describe their advantages, which are also the reasons why we chose them. We also present the way in which we have ensured user security and a simple yet effective user experience. In the empirical part, we describe the structure of the database and then follow the development and describe the functioning of the user and administrator applications. We present the main pages and their functionalities. We also show the code snippets that make the individual components work. We use pictures to show the appearance of the user interface and the adapted layout of the elements according to the size of the screen.

David Mužar, Development of a web and mobile application queue with the react native tool for the company Physiotherapy Mužar, thesis (July 2022)

Mentor: Peter Zupančič, M.Sc. in Social Sciences, higher professional study programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

The application, which we have developed within the scope of the thesis, is designed to facilitate the organisation, registration and review of the queue of patients of Physiotherapy Mužar, and also allows the employee to work with less disruption, because the patient can register for therapy via the application instead of a phone call or a visit to the premises of Physiotherapy Mužar physiotherapy. Above all, the aim of the thesis is to make it easier to keep track of the queue and to inform patients when they are due, as this takes a lot of time. The app makes it easy to book a therapy appointment without unnecessary physical contact with the worker. It allows to see the date ordered and also informs the patient when he/she is coming to the queue, which helps to protect the health of all involved in the ordering process at these times (covid-19). It is also important that the app is fast, cheap to maintain and as easy to use as possible, as we have a lot of patients who are over 50 and less skilled in using mobile devices and computers.

Rene Verbanec, Development of a prototype application for monitoring football matches through user experience design, Master’s thesis (September 2022)

Jan Turk, Developing a User Portal for an Energy Supplier in Microservices Architecture, Master’s thesis (April 2022)

Mentor: assoc. prof. dr. Borut Lužar, Master’s degree programme Informatics in Contemporary Society

Microservices architecture is one approach that can be used to develop an application or software solution. In this approach, applications are built on the basis of small self-contained partitions (microservices). In this way, the work of the development team can be more easily divided within the organisation, and the microservices developed can be used as building blocks in future projects. In my master thesis I introduced the concept of microservices and described the process of developing a user portal developed according to this architectural principle. The user portal provides users with a single sign-on system and, once logged in, allows them to activate an energy supply contract, through which they get an overview of their consumption, costs, orders and other data related to their metering points and contractual relationships.

The thesis presents the development of a web application for the needs of the company Pošta Slovenije, or more precisely for the needs of the Post Office of Slovenia in Metlika. The web application has several main objectives. The first objective is to facilitate the work of postal workers by providing information on the location of parcels in the warehouse of the branch, thus reducing the time interval for parcel delivery and consequently increasing the number of customers. The second objective is to record the number of parcels by means of a graphical display, which is aimed primarily at the manager of the business unit. This thesis describes the software tools and web technologies used to develop the web application, gives an overview of the development of the application and demonstrates the final product and its performance.

Nejc Razdrih, Design of an interactive prototype of the mobile application “Go Instruction”, thesis (July 2021)

Mentor: dr. Janez Kolar, higher professional study programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

When a company offers a service through a website, users quickly get used to the look and feel of the website. It is crucial that we transfer all the features that users have come to rely on to the mobile app when they move their business to the mobile app. These include the overall graphic image of the company or the look of the existing website and, on the other hand, the look of the mobile app that is being developed. Visibility and recognition of the company are among the essential features. Loyal users are used to a certain user interface which, when comparing a website and a mobile app, is quite different. The user interface should be user-friendly, making the mobile app easier to use and the user’s end goal easy to reach. In this thesis, we will put the theory of integrated graphic design, user interfaces and user experience into practice and combine the findings from these areas into a final product – an interactive prototype of a mobile application.

Aljaž Blatnik, Game development in the Unity environment, thesis (June 2021)

Mentor: assoc. prof. dr. Borut Lužar, higher professional study programme Informatics in Contemporary Society

Technology allows us to work from home, shop online and socialise with friends on social networks. There is a trend towards more and more of our daily activities being done from home. However, as excessive isolation can be harmful, the aim of this thesis is to develop a programme that encourages users to be active outside the home. We will create an eHerbarium application that will present a herbarium in a modern, digital format. Users will be able to try to complete their herbarium with local flowers, while at the same time familiarising themselves with them. In the theoretical part of the thesis, a comparison of our solution with existing ones will be made. The design of the application will also be presented, together with all the technologies and tools that have been used in the development of the application.

Jeram Žika, Web application illustrating UDP and TCP communication, thesis (September 2020)

Mentor: doc. dr. Panče Panov, higher professional study programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

There are several different ways to understand and explain how transport layer protocols work in computer networks. Descriptions of the protocols are available in a variety of technical literature and there are many sites on the web that address the topic in different ways. In this thesis, I will present a web application that illustrates the operation of UDP and TCP protocols and can also be used for teaching purposes. In the first part of the thesis, I first summarise the development of reference models of computer networks and describe the transport layer, and then I present the detailed operation of both protocols. The second part of the thesis contains the development and testing of the web application, and a short user manual is produced to facilitate the use of the application itself.

Čurk Dejan, Development of a web application for monitoring statistics and displaying graphics in live streaming of sport events, thesis (July 2020)

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Borut Lužar, Higher Professional Study Programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

The aim of the thesis is to investigate and find the best option for displaying the current data of a sports match with the help of software during a live broadcast of our school’s production team. After reviewing existing solutions, we found that there was no suitable option for our needs, so we decided to develop our own web application. After researching development tools and technologies, we started parsing the sequential data stream. We converted the data into usable chunks and used them to display graphics that contained the most important information in the stream for the viewers of the basketball game. In this way, we were able to enrich the broadcast for our viewers and increase its quality. Once we had solved all the technical issues of the development, we had to design the user interface of the web application, allowing the operators to have an efficient overview of all aspects of the basketball match and to quickly switch on the display of the graphics in the broadcast. The web application has been very well received by the multimedia team, as it allows them to work better and more efficiently with fewer errors. We have met all the objectives set.

Eržen Nejc, Development of an App for Accommodation and Destination Overview, thesis (July 2020)

Mentor: asst. Peter Zupančič, higher professional study programme Informatics in Modern Society

Nowadays, many web applications have been developed and we have all used them, or still use them, to check the destinations and accommodation we want to visit. However, over the years of updating, they have become overloaded with textual content, animations and videos. Accordingly, this thesis is dedicated to the development of a web application for the overview of accommodation and destinations. The aim of the thesis is thus to be transparent, responsive and user-friendly. The theoretical part of the thesis briefly presents the history and development of the Internet and the tools and technologies used for its development, while the empirical part presents the web application both pictorially and descriptively and how it is actually used.

Piletič Uroš, Development of a home control and management system, Master’s thesis (June 2020)

Mentor: assoc. prof. dr. Borut Lužar, Master’s degree programme Informatics in Contemporary Society

Rapid technological development and the interconnectedness of the physical and digital worlds are shaping our everyday lives and, above all, the environment in which we live. The impact of the above is rapidly being incorporated into our homes, where it is manifested in the automation of everyday tasks, with the emphasis on ensuring comfort, safety and, last but not least, preserving the environment. There are many home automation solutions on the market, but most of them are very narrowly focused or difficult to afford. In this master thesis, we focus on the development of our own home automation system based on affordable IoT components and advanced technologies. The thesis describes in chapters the whole process of developing a smart home system, from the domain analysis, the design of the key components, the data model and the communication interfaces, to the development of all the components of the system.

Čarman Igor, Development of a prototype system for integrated management of agricultural facilities based on the Internet of Things, Master’s thesis (September 2020)

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Davorin Kofjač, Master’s degree programme Informatics in Contemporary Society

In this master thesis, we have developed and built a prototype for the integrated management of facilities on a farm using the Internet of Things (IoT). This was done using a minicomputer containing the Linux operating system. The minicomputer is powerful enough to build solutions for different IoT domains with its own cloud. The hardware is based on a Raspberry 4 minicomputer and an RF 8.44 MHz wireless link of temperature sensors and switches communicating with each other via RS-232 protocol. A case study has been carried out which discusses the essential features of both private and public clouds, their advantages and limitations. We have built a web portal using the HTML5 markup language, which provides vector views that are the basis for displaying different building objects. The portal is supported by a relational SQL database, which allows the whole application to be scalable for different sized objects, such as industrial halls, residential houses and so on. The linking language between HTLM5, CSS and the SQL database is the Python programming language.

Klobučar Matej, Development of an application for monitoring the sheet metal forming department in industry, thesis (October 2019)

Mentor: pred. mag. Janez Kolar, higher professional study programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

Revoz is one of the largest car factories and the largest exporter in Slovenia. The factory is divided into several divisions or departments, one of the most important of which is the sheet metal forming department (press shop). In this department, among other things, it is very important to monitor the state of the department’s operation for one working day, as this is the way to establish the realisation and to give possible improvements for future work.
The poor functioning of the method of obtaining data on the operation of the department has led to the creation of an application made using Microsoft Excel. The application is designed to process the data it receives on a daily basis. These are displayed in various user-friendly ways. Also, the process of extracting new data and presenting the data is automated using the VBA scripting language in cooperation with a cloud service (OneDrive). The latter takes care of uploading and storing the data in report form, thus giving the user the possibility to access it anytime and anywhere.

Lukas Matic, Creation of an app for assessing the value of used vehicles, thesis (October 2019)

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Borut Lužar, Higher Professional Study Programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

Buying or selling a used car can be a very difficult and time-consuming process for someone without this knowledge. There are many different advertisements on Slovenian online classifieds, from which it is difficult to discern objective values of vehicles. For this reason, we have developed an application that allows users to quickly and easily evaluate different vehicles on the Slovenian market. While some such applications already exist for the Slovenian market, most of them are paid or unreliable. The thesis presents the technologies used to create the application: PHP, Javascript and Bootstrap, the methods of obtaining ratings using machine learning and the XAMPP development environment. The application development process, its requirements and functionalities are described in detail.

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Borut Lužar, Higher Professional Study Programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

In the day-to-day operations of companies or institutions dealing with complex IT systems, the time and effort spent monitoring and maintaining these disparate but usually interdependent systems and processing data is essential. For this reason, I have developed a web-based solution in the company where I work that allows the monitoring of such complex information systems. This multi-layer solution is the subject of my thesis, in which I will try to present its structure and development and to answer the key research questions that will be presented later in the thesis.

Kambič Denis, Creation of a web application to assist in the management of a volunteer fire brigade, thesis (June 2019)

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Borut Lužar, Higher Professional Study Programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

Slovenia has a very developed fire service, with many volunteer fire brigades, which probably face a similar problem to the one I am a member of. The problem arises from the ever-increasing amount of data that is still in physical form and thus does not allow for simplified data browsing and editing. I have therefore decided to create a web application that will partially digitise the business and make it easier for the managers to do their job. The thesis describes the process of creating a web application to help manage a volunteer fire brigade. It contains a description of the group under study, which includes a definition of the current problems in terms of accessibility and transparency of data, which in most cases are currently still in physical form. After the definition of the problems, there is a requirements analysis, where we define the functionalities that need to be implemented. This is followed by design, where we focus on creating a database with all the tables needed to develop a web application. After successful planning, it is the turn of the actual production and presentation of the final product, which is divided into a public part, intended for the presentation of the association, and a user part, which is protected by a system of usernames and passwords and contains the data necessary for the management of the PGD.

Krücken Aleksander, Development of a web application for learning computation with a roommate, thesis (June 2019)

Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Borut Lužar, Higher Professional Study Programme Computer Science and Web Technologies

In recent years, courses and workshops in basic mathematical calculations using the Japanese mechanical calculator soroban have been expanding in Slovenia. Unfortunately, there are very few online applications for soroban available on the web, and none in Slovenian, whether desktop, web or mobile. I have therefore created a web application with a responsive design that also works on mobile phones and tablets. In my thesis, I presented abacus, its history and development, as well as the procedures for performing basic mathematical operations on soroban. I described the technologies used, namely the .NET platform and the C# programming language. I presented in more detail the development of the web application. The application will help the user to learn about the Soroban and the procedures for performing basic computational operations, and to practise and thereby improve his/her computational skills. I also focused on the processes of installing, customising and releasing the web application on Microsoft’s Azure cloud production environment.
